Rob Brezsny, writer of the gorgeous Free Will Astrology and the universe-affirming book, Pronoia Is the Antidote for Paranoia: How the Whole World Is Conspiring to Shower You with Blessings is looking for artists. He posted the following bulletin in his weekly email:
"ATTENTION ARTISTS . . .
I'm looking for artwork to illustrate my future books and CDs, and I'd like
to consider using yours. Tell me where to view your work by sending me
an email: sacreduproar at sbcglobal dot net.
I'm interested in two kinds of work:
1. full-color images that would work well as covers for my books and CDs.
To see what my previous covers look like, go to the pages below; click on
the image to bring up a bigger version.

2. black-and-white line drawings or collages for illustrations inside the
books and CDs. To see how I've done this in the past, go here:

If I decide to use your work for the cover of one of my books or CDs, I'll
pay you $500.
What I pay for black-and-white illustrations inside the book will depend on
how many I use and other factors.
I prefer to view your work on a web page, so optimally you will send me a
URL where I can go to gaze upon your creations. You could also email me
.jpgs.
What imagery do I like? What am I looking for? I don't necessarily know
(surprise me!), but I am drawn to neo-primitive, archetypal imagery that
blends ancient myth and future revelation.
I won't be able to respond to all inquiries, but will reply only to those
whose art I think might work for me. Please don't take it personally if I
don't choose yours. Of all the great art out there, only a small proportion
will be right for my needs.
Thanks for giving me a chance to see your stuff!"
Thought some of you might be interested.
Oh Robby Rob Rob Rob... I think I love thee in thy interactivity.
