For the new artist. If you want to pitch in on this project, then the only thing that you need to do is raise your hand and say so! We're accepting artwork for articles and ads for the Lady's Sharper Eye.
For Artists: Watch this thread and the latest issue thread for requests. If you spot a request from myself or a writer that you want to fulfill - just call dibs in that thread or in this one.
For Writers: You may put requests for illustrations for articles either here, or in the thread for the issue you expect the article to appear in. Keep an eye on it and let me know if no one seems interested and the deadline is approaching.
Artwork Standards
This is where we get just a little picky on artwork. The Lady's Sharper Eye is a newspaper style project. So for artwork we are looking for good black and white or high contrast greyscale images. Be aware that your image may need to be shrunk to fit on a page or within a column width. Be sure to account for that when you create it and scan it in or tiny details may be lost in the wash so to speak. Don't go overboard on these - it's a newspaper, not a masterpiece to hang on the wall. I don't want you to put so much work into a piece that won't work well for the medium.

I actually volunteered to edit the Lady's Sharper Eye back in, I think, 2001. As Planewalker stopped updating around then, I didn't bother to do much of the actual editing, waiting for a time when doing so would be actually useful. As a result, I've got a folder full of anonymous, largely unedited articles intended for this newspaper. I'm not sure if anyone else still has them.
