Writer seeks artist for TPB partnership (lit agents interested)

Please read the full posting before responding.

I have a project that is a sci-fi comedy graphic novel called Methazone. I am looking for a cross between a standard DC comic style and an animated cartoon style.

I have a contract drawn up that will split ownership of the graphic novel between us, as well as anything based on it (I plan to also pitch as an animated series). The graphic novel is 88 pages, so it is a big job and requires commitment. However, I am friends with two literary agents at Inkwell Management and Writers House who specialize in graphic novels and they will give serious consideration to anything I send them. I will also pay the artist a stipend of $900 to serve as an advance on future profits. This will be paid out gradually throughout the process. If you color your own work (as this book will be in color), the stipend will be $1400.

I had an artist attached to the project a couple years ago but he had to drop out. If youhttp://www.madcarousel.com/projects/ you can see the only finished pages from that version along with some of my other projects. I want to start this project over with a new artist.

This is the description:

"Alex Knutsen used to be a respected journalist. Now he's an unemployed methadone addict at a clinic with some of the shadiest, most bizarre people New York has to offer. Until one day when he and several patients survive a mysterious flash of light that causes everyone in the city to disappear. They must try to figure out what exactly happened and why they survived – as soon as they have stolen as much as they can get their hands on. But they are not the only survivors. Societies of subterranean homeless people begin to emerge from deep below the city. Dogs and cats can now talk and walk upright as they quickly consolidate their power. And it all seems to hinge on the delusions of a physicist who has elevated the 1980s sitcom Perfect Strangers to a new religion. Now the failures of society find themselves preserving what's left of it in this strange new world."
