コンテスト概要

I'm looking to self publish a book of poems for middle schoolers, in which the subjects are younger kids having common experiences - like getting scared by a clown at a birthday party. I need a proper, written and signed intellectual property assignment agreement along with roughly 30-40 illustrations. The cover of the book would need to be designed, too.

Clarification: I'm looking for black and white images, ink is preferred but not required for consideration. The cover can be color. I don't want to see clip art. If you want to show me your existing work, that's fine, but I want it to be applicable to some degree.

The title is:
POEMS FOR YOUR INNER CHILD
(that kids might like, too)

by Josh Walters

Poems will be attached in a Word Document that will be updated:

Coulrophobia

At first, it had been the usual crowd:

playmates and parents, none causing concern.

Then an interloper who was too loud

made Brett’s birthday party take a sharp turn.

He rolled on a bike with only one wheel,

honking his red nose like it was a horn.

Brett honestly didn’t know how to feel.

What did this have to do with being born?

Baffled discomfort welled up in Brett's throat

while the painted invader tossed round balls.

The alien orbs seemed to dance and float

and all the parents chimed in with catcalls.

The adults tried to keep things lighthearted,

telling the tots they should be having fun.

Brett wasn’t sure when the chaos started,

maybe all the kids just stopped being stunned.

Was it Brett who was the first to let loose,

or was it his baby sister Mary?

The spell broken, the kids had an excuse

to admit the freaky man was scary.

The playroom filled with the shrill sound of shrieks

from a collection of panicked toddlers.

Though the big red grin remained on his cheeks,

the man's eyes looked like the crowd was bonkers.

Soon, Brett’s mom spoke to the creepy weirdo,

after which he took a permanent break.

The kids' fearful tears continued to flow

until it was time for ice cream and cake.

So I understand my drawings are not what you are after. Is it the style of pen and ink? Or is it just too thick of lines in comparison to the computer drawings of other artists? Or just my actual art style? Please help me out here, so I can adjust them to accommodate what you are after. Thanks

Also, what is the timeline for the balance of the illustrations that you are wanting completed?

  I would say it'll probably be 1-2 months, since I'm going to add some to the total of poems.

I know you are after black and white illustrations, but are you wanting straight b&w line art or will you accept grey tones as well?

The proposal for this contest is to make the cover of the book and the illustration for the messy party with the clown and the winner does the rest of the work or should we do all the illustrations?

  well, the "prize" would be for doing all of the illustrations - this is my first time using freelancer so I'm not sure I set this up correctly. With that said, I'll let people know if they're not what I'm looking for after seeing some of their work, such as with the clown.

Hello how are you, the language of the illustration must be childish, dramatic, terrifying ...

  somewhat cartoonish, black and white, child-focused, humorous or touching, depending on the poem
