Artist Wanted

[rolanni]

Frequent auditors of this journal will have seen that there is a Plan Afoot for t-shirts bearing the legends “Ride the Carousel at Archers Beach.” It has been said, and I couldn’t agree more, that it would be Absolutely Awesome if a bat-wing horse could be included as part of the art (I’m envisioning the words in a circle, the batwing horse in the center).

Does anyone with mad art or Photoshop skillz have time to produce such a graphic? Talk to me.

Yes. This is something that I, together with a friend, can do for you. What kind of turn-around do you need?

[rolanni.livejournal.com]

That's a good question. I don't have a deadline, having just, what, two days ago? decided to take the Archers Beach t-shirt idea off the shelf again and see if there was any interest. I'd like to be able to offer people t-shirts this summer, so...art by mid/late-May sound doable to you?

If that's absurd, let me know.

[drammar.livejournal.com]

Not absurd -- for the latter part of May. If you have a specific carousel horse image you'd like us to work from just let me know, otherwise we'll just let imagination take flight. (Pun fully intended).

Also, let me know which email address to send first takes to -- I have several on file for you. You can reach me still at pmreuss AT verizon DOT com

Dragon-winged carousel horses

Here are some reference photos I found when searching way back when...

...and one that I didn't find until just now that's really cool...

FYI: A "gray" horse, as in the story, is any shade from "not-black" down to a non-albino white. (The only "white" horses are albino.)

Like Lippizzans ?

Good luck! No possible way I could devote the time to generate the artwork, although all the elements are available.

I love the bat wing horse. Hope the wonderful commenters can produce a suitable design. Just sign me right up.

I could do it, as I don't have any commissioned projects at the moment. :) I love horses as well.
If you'd like to look at some examples of my work, I have a store at www.zazzle.com/AbstractRealm

Thank you so very much for the offer!

We've got somebody on the case for this project, but who knows what we might take it into our minds to do down the road? (Yeah, not even us...)

A "Carousel" t-shirt?
I *want*!

[maiaarts.livejournal.com]

I could be a back up artist for any art you wish
www.maia-arts.com I would love to help with any art for two of my favorite authors! I have done some fan art for Kat Richardson - even to designing t-shirts for her. It would be an honor to help any time in the future

Thank you so very much.
