Description
My French Bulldog, Barnaby Le French, has written some children books. Yes, I know it may be hard to believe, but it is true nonetheless… you’ll just have to trust me on this.
I am a member of The Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators, and am attending their big conference in mid November. I know…that’s just around the corner!
So Barnaby’s illustrations in his books are predominantly collage style, that he and I created with bits we found all over the place. Obviously I did the glueing and cutting etc because of his opposable thumb issues.
Our idea is to have the pictures as collage but with Barnaby as an illustrated character. And that is why we have approached you.
Time is of the essence and we are looking for that person that just ‘gets it’.
I’ve tested out a few illustrators but no one has been able to create a memorable brilliant Barnaby Le French.
Okay so if you are keen to submit a proposal for Barnaby Le French here is a bit more about him…
Imagine if Lassie and Snoopy had a one night stand, Barnaby Le French would be their love child. He has the kindness and compassion of Lassie, but the cockiness and mischief of Snoopy.
Barnaby is a ‘blue' French Bulldog, and we want his character to be a bright electric blue. He has an enormous square-ish head, giant bat ears and a smile that is bigger than the Jokers in Batman…I kid you not. Emphasis/exaggeration has to be on the very big head, giant size ears and squashed in face. He also has the toned physique of Vin Diesel.
I’ve only approached UK illustrators because if we like your work I think it’s essential you meet Barnaby to connect with him and understand exactly who he is.
I’m happy to send you photos of Barnaby and examples of VERY ROUGH artwork for pictures. You can get a feel for his character on his instagram - Barnabylefrench.
Would you be interested in working on a proposal? Coming up with a few ideas to see if we click?

from the questions asked by others so far, you seem to be looking for 15 to 20 drawings of Barnaby in different expressions as well as the main design, making a total of around 21 illustrations. Is this correct?
Saskia L.18 Sep 2016Give or take yes.
If you are interested I would just need to see a rough sketch of your vision of Barnbaby from the description in proposal. -
