That’s right cats & kittens, our FIFTH annual edition of Off the Wookie is in the works. The last four years have featured stories including a guide to making a bowl out of a 12″ vinyl record, notes from a cross-continental road race, a guide to the largest pinball machine collection in the world, a night spent with a real-life superhero, the perfect recipe for Kool-Aid pickles, and my own adventures in lazy man’s home brewing.
This year we’re returning to our roots with a “How To” theme. If you don’t have an amazing tale to tell, then just think of all the great stuff you’ve discovered over the past year and show us and our readers how to do build/do/dance/find something amazing! Please send your how-to guides, articles, short stories, illustrations, comics, photojournals and anything else you can think of along the lines of do-it-yourself fun towookie@icecreamman.com.
This year’s cover will be a collaboration with Dabs and Myla and Surge. They were part of Primary Flight at Art Basel.
Questions about guidelines and image attachments should go towookie@icecreamman.com as well. If you have any doubts about your story ideas or need to run to run them by us before embarking on the creative process, just shoot over an e-mail. Due to a high volume of submissions, not every story will make the print edition.
The deadline for all stories/drawings/fun stuff is SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 2010
Submission Guidelines:
-Articles up to 540 words (180 for 1/4 page, 360 for 1/2 page, 540 for 3/4 page)
-Illustrations and comics in full color, print size 5″ x 7″, 300dpi
-You must attach or link all accompanying images and photos at high resolution
We are also in the process of selling ad space. Space is limited and an incredible bargain, with 7,000 to be given away at SXSW along with free ice cream. Get all the ad info at OfftheWookie.com
