French Comics Union Solicit For Political Mural Offerings

Published Thu, 29 Apr 2010 04:00:49 -0500

As part of a protest against the cost-structures being imposed by French comic publishers in the light of new digital publishing initiatives, the French comics union has launched a strike against signing new contracts, is threatening protests in May and now… doing a big drawing.

A "dazibao", a kind of politically-themed mural popular in China, will be used on the May 5th protest and the union is asking for artistic contributions towards it, A4 size or less, 100 dpi jpegs.

The guidelines for those who are interested are here.

Yes, they're in French. Obviously.
