illustrate Artist Cartoons

To Illustrate a childrens book about a minibus character. I will require 12 illustrations. The books are not sold commercially. They will be sponsored and given free to children in Hong Kong and China. The books willl have an international theme. The story is about Ming the minbus and his driver who visit OUTBACK AUSTRALIA and discover some things about ABORIGINAL CULTURE. I am a teacher in a Chinese primary school and am not allowed to do any paid activities while under contact. I will approach publishers after my contract expires and any commercial selling of the book will include royalties for the illustrator. I have completed 20 books so far and have been happy with the work of the illustrators. I am not concerned about reputations or experience as I am quite happy to let people who want the experience do the books. Please bid for the 12 illustrations. Not per illustration as this can cause misunderstandings. As I am funding the whole exercise from my own pocket I am looking to keep the cost between 30 and 100 dollars. Students welcome to bid as well as established illustrators. I will provide samples from previous books on any characters in the story. It's best if you are able to provide samples of your style. I will provide some guidence sketches but also will give to lattitude for your own interpretation as long as students recognise bus as Ming the Minibus
