25.01.2022 Hi, I’m looking to connect with a local illustrator about an ongoing collaboration for a children’s book series. This will be a paid gig as I am planning to cro...wdfund to launch the series. I could outsource this to a random freelancer on the other side of the world, but I’d much rather develop a partnership with someone locally in the mountains/Sydney surrounds. Ideally you’ll have some experience drawing characters and/or nature as the series focuses on kids creating a school garden. If you’re interested please DM me or email me at [email protected] and send me links to your portfolio/website/Instagram/FB page and tell me a little bit about yourself. Thanks! (Picture for attention and the LOLs - not indicative of my book series ;-) ) See more
