Hello all,
I'm looking for an artist that can create some custom art based on one of the Christmas stories I've written. Over the last three years I've written three Christmas stories based around three of the supporting characters in the nativity. A Shepherd's story, An Inn Keeper's story, and The Inn Keeper's Son.
You find fine the stories in my newsletters, issues 16, 28 & 40 at douglasgclarke.com
My company is creating jigsaw puzzles combined with short stories. For Christmas, probably next year because I won't find anyone who can create the art quick enough this year, I would like to combine each of these stories with several puzzles.
In the box will be the story and five or six puzzles based on the story. One of the puzzles will be a large one, 11.5" x 17", 240 pieces. One will be 8.5" x 11", 100 pieces, the other three our four will be small 5" x 7", 48 piece puzzles.
What I need:
Original art based on the story, capturing I've or six key moments.
One image at high enough resolution (at least 150 dpi, 300 better) to be printed at 11.5 x 17, with a half inch bleed on all size, the cut puzzle size is 11.5 x 17.
One image at 8.5 x 11"
Three or four images at 5" x 7"
When creating the images the artist will need to think "jigsaw" which mean brighter colors, spot color, details. The basic color pallet of each picture should be different as an aid to the puzzler when trying to figure out which puzzle each piece belongs.
Non-exclusive rights to use the pictures in the puzzles.
What you get:
My thanks
Crowns in Heaven
$1.00 royalties for each puzzle set sold
Two copies of the puzzle
I am looking for one artist to do all three puzzle sets, or three different artists - one for each story's puzzle set.
Interested - just have a question, respond here or send me email at doug@agoodtale.com
God bless,
Douglas Clarke
