The majority of members of the CLAW are professional illustrators who derive their income from the licensing of their work. You can visit their various websites and see whose style you think will best fit the project you have in mind. Then you can negotiate suitable up front and licensing agreements. Almost all of us have been approached at some time or other to work on a project with the promise or lure of a slice of the pie down the road. And to be brutally honest, it’s professionally unwise to consider such a venture without a written contract and some up-front compensation for the workload involved. I encourage you to come to the open swim and present details of the project. But, I would be remiss if did not respond quickly and very honestly to your query.

I have a challenge for the cartoonists too. I talked with Adam last Friday about it. My friend, Jim from Olympia, who drew the “How to eat an elephant” cartoon, is looking for a collaborator on a book he is writing, working title is “The Warehouse Chronicles”. I have some of the vignettes he’s written. If any of you are interested in doing some cartoons based on those, I can bring them to the Open Swim or send them via email if you contact me. Of course, you have to be willing to work for the glory and a piece of any future sales revenue! Let me know.

And I’m going to try and bring a cohort.
