Job opportunity: cartoonist/letterist needed...urgent.
Hi, Came across comics dc and thought you might be the right person to ask - I'm looking for a skilled, experienced cartoonist/illustrator with great lettering skills to hire for a 1-2 day shoot that starts tomorrow. We're doing a project that is inspired by the RSA Animate series: We will speed up the artist's hand drawing the images on a dry erase board, and match to a voiceover like they did in the link above. The drawings look simple, but they are harder than they appear. If you know anyone or have suggestions about where to post this request, I'd certainly appreciate it. Nate |

One missing cartoonist from State Dept tour

- and I particularly like this quote, which seems to go to the heart of the matter to me - "The young cartoonist noted that the U.S. government interfered with his freedom of speech in the context of a program that is meant to support it."
