Hope Street Studios in Glasgow are looking for any illustration students interested in a paid internship, who would mainly be doing comic book work but possible storyboarding and design.
Top artist Gary Erskine, who is heading up the hunt, tells downthetubes they’re looking for someone from Glasgow and Edinburgh (or within nearby area) as some work involves being on hand at the studio.
Sequential art experience is preferred but not essential.
To apply, please send a link to your Deviant Art site or similar and provide a contact email address.
• Email Gary at garyerskineonlineATbtinternet.com He will follow up with interested parties as soon as possible.
