PARTICIPATE IN A BOOK!
During Pop-Up Comics Center in St.Peterburg, many new comics will be born! Some comics will be created during the week, some are going to merely see the light as vague ideas for new stories.
From all the comics related to this visit we are going to edit and publish a collective anthology book. The link throughout the stories is St.Petersburg itself and life in the city. Foreign visitors of course see the city through travellers’ eyes, while its own habitants live and breath the city life daily.
If you want to offer your story to be published, you can bring it to us on location in November or send it by email ( pop-up-piter@sarjakuvakeskus.fi and remember 300 dpi resolution!). The deadline is until the end of this year, so even if you only get started now, you can finish your work in good time.
