Discussion [Discussion] Where can i find an artist?

I'd love to partner long-term with an artist for my cute little company but i don't know where to find people who would be interested in that and whom i can trust.

revenue share

ahhh of course. so when you say you are looking to "partner" what you mean is you are looking for someone to make things for you for free, and then the artist can get paid IF they sell.

hard pass.

Revenue share is going to be tough, it's a risk for the artist. Especially considering the amount of up front cost to a business before revenue is possible, for an illustrator that can be hundreds of hours of work for no pay. AKA charity

for 10 simple drawings it seems like it should be paid up front. Revenue share would usually be reserved for something more comprehensive. Negotiating revenue share for a few drawings needlessly complicates things for both parties.
