Freelance Opportunity
Passed along by our friend Kerry Talbott from his friend Louise Seals:
“I need a poster for Richmond Tree Stewards Arbor Day celebration. Our theme is There’s Treasure in Trees, and we are using a treasure hunt approach to publicity. We were thinking of perhaps a stylized treasure map with the 4 locations of our events — one each Saturday in April: Forest Hill Park, Carillon, Bryan Park and Capitol Square. Sending people to our Web site for all the details is a key element. Would you be interested in doing this? Would you be willing to give us a break on the price or even consider pro bono (not required, though)? We would need it in the next 10 days, or sooner if possible.”
If you are interested, please contact richmond.illustrators@gmail.com and we will put you in touch with Kerry, who will connect you with Louise. *Please note the quick turnaround.*
VSU adjunct instructor position available!
Heads up – anyone interested in teaching at a university level:
VSU is currently looking for an illustrator to teach two freshmen courses next semester. The Art&Design department is expanding to accomodate the ever-increasing freshmen class, and we’re being fitted with new digs (a new building!). We have a section of 2-Dimensional design (color, line and shape, and image-focused) and a section of Drawing 1 (self-explanatory). 2-D design is in the afternoon, Drawing 1 at night making it so the qualified candidate would only need to come to campus on Monday and Wednesdays.
If your are interested in this awesome opportunity, please contact Meena Khalili.
