Watercolour Illustrator Required

I have a requirement for somewhere between 50 - 80 A5 watercolour illustrations of various breeds of poultry. These will be used to illustrate a smallholder’s guide to keeping and raising poultry.

As such I will require that, as well as the illustrations themselves, I will acquire all rights to own, reproduce and market the images produced when each illustration is approved and payment completed.

In return I will grant the illustrator(s) the right to keep on file an electronic copy for use in their own portfolio and for use in marketing their expertise. I also agree to credit (where appropriate) the name of the illustrator (such as on the catalogue page of any book) but not necessarily identifying the illustration(s) specifically.

I require that each bid be accompanied by an example piece of work that closely resembles the specification below. Ideally it would be very good if each bidder produced an example to the specification below of a pair of Light Sussex Chickens with 3 chicks.

In view of the size and scope of the project, I may be required to release work to more than one illustrator. I have a 3 month timescale in mind for completion of all the illustrations, but there is considerable flexibility on this. Please specify in your bid the timescales for production of 1, 10, 25 and 50 images and your preference for quantities (i.e. All, 50, 25 etc)

I will provide all assistance necessary in providing multiple photographs of all subjects.

Each bid is to be priced per illustration.

I will be happy to make payments based on the delivery of each illustration to allow the project to progress smoothly and to allow illustrators to receive payments promptly.

I will cover the cost of postage of the completed illustrations by registered delivery.

Any bid which does not conform to the above will be rejected. If I have to reject a bid I will endeavour to explain why so that the bid can be modified and resubmitted.

Please read the detailed specifications below carefully before bidding.
