THRACKADOOM

We make you look awesome!

We want your SUBMISSIONS, baby!

Are you an artist/illustrator/photographer/writer with what some would call “bizarre sensibilities”?

Prove it.

THRACKADOOM is working on a digital AND print project, and we need your material.
Have a story you always wanted to tell but didn’t know where to tell it? Tell it to us.
Got an idea for an insane comic, but Marvel and DC won’t answer your calls? Show us.

Get your name out there in a collection of fringe art and stories from Birmingham and beyond…

What are we looking for, particularly? Well… We’ll know it when we see it. Think of publications like McSweeneys, Hi Fructose, Made, and Tales from the Crypt.

The sky is the limit– unless it’s a story about bingo parlors. We REALLY don’t care about bingo Parlors.

Guidelines:
Illustration, Art, Photos- Image requirements: Minimum 300dpi, as big as possible for beauty’s sake. We want it to look good. Note: there won’t be any two page spreads, so keep that in mind.

Writing – Just drop your story/article/erotic novella into an email as a WORD attachment. Notice I didn’t mention poetry? Yeah.

Complete projects only, please. Don’t send us your ideas or uncompleted works. We already have ideas, and baby, they’ll blow your mind.

Will you get paid? nope. Have you been paid up until now? you’re missing the point!
But if it makes you feel any better, we won’t be paid either. Not yet. But we’ll ALL be in print, and this is just the beginning…

Length is up to you, and please include a short author/artist bio.

Please make sure the word ‘Submission‘ appears in the email heading, and send your brilliance to THRACKADOOM@GMAIL.COM

Deadline for first issue is December 15th! Don’t procrastinate. It’s not attractive.
Allow us a hot minute (at least 2-3 weeks) to respond to you, and we promise we won’t insult you with a form letter.
Deal? Good.
All submissions remain property of you, the Creator. By submitting your work you are giving THRACKADOOM, the express permission to use your works in print format, digital format, and as promotional/advertising material.
The Creator will ALWAYS receive credit for their work.

What are you waiting for?

I want to send you a postcard!

Lots of things and stuff need punching. We’re back!

This is the Datamoshed version. It is more of an experiment than anything.
