I know my question will seem naive for some of you but I am kind of lost for the moment.
I am a french artist, I did a lot of cover art for young adult litterature for french publishers, most of the important ones I think. I started to work as a cover artist for Marvel last year, and I would really like to do some cover art for US literature publishers, but the submission system seems very diferent.
In France, mostly, I phone and ask for a appointment with a publisher or I send a PDF with a link to my online portfolio, and it usually works quite well.
As I plan to be in New York in october for the comic con, I thought I would contact several art directors in order to meet them, but I cannot find any specific contact email for artists.
I am a bit lost. Can anybody advise me? How do you contact art directors or publishers ?
Ho and another thing, I received a proposition to be represented by an agent, but I 'm not sure it is a good idea... Is it something common in United states for artists ?
