Hey yo, looking to hire an artist to do some pictures for a poem I’m intending to publish as something that looks and feels like a children’s book but isn’t. Would be a reasonable payment up front plus some negotiated % back end (if any ever exists - take the gig for the up-front cash and the permission to show the work in a portfolio).

Looking like about 13 verses, 1 - 3 pictures per verse as needed to tell the story, color.

Few sample verses, all still WIP:

(Meant to be sung to the tune of one of the simpler variations of Mozart’s 'Ah,vous dirai-je, maman' K.265 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjXEeA-8FBE)

ONCE THERE WAS THE BRAVEST KNIGHT SWORD AND ARMOR SHINING BRIGHT TRUE OF WORD AND PURE OF DEED NAÏVE TO HIS FRIEND’S DARK GREED ONCE THERE WAS THE BRAVEST KNIGHT BETRAYED AND CORNERED, FORCED TO FIGHT

STEEL AND FLESH AND BLOOD AND TEARS TO KILL OR DIE BOTH EQUAL FEARS MATCHED IN SKILL, BUT FATE DID KNOW THE KNIGHT WOULD STRIKE A KILLING BLOW HIS BROTHER FELLED, AND CLOSE TO DEATH SAVE MY SON, HIS FINAL BREATH
