Kind of an interest check kind of an application. PFL zine anyone?

We’re in a community event drought, so I thought id help!

Ive been thinking about it a bit, and I’d like to attempt to host this. Any reblogs are appreciated, even if you yourself don’t want to apply. If I get around at least 20ish responses, I think that’ll be my mark for pulling this together and hosting it. No due date for apps or the actual zine at the moment.

Calendar Applications Are Open!

Click Here!

Applications close May 19th

Hello and welcome! This application is for the 2026 Fourth World Calendar, a simple zine-like project created by fans of the New Gods. We're looking for up to 12 primary artists to each contribute an 8.5 x 11 inch work of art featured for a calendar month. We're also looking for optional secondary artists for smaller needs like graphics or merch. 

All artwork should be new (ie not published elsewhere), should not use generative AI, and should not be traced. This is a general audience project, so no 18+ pieces please. Artwork that directly depicts a ship should be kept to what's in comics canon.

As this project has a set number of major pieces, it isn't an open project. This means your example works will be reviewed for quality, style and completeness. That said, we know that everyone is at different skill levels and will review accordingly, so if you're interested in getting involved definitely apply! We will contact all applicants to let you know our decision.

All dates for contributors are during 2025 so that we can get the calendar assembled, printed and shipped well before 2026 arrives. Once the application phase closes, tasks will be assigned at the end of May via your preferred method of communication, and artwork will be due at the end of July. Since we must stick closely to a timeline, the end of July is a firm deadline. We also ask that you respond promptly to any official communications as they come out.

If you have questions, you can DM @upagainstthesunset or @ophanimgold. There is also an open answer question at the end of the form if you have other thoughts to share. And if you're curious about what's coming up next, the pinned post will always indicate where we are in the process. Thank you for checking out our application form, we look forward to hearing from you!

Please do a whole post about phd applications, funding applications, fellowships, TAships etc. Would love your take on it. Thanks

I'm chronically horrible at responding to asks, so this is coming later than you probably expected!

For context, I'm now a second year PhD art history student about to take her doctoral (comprehensive) exams in April. I applied for PhD programs during the last semester of my master's program, which was a terminal degree through a different university than the one I currently attend.

I applied to two PhD programs in the United States and two in the United Kingdom: the processes are different, particularly when it comes to funding. The former will automatically consider you for funding and it's expected, at least in the humanities, that they will grant you tuition remission and a stipend for at least four years (potentially more, depending on your particular program). It's also possible to win additional fellowships, either through your university or a third party. For example, I have departmental funding (ie. a stipend that I receive for being a Graduate Assistant) and an outside fellowship from my university's Graduate School. My department applied for that fellowship on my behalf before I even enrolled. The other American university to which I applied also offered me tuition remission and a stipend, but it was less than the university I currently attend.

Two general notes about funding in the United States: (1) it often changes to account for rising cost of living but that does not necessarily mean you will be making a living wage, and (2) it often changes depending on whether your school has a Union. Graduate workers at my university are currently working to unionize, which would not only guarantee a living wage for union members but also offer protections for international students and student parents. There are a lot of benefits but the TLDR for funding is that unionizing often means the difference between $28,000 and $45,000 yearly stipend (see this article from the Boston Herald about BU's graduate student union). Graduate Assistants are often not allowed to hold a second job outside of the university and it's also difficult to do so when you are (a) working, (b) completing coursework, and (c) independently researching. My museum fellowship, which I'm due to begin in a couple days, jeopardized my funding status and I had to fight my university for them not to take away my fellowship. It ultimately worked out because I had my department chair's support but not all students are similarly supported—and not all departments are willing to advocate for their students.

Pivoting to UK schools: the TLDR is that they offer very little funding for international students and the funding that is available, either through the institutions themselves or outside organizations, is often not enough to cover the cost of living. Tuition is largely cheaper than in America but the difference was not significant enough for it to factor into my decision. If you're interested in more detail, I'd recommend reaching out to @therepublicofletters who actually attends a UK institution. She can also tell you more about how their programs are structured. Unlike American PhD programs—which involve at least two years of coursework, doctoral exams, and graduate assistantships before defending your prospectus and beginning dissertation research—UK programs ask you to apply with a prospectus that you will use as the basis for dissertation research that you begin immediately upon entry. The difference is that American programs typically take 5-7 years to complete whereas UK ones are only 3-4 years. While this may seem convenient in the short term, I was advised that American institutions (museums, universities, etc) often prefer PhDs from American institutions because of the extra work completed.

