CrunchyCo and Tawnie Wetzsteon presents a comic anthology like no other! This collection features the talent of creative artists from all over the place, maybe even you!


What is FM Transfer?

FM Transfer is an independant anthology zine, a simple collection of various comic and art works by multiple artists. The idea behind the project is to showcase the talent of several creative peoples. These are not industry professionals, but every day people with ambitions to bring their comic book art into the spotlight. Who knows, maybe in years to come you'll pick up a copy of a popular comic book and find that the successful creator started out right here!

So far, the first volume of FM Transfer has had a very limited print run that is currently available in our shop. Once the supply is out, it is not likely that Volume 1 will ever be printed again, so make sure you get your copy soon if you are interested in collecting the series.

Volume 2 is currently underway and will be released later this year. CrunchyCo is now accepting submissions from any interested artist (see below).


FM Transfer Vol. 2

Deadline for Submissions is January 1, 2010

Information
CrunchyCo is now accepting submissions to be printed in the FM Transfer Vol. 2 comic anthology. If you are an artist of any kind, submit your work right away! CrunchyCo will be reviewing the submissions as they come in. When the final cuts have been made, the book will be printed by the hundreds and distributed at various conventions and events, as well as in our online store. Please read the submission requirements below.

Submission Tips and Requirements
> All entries must be submitted on or before January 1, 2010 for consideration.
> Submit either a short comic story, or pin-up style artwork.
> Short comic stories may be 1-3 pages long.
> Pin-up artwork may be submitted individually, or in collections of 1-3 pages.
> Artwork must be in JPEG format at 300dpi
> The final print will be comic-sized (6.625" x 10.25"), so your artwork should either be that size, or able to be proportionally resized to those dimensions.
> The interior of the final print will be black and white, so make sure your artwork is either already black and white, or translates well to grayscale.
> You may make as many submissions as you like, but only one comic story (or up to three pin-ups) of yours will be considered for the final print.
> All artwork must be tasteful and comply with CrunchyCo's terms of service. CrunchyCo reserves the right to disregard any submission that violates these terms without review.

Information
The first issue of FM Transfer was almost like a prototype for volumes to come. Art was collected by Tawnie Wetzsteon through online avenues such as deviantArt. Entries by friends and dA members are creative, though much of it is quite rough. In order to make the deadline for the book's release at Sakura-Con 2009, submitted artwork was not screened, and pretty much anything was accepted into the collection. The first volume of FM Transfer turned out to be a fun experiment and a humble beginning, not wihout its flaws, but it the book serves as a formula and basis for comparision to improve and refine subsequent issues.

PREVIEW

FM Transfer Vol. 1 is available now in the CrunchyCo Shop.
