Internship in Venice, CA (for The Assault Factory)
You would be working for award-winning comic strip artist (and writer, short-film producer, many other artistic experiments & outlets!) David Malki, creator of Wondermark Comics. I'm imagining this as a threefold opportunity:
1. work part-time with the best in the business (of 2D visual comedy and internet comic strips and making a living from a website)
2. build a relationship with one of the most creative and influential persons in this niche (David Malki! Bibliophibian!)
3. be present in his life, and the lives of others in that niche, to pray, speak and act for Christ when the opportunity arises.
4. have David Malki tell you what to do with your day off, and spend a good chunk of it with him (since this is an unpaid one-day-per-week internship)
Visit his site at wondermark.com to get a better idea of who he is and how fun this would be.
Here is the text of his internship offer:
Would you (or do you know someone who would) like to learn all about the high-stakes world of Professional Webcomics™? Do you have far too much free time, and currently fritter it away counting dust-mites or smelling carpet samples? Are you in the Los Angeles area? And are you not a total lunkhead?
I am looking for an intern at my new base of operations, The Assault Factory, in Venice Beach! This is a one-day-a-week position starting very soon and extending tentatively through the San Diego Comic-Con in July. The position is unpaid, but meals will be provided as well as mileage reimbursement for any errands run on my watch. You will probably end up with some merch as well before the whole thing is said and done. I will sign any sort of school paperwork that you like — internship form? Hot-lunch voucher? Tardy slip? No problem. I also write killer letters of recommendation.
The ideal candidate is friendly, intelligent, vaguely familiar with the comic and my merchandise, and computer literate. Helpful (but not required) qualifications include: car ownership, facility with Photoshop, facility with Final Cut Pro, facility with WordPress, facility with nunchucks, and local to the West LA/Venice area — I hate asking people to drive across town. Although, of course, that’s your prerogative.
Please send your resumé (with a brief cover letter if you like) to dave at wondermark dot com, subject: “Internship”. Include any calendar or scheduling factors I should know regarding your availability. I will be conducting interviews as soon as possible, so please be willing to come to Venice for a sit-down.
