illustrator needed for best-selling book series

[authorinneed]

I am a best-selling author writing my second book, and I am wanting to include some cool artwork to go along with my non-fiction book.

The exact artwork I'm looking for will be inspired by the writing, and I am wanting to replicate the work that Bernard Chang has done with Neil Strauss (see cover):

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Emergency-Story-Dangerous-World-Alive/dp/1847677606/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1265105221&sr=8-4

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/images/1847677606/sr=8-4/qid=1265105221/ref=dp_image_z_0?ie=UTF8&n=266239&s=books&qid=1265105221&sr=8-4

There will be approximately 10 panel comics to draw (which will take up one page eg http://www.nytimes.com/imagepages/2003/09/16/arts/20030916_POPLIFE_IMAGE.html ) and a further 10 pictures for the start of each chapter.

Budget for work:

To be honest I have no idea how to set a budget for this work, however I am happy to negotiate a fair fee for the right person (and of course give the appropriate acknowledgements).

I understand this is a large job, and I am an author who is signed to a major publisher.

If you are interested, please provide me with examples of your work that are the most similar to the illustrations above (and of course your email so I can get in touch!).

Many thanks!




Many thanks.

Might be easier if you provided YOUR email so people could get in touch with you directly. For a variety of reasons, we don't really allow portfolio links in the threads themselves. (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=149892)

It would be more standard for your publisher to pick the illustrator for your book. Have you talked to them about this? It might save you some hassles down the line.
