We have the pleasure of welcoming a guest editor at Heroes Dutch Comic Con. This is a very exclusive opportunity for upcoming Comic Artists. They will get a chance to present their portfolio. Our editor this year is the one and only C.B. Cebulski, Editor-in-Chief, Marvel Comics.
Showing your portfolio to this renowned editor is a chance of a lifetime. The editor is the one who can give you valuable professional feedback on your work. He will be present at Heroes Dutch Comic Con to review all portfolios throughout the day. Use his experience to your advantage to grow even more!
HDCC PORTFOLIO METHODOLOGY / LOGISTICS:
– We´ll leave a box / bucket in the editor’s table for people to leave their portfolios. Those portfolios HAVE TO BE only COPIES, NEVER originals, always in A4 size, with a curriculum vitae included after the cover, as page 1.
– Each portfolio needs to be a minimum of six pages, and a maximum of 15. It can be pencillers, inkers (if it’s an inker he/she should also show the pencils he’s inked) colorists (if it’s a colorist he or she should also include the black and white pages he/she has colored). Each portfolio must also have a cover with an illustration, the artist’s full name or “nom the plume” and contact information. Also, every interior page needs to have written the full name and contact info (phone number and email) of the creator at the top of EACH page. We can’t guarantee the portfolios will be returned. It can’t be lost, or an editor could decide to take it back home, so the artist must accept in advance it won’t be returned, and we should specify that in the rules. “If you leave in the box, it’s quite possible you won’t get it back, so please don’t include any original art in the portfolio”.)
– This is free access. ANYBODY can leave their portfolio. But NOT EVERYBODY will get a private meeting, only those the editor decide are ready or have the potential to become a professional artist. We’ll ask the selected artists to show an ID to access the meeting, because only the ones selected can access those.
– Every day of the show the artists will be able to leave their portfolios at the editors’ table until 2:00 pm; at that time the editors will pick and review the portfolios from each bucket and pick who they will be meeting with. We’ll write the names of the people each will meet in two whiteboards (or similar) around 3:00 pm and meetings will start at 3:30 pm, for two hours, until 5:30 pm (each meeting lasting 15 minutes, approx.). If you’re not on the list, feel free to ask for your portfolio, and when at all possible, we’ll return it to you.
