Welcome!

Welcome to OuCoPo, an informal art jam project hosted by cartoonist Calamity Jon Morris.

The purpose of the project is for interested cartoonists to submit short (1-6 page) stories on a common theme, which changes from month-to-month. Participation is open, the deadline typically runs from the first of the month through the last day of the month.

Prior to this blog, there have been two other collaborative comic jam events, The Calamity! Project and BOO:Halloween Stories.

The closest we have to RULES:

• The theme of this collaborative comic project changes every month. Stories submitted should relate to the the theme, or generally be reminiscent of the theme.

• Deadline for submissions is the end of the month. Submissions are published on a rolling basis (i.e. they're posted as I get to them during the month)

• Submissions should be between one and six pages.

• Submissions can be color or black and white, or any combination thereof.

• Acceptable file formats are: JPG, BMP, GIF, PNG, PSD and PSP.

• Individual pages should measure 1987×3075 at 300dpi, or any other page size which shrinks to 600×930 pixels at 72dpi. If a margin is used, it should be 100 pixels from each side on the 300dpi document, or 32 pixels on 72dpi. (A template will be provided, see below).

• Submissions must be accompanied by submission form (to follow) requesting name of contributors, brief biographical info, and website or email info as appropriate.

• Send all submissions to calamityjon@gmail.com

• Have fun!

Submissions Process: Just to have a concrete process outlined...
• Please send high resolution (300dpi+) copies of your story (or post them to an accessible FTP directory and send the address) to calamityjon@gmail.com.

• Please use one of the following templates or the dimensions of these templates (1987×3075 at 300dpi) when submitting:
.PSD Template with borders.
300 dpi .PSD Template without borders (full bleed).

• Please include your name, preferred email address and personal website in your email, along with a brief bio (if you'd care to). This information will be shared with the readers of the blog, so keep that in mind ...

• If you have any suggestions for themes or if you have any questions, please drop me an email, thanks!
