Project Description:

We are a new professional company looking for artists that can provide vector illustrations of characters, scenes or symbols for each classical book on our list. The illustrations will be in silhouette form with no other necessary details except for the outline of the illustration.

Specifically what you will be doing, and requirements:

- You will be assigned to at least 3 classical books (books like Alice in Wonderland, Pride and Prejudice, etc..) every week

- You and I must have weekly discussions on what you plan to draw for each book - this may not be necessary after several completed illustrations. It depends how well the artist understands the plot, story, symbolism and imagery of each book.

- Provide completed, original illustrations (in .AI format) within a week of assignment

- VERY IMPORTANT: You are not required to have read the book assigned to you, but you MUST do what you can to understand the plot, story, symbolism and imagery of each book. This can be done by perusing Wikipedia, Google Books, Sparknotes, or even reading certain key paragraphs of climatic events in the book (all requested books can be legally downloaded digitally online through Project Gutenberg).

- NON-NEGOTIABLE REQUIREMENT: You must have had created silhouette, vector drawings in the past, and have a portfolio to show for it.

- ALSO IMPORTANT: You cannot simply create outlines of pre-existing images. The work must be 100% original!

- NOTE: Each book should only have 1-4 shapes in total! Easy peasy right?

YOUR PAY: $15 dollars per book

LENGTH OF PROJECT: I have more than 50+ books to do, so you will have a steady income from this company as long as you meet the requirements.

NOTE1: We are only looking for artists who live in native-English speaking countries. (ie. Canada, US, UK etc..)

NOTE2: $15 per illustration is what I figure the complexity of the project to be. The illustrations are very very simple and there will usually be a maximum of 3 objects in total for each illustration.

However, I don't mind changing the pay structure to an hourly basis. It will be <$35 dollars per hour.

Thank you.
