About the program
Full Magazine Publishing produces graphic novels and related products. This includes our flagship publication Full Mag: Veteran Stories Illustrated, a veteran history project in graphic novel form, Lore of the Legion, a single page serial presented each month in The American Legion Magazine, and other productions. We seek capable artists who can produce high quality 'comic book' style artwork for our graphic novels and other productions.
Jobs this program prepares you for
SkillBridge participants will produce artwork to be integrated into ongoing projects at Full Magazine Publishing. This will allow participants to engage on graphic novel and related projects and prepare them for similar work in the industry. It should be noted that it is difficult to obtain employment in this industry and most artists working in the industry are freelancers. In fact, it is difficult to define 'the industry' as there is very little traditional opportunity for employment. There are art schools providing training for students so they can create comics or graphic novels with little prospect of employment afterwards. Our hope is to provide an opportunity for capable artists to participate in real projects, but also to prepare them for the realities of this industry in flux, or lack of a traditional industry, and work to create and innovate new opportunities for work that recognize these challenges.
Eligibility & prerequisites
The participant must be able to produce high quality 'comic book' style are suitable for use in graphic novels and similar products. A portfolio review would be necessary to evaluate the capabilities of the potential participant.
