At GeekDad we are fans of opportunity, given the opportunity we have had to share our passions and ideas with you here on this blog. So, we give a hats off to the UK's Mohawk Media who have brought us the graphic novel adventures of 80s cult figure and A-Team member, Mr.T.

Mohawk Media have put a call out for comic book artists to help work on projects for 2010.

To quote straight from the media release:

To help spearhead this search, Mr. T author, Christopher Bunting, has been appointed as Editor-In-Chief.

Bunting says: "As a freelance writer, one in the early stages of his career, I know just how tough it is to break into comic books."

"I’ve often heard aspiring artists say there are no openings. I’m therefore proud to be part of this Mohawk Media initiative to give artists the opportunity to become published, and be involved in some of the coolest titles of 2010!"

How many mohawks this will require you to draw and how well you have to be able to represent other members of the A-Team, we don't know. But, if you have been sketching and inking for many years and think you have the chops, then the publisher recommends the following:

  • A brief email about yourself and any published experience, accompanied by a minimum of 5 sequential pages
  • Story pages only (no pinups, paintings or portraits)
  • Your strongest – and preferably, recent – work
  • A variety of genres if possible
  • Samples in jpeg or PDF format only. Links will not be opened
  • All submissions to chris(at)mohawkmedia.co.uk

Good luck, budding GeekDad artists.
