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.

REQUEST FOR ARTISTS PROPOSALS
About | Winners Receive | What To Submit | Deadline
18th Street is a community which values art making as an essential component of a vibrant, just and healthy society. Our mission is to provoke public dialogue through contemporary art making.
For our 2010 exhibition year, 18th Street Arts Center is seeking proposals from artists, teams of artists, and curators which addresses a common theme; the status of our creative economy.
About Status Report: The Creative Economy
A creative economy is characterized by the key economic factors of talent, innovation and creativity. As the notion of a creative class is widely discussed, promoted and debated, it is apparent through recent research that these factors are not distributed evenly across the economy, but instead seem concentrated in specific locations. Where people gather is critical in stimulating new sources of grown, new idea generation, and an increase in productivity.
Los Angeles is often described as one of these places. After a turbulent economic year where do we stand? Are we on the way up, on the way down, or stuck in neutral? Who are the players and mediators in a creative economy, and how is it changing? Who is included and who is excluded? How are artists responding to seismic changes in the arts and culture market, and what are the new models they are developing to support the production of their work, and the dissemination of their ideas? How should our cultural institutions, both non - profit and for profit, be responsive to the overall health of the Los Angeles creative economy?
We are interested in proposals which look at new methods of research and artistic production which address issues of civic engagement and personal responsibility, local community and its diversity, demographics and equity, conflict resolution and social awareness, and the re-development of the urban environment as a holistic and spiritual enterprise.
Selected proposals will be offered:
* Three month residency at 18th Street Arts Center
* Fee ranging from $2500-5000 to complete the proposed project
* Will be presented during our quarterly Art Nights, as either an exhibition, or a public project
We encourage and will most closely look at proposals which use our gallery and project room as a laboratory/studio for new work and ideas. Artists will be encouraged to use our site as a point of interaction, production, and inquiry.
Proposals will be accepted from individual artists as well as teams of artists, and from curators. A catalogue will be published for all of the projects.
To submit a proposal:
Please send a concise proposal of no more than three pages by June 30, 2009; it should include the project description which relates to the theme Status Report: The Creative Economy; the names and a brief bio of project participants; up to 12 images of art works or previous projects which have bearing on the proposal (jpeg format, no larger than 6" x 4", 200dpi); and a preliminary budget as to how the funds will be used, showing any additional sources of support.
Proposals should be submitted on-line to:
ccampbell@18thstreet.org
or mailed to:

Big Visual Arts Day at the Westside
Hello All Mosaic Artists
Wanted to invite u to be a part of a Big Visual Arts Day at the Westside gathering at BHHS on March 29th, regardless of what gathering you normally go to.
We're transforming the lobby area into a Gallery and Live painting space for the series:
“A Beautiful Life: The Beatitudes of Jesus”
Matthew 5:8 – Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
The overarching theme is Children.
We'll have 2 Galleries: one of Art done by children and one of Art done by grown ups. ;)
• We're looking for several artists who will be able to paint live new paintings that relate to the bible verse or perhaps a piece already started so it can be finished there (or further developed).
• Also we need you all to submit already finished pieces that would relate in the themes for the "grown ups" Gallery, (please email submissions with picture, size and medium)
• We need many hands to help set up on the morning of the 29th arriving at 8:30 - 9 am. It will be a transformiation!!!
• And most of all pray for the team, the visual communication and the lives of all involved especially those who will witness the event and those who come for the first time to experience God.
It is important that you respond and commit ASAP and let us know how you will be able to serve and what we can count on.
if u have any questions please feel free to call or email me (Noemi) and/or Audra.
Thank you!!!

Wanted to invite u to be a part of a Big Visual Arts Day at the Westside gathering at BHHS on March 29th, regardless of what gathering you normally go to.
We're transforming the lobby area into a Gallery and Live painting space for the series:
“A Beautiful Life: The Beatitudes of Jesus”
Matthew 5:8 – Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
The overarching theme is Children.
