Tired
of seeing the same five illustrators drawing just about every drawing
you see on a day to day basis, from hip airport lounge scenes to trendy
bar scenes, advertising everything from jeans to fabric softner? Us too.
It’s because a small, secretive group known only as “The Five”
control Britain’s illustration trade, keeping outsiders at bay and
ruling the corporate market with an iron fist. To encourage a new generation
to step forward, Sleaze is inviting anyone with scribbling skills to submit
work. The best entries will appear in a forthcoming issue of Sleaze, and
we’ll probably start employing you on regular basis to portray otherwise
unportrayable stories and ideas (try finding a photo for an opinion piece
about repressed memories).
Any
form of illustration is valid, as long as the dimensions of the piece
are 230 by 285… units irrelevant. Please do not submit work which
contains: hip airport lounge scenes, trendy bar scenes, deliberately left
handed scrawling, snowboarders, people wearing headphones, MCs, neon,
DJs, girl skaters with large feet, space invaders or anything else from
Atari, arrows, 1980s graf charcters with spliffs, anything involving air
travel, anything involving olde english fonts, robots, apes, mullets,
mesh hats, super heroes, manga, Bob Marley and/or Kurt Cobain and/or Tupac
Shakur… either separately or in a “heaven” montage.
People
not to rip off: Airside, Banksy, The Designers Republic, Jamie Hewlett,
Pete Fowler, Airside, Futura 2000, Jasper Goodhall, Graham Routhweit,
Airside, Jason Brooks, Twist/Barry Mcgee, Airside, Mike Judge, Dave Kinsey,
Airside, Silas, Buck 65, Eboy.
Submissions
can be submitted via email to 230x285@sleazenation.com
or via post/personal visit to Pete Lewis, Sleazenation, 1BC Zetland House,
5-25 Scrutton Street, London, EC2A 4HJ. illustration: Danny Sangra
