Hi Folks,
Just want to shout out huge thank you for the MASSIVE response to my commission offer forum.deviantart.com/jobs/offe….
I am carefully reviewing every portfolio - a pretty cool way to spend days and evenings! My five cats are just as captivated as I am by the magnificence unfolding on my computer screen every time I open a gallery.
It's going to take a couple more days to catch up with all the replies, so please bear with me. When you receive a thank you reply on the forum or a reply to your note, it means I have reviewed your work with the attention every committed artist deserves. Our team is getting together on 26 October to make our final decision. I will let everyone know soon after that and will be announcing our choice here, as well.
Please don't feel discouraged if you miss out this time around. I am seeing a lot of wonderful work that is simply not the right style and fit for this project. The good news is that our company intends to commission art for at least 10 more books over the next few months, and we will be looking for art in a variety of styles to fit very different stories, genres, and potential readers. I am already noticing artists whose style could be the right fit for other projects we have slated.
Thank you again for your patience!
Jenn

Stunning Cover Art from Michael Brack
Michael Brack http://michaelbrack.deviantart.com/ created the drop-dead-gorgeous cover art featured to the left for my company. The Buried Door http://www.amazon.com/Buried-Door-Remedy-Loame/dp/1939505003/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1355337752&sr=1-1&keywords=The+Buried+Door is the first book in the Marrowmire trilogy by Remedy Loame http://remedyloame.com/_/Welcome.html.
We commissioned Michael for this project because his creepy storybook style was perfect for the book. As you can see, he created an exceptional cover image for us and our in-house designer added beautiful typography. Michael is also working on a set of internal B&W illu

Happy Thanksgiving to my friends in the USA! The holiday slowed us down some, and my team and I will be meeting to make decisions about our two latest offers ( http://forum.deviantart.com/jobs/offers/1799565 and http://forum.deviantart.com/jobs/offers/1802009/ ) over the next few days. I'm still reviewing portfolios and responding to notes. A big thank you to everyone who applied - I have over 300 portfolios to consider. You can imagine how difficult it is to choose when there is so much talent out there.
Michael Brack ( http://michaelbrack.deviantart.com/) has turned in some amazing preliminary sketches for our TRILOGY project and I
ANNOUNCING ARTIST HIRE - TRILOGY PROJECT V.1
First a huge thank you to the 209 talented artists who applied for my recent offer http://forum.deviantart.com/jobs/offers/1793304/ . As you can imagine, with this wealth of DA talent, it was a very tough decision, and my team took the time to carefully consider the portfolios of everyone who applied.
I am excited to announce the artist we've contracted is Michael Brack. The creepy storybook style of Michael's color and B&W illustrations were a perfect fit for our project, and we love his work so much that we've added additional illustrations to the commission.

Trilogy Project Volume 1 applications closed
Hi Deviants,
Applications have now closed for my job offer http://forum.deviantart.com/jobs/offers/1793304/ . Everyone who applied before closing time will be considered and will receive a reply. Between the forum and personal notes, a total of 209 artists applied, so please bear with me - it's going to take some time to respond personally to everyone.
I am honored and humbled that so many talented Deviants were interested and excited about our first project. It's hard to reach out to a potential client and share your work, especially if you miss out. We all know the knock-backs aren't personal, but it's hard to be in a business where they
