Running a teen program? Imagine a world in which your teens could take existing comic book characters, create their own stories, and then share them without having to worry about restrictive copyright regulations. Now imagine that world is 1940s era bio-punk.

You can stop imagining, because that world is about to come to fruition. Steven Sanders is a comic book artist who has worked with Marvel and Image Comics. His next project, Symbiosis, is a Creative Commons licensed, Kickstarter funded, world-building art book. The story-telling is loose, and told mostly through the artwork.  The rest of the story is up to the user:  to create, to tell, to share–all through creative commons licensing.

Steven Sanders will be talking about his project and Creative Commons licensing in the upcoming Remix and Mashup issue of the YA Hotline.

For more information, check out the Symbiosis Kickstarter Page or Steven Sanders’ personal website.
