Hi Barbara,
I was happy to see your call in time before it is closed, and I would like to express my serious interest for your series of book project. I'm a traditionally educated artist and I've been working as an illustrator for many years, lately mostly on children's books. I prefer to work old-school, with as little digital tools as possible. If you are interested in traditional, handcrafted from scratch art for your books, I'd be happy to discuss details over chat, via skype or email. I normally charge between 70 and 150 usd per illustration, and the quote I offer now is per page for the entire series. I can offer variety of traditional media and virtually any style you'd like. You can check few samples of my recent commissioned work in the portfolio section, but I'd happily send more samples or prepare a simple test illustrations if more convenient.
I sincerely hope to hear from you,
kind regards,
Dusica
