astroblob:Hi sweet beans, I’m looking for submissions to DEAR EATEN FISH #2DEAR EATEN FISH is a zine initiative that functions as an open artistic letter of support to Eaten Fish, a 25 yr old comics artist who has been detained on Manus Island for the past 3 years. Living with severe OCD and C-PTSD, he’s too unstable to have his refugee status processed. He has written and drawn openly about the horrifying conditions of life on Manus. This zine also aims to make his cause visible, and functions as an artistic petition to have him brought to the mainland for urgent mental health care.The proceeds from sales of the print zine will all go to Gifts to Manus and Nauru, a charity that ensures those detained in offshore processing facilities have phone credit, and means to access the outside world (necessities that are not ensures by out government). It will also be available for free online. The first can be found here.Submissions should be black and white, and scanned at 300 dpi– because instead of Officeworks printing, we’re riso-printing this one with the incredibly generous help of Helio Press. They will be printed at a5 size. I’m looking for cartoons, comics and illustrations from anyone who wants to submit– if you feel intimidated by the idea of riso, or don’t know what dpi is– shoot me a message or an email. I don’t bite, and it’s easy once you know :) this is not exclusive to professional artists, and it doesn’t have to be new work.Submissions close March 6, and should be sent to helloastroblob@gmail.comCover image by Rachel Ang.#bringthemhere -- source link