Setting aside this technical information, I chose the four programs to which I applied based on vibes. I had a master list of schools and advisors and I contacted each one to see if we fit in terms of academic interests and personalities. I did not want to work with an advisor I didn't like and who didn't like me—or who had so many students that they had no time for me. Aside from speaking with them personally, I also reached out to their current advisees: students will often give you a more honest perspective on faculty and the department as a whole. I would almost lend more weight to what the students say than any of the professors because they are and/or will be your peers. They are also the people who will give you the most honest information about how professors and the department view students of color, women, queer students, etc. Art history and the humanities are fairly white, straight, and male dominated, so it's important to get a read on how non-normative (for lack of a better collective term) individuals are treated. I used this information to narrow down my master list to four schools, each of which I would be happy to attend. Whether I was admitted to one or to all four, I would have a place to go where I would be content and able to find community.

This is a personal note but something to consider when it comes to advisors is gender. That should not be a determining factor but I realized after committing to my current school that this is the first time I've worked with a male advisor. I love him dearly and he is one of the most encouraging scholars I have met but there have been occasions where there is a disconnect based on life experience. That said, I know many people who have had no issues at all!

Throughout this whole process, the name value of the schools was functionally irrelevant. In my experience—and that of the numerous individuals who advised me during the application process—your advisor is far more important than your school. While this will necessarily vary by discipline, you want to work with someone who has connections and/or knows how to network. For example, an older scholar will likely know everyone and their mother whereas a younger scholar will know fewer people but likely be more present at conferences, etc.

In the end, what matters most is your happiness and stability. Will you like working with your chosen advisor? Will you like taking classes in other disciplines within your department? Will you be able to make friends and/or have civil relationships with other graduate students (ie. will people steal books you need because they know you need them, like at Columbia)? Can you afford to live in whatever city in which you school is located? Are they paying you a living wage and/or offering you alternate opportunities to apply for funding?

I chose my school based on the graduate community, my advisors (I now have two), and the funding package. There have been incidental issues that I could not have anticipated, but on the whole, I do not regret my decision because I prioritized my happiness when I was applying and did not make decisions based on what I thought other people would want. This is a huge commitment and you need to be self-motivated, to rely on your love of the subject, to make it through the hard times.

My last bit of advice, which I received from my undergraduate advisor: don't go into debt for art history! If a program isn't paying you and/or isn't paying you enough, then they're not worth your time. Know your worth and ask for what you deserve, never be afraid to negotiate funding.

Let me know if y'all have any other questions! This was a long one but I hope it was helpful.

Lox’s application for Smiling & Co!!

Apologies for her grumpy attitude in the photo, they don’t like to be held up like that. She’s normally much more cheerful and friendly!

My handwriting kinda sucks for the last question, here’s what was written for the last question :>

I’m not good with jokes or comforting others, but the small, personal gifts I give my friends always bring smiles! I would like to keep that up :)

And here’s a closeup for my pic!!

I originally drew Lox on paper and cut him out, but I didn’t like how the colors looked on paper so I colored over her on ibis paint x

I’m not the greatest artist, but I couldn’t pass up a wonderful opportunity like this! It’s what Lox would have wanted :)

This event is by @springbon-t-art !!

For @springbon-t-art 's Smiling & Co Event! This is Fowler's application letter for Smiling & Co. This is fitting for Fowler as he is a happy go lucky fellow, he always loves to make everyone happy and to help give them a smile! Plus with previous experiences as a Star Collecter and finding himself lost at that one office, how could he say no for another job opportunity! (Hope you love the subtle references to the previous events heh. Also had to give Fowler a new outfit once again, thought this fitted with the smiling theme)
