children's mystery book middle grades illustrator
Budget: $750 – $1,500 USD
Need cover design--old, stately, creepy-looking Victorian style hotel, probably with 2 characters in foreground. Main character (12-year-old kid) in various poses such as in principal's office.In shed with stacked boxes and a rattler ready to strike. At a coke machine and turns around to see a menacing adult. His mother on the ground, building on fire in background, firefighter tending to mom, kid stares in horror. Trapped in an old abandoned well. Pulling a prank on a girl classmate.Etc. I have photos from the net that give an idea what I want. I am not an artist; I jokingly say I flunked art in kindergarten, so I rely heavily upon the advice and work of the illustrator. I will provide various scenes and tell what I have in mind BUT make it clear the illustrator can make a different selection if he/she feels it will make a better picture. Artist most certainly can work from home--anywhere. I'll need jacket cover plus no more than 10 illustrations
