Hey, everybody, spread the word: We are actively seeking a talented illustrator for our graphic-play initiative. As followers of our blog already know, we are adapting Australian playwright Declan Greene’s Moth into a graphic novella as part of our tenth-anniversary celebration. Of course, a big part of the project is finding the right collaborator to work with Greene, negotiating the space between one medium and another with creative vision and artistic generosity.
Check out our earlier post for specifics about Moth. To adapt the play, the artist must be available in May 2014. Pay is commensurate with experience, but we guarantee a minimum of $70 per page for a total of 56 pages (with color) on 60# paper in a 6 x 9 inch, perfect-bound book for a minimum print run of 1,250 copies. The fabulous finished product will be mailed to our subscribers (one of our “bonus mailings”) by November 2014.
We will choose the finalists through an audition process. Candidates will sketch a small portion of the play, and then Greene and our staff will select the rendering that seems the best fit for the material. If you are interested or know someone who may be, please email editors[at]cincinnatireview[dot]com.
Hello,
I’ve been an illustrator for over 20 years having worked in comics, children’s books and advertising. I’ve worked for companies such as: Marvel, D.C., Nick, Disney, Penguin, Hyperion, and Ringling Brothers. I’m friends with Mathew Pitt, who speaks very highly of you.
The above website is for my kid’s publishing/entertainment work. As I work in a myriad of styles, I can also supply PDF portfolios of other works if you need. However, I think you will see from the site that I can wear a lot of different hats.
Anyway, thank you for taking the time to consider me and my work,
-ks
P.S.
I was a Bearcat for a short period in the early nineties!
Thanks, Kevin, for throwing your hat in the ring. We’re working toward getting our May issue to the typesetter, but as soon as that’s done, we’ll turn our attention to finding the right illustrator for the project. So . . . we’ll be in touch then—likely mid-February. Thanks again!
Hey Guys,
My name is Jim Woglom, and I am a multimedia artist with little bit of experience with illustrating poems and a n interest in your project. My work has appeared on the cover of New South, in Unsplendid, The Journal of Adolescent and Adult Literacy, anthologies by Stylus Press and Rutledge, Teacher’s College Record, Harvard Education Review, Haiku Journal, Smokelong Quarterly, Hot Metal Bridge, the Journal of Teaching and Learning and Kappan Magazine. While my web presence is abysmal, I can easily send you some jpegs via e-mail to which address would work. Thank you so much for your consideration. Best,
Jim
