Calling All Artists!
In celebration of January 1st, 2024, and Public Domain Day, Duck Prints Press is thrilled to announce that we are doing open recruitment for artists to contribute to our next fanfiction and fanart anthology A Truth Universally Acknowledged: Queer Fanworks Inspired by Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice”!
Are you an Austenite? Do you love Regency romance but lament how, well, straight most of it is? Do you wish Mary Bennett found a partner? Are you positive Charlotte Lucas deserved better? Do you pity Miss de Bourgh? Do you dream of Darcy and Bingley OT3s? Well you are NOT ALONE! We at Duck Prints Press are right there with you, and we’re here to say: this is your moment to shine! We want your wlw pairings, your new happy endings, your P&P ot3s and ot4s, your “but what if they’re trans,” your queer art and fanart inspired by this beloved story! This story has such a lovely main and supporting cast, the possibilities for taking Pride and Prejudice and MAKING IT QUEER are endless!
This is the third in our Queer Fanworks Inspired By… series, publishing legal fanfic and fanart inspired by popular works in the public domain. It builds on the success of our first two, And Seek (Not) to Alter Me (inspired by Much Ado About Nothing) and Aim For The Heart (inspired by The Three Musketeers). This is a paid arting opportunity; artists will be asked to complete one full-page (A4/210 mm x 297 mm), full-color piece, and we may have space for some artists to complete more than one page and/or short comics. Base pay is $50 per page, with the potential for raises up to $400 per page depending on our success during the eventual crowdfunding campaign.

I haven't posted on this account or really been on tumblr much at all over the last couple years, but I realized I should probably post here because this is where the bezt fanart lives, and I've got some fanart I'm really proud of! Pictured below (lol), is a fanart digital painting I did of my GIRLS, Lizzie and Jane Bennet! I've always loved this scene in the movie, it's so short and sweet, and shows such a sweet intimate moment between sisters getting ready for a party together, and the lighting is just ethereal.
I also recently had digital painting click in my head thanks to my somewhat recently prescribed ADHD meds and a 3-minute tiktok video of an artist's process! I'm super excited to make the kind of digital art I've always wanted to but never knew how and felt too overwhelmed by it to learn.
Cheers to the internet in 2021 for helping me figure out at age 26 that I have ADHD, my art skills have noticeably improved since I started taking medication to help me focus and de-buzz my brain a bit.
Enjoy the art!
