paleonet Need more art

[Dinogeorge@xxxxxxx]

Artist response to my original notice on the educational dinosaur book series 
has been quite good, and we now have practically all the art we need for the 
Tyrannosaurus volume, the first in the series. But we still need lots of 
artwork for the remaining books in the series:

[2] Iguanodon (and other ornithopods)
[3] Triceratops (and other ceratopians)
[4] Velociraptor (and other small theropods)
[5] Stegosaurus (and other armored dinosaurs)
[6] Diplodocus (and other sauropods)

We need exciting, reasonably accurate and anatomically correct artwork that
depicts the above very well known animals doing things: hunting, eating,
sleeping, herding, fighting, mating, preening, and so forth. We can also use
similar artwork depicting dinosaurs that are more or less closely related to
the title dinosaurs, because part of each text will be devoted to the
relationships of the title dinosaurs. Each book will feature dinosaur art by
many different artists in many different styles. We may be able to use
anatomical art; let us know what you have available.

Art should be full-color, in square or vertically rectangular format. No
double-page spreads are planned: one or two pictures (usually one) will
appear per page. We do not seek to commission new artwork. Rather, we seek
second rights to illustrations that may (or may not) already have been
published elsewhere. It takes a lot of art to fill six 32-page books, so we
would like to see lots of works, anything and everything you've got that fits
the above specs. We expect to use about 150 illustrations after the smoke
clears.

If you have dinosaur art you can sell second rights to, as per the above
specs, or if you know of an artist who might, please contact Howard Zimmerman
at Byron Preiss Visual Publications at your earliest convenience by email at

cmdrzim@aol.com

He will provide further details on the project and what we need once you have
contacted him. Right now we don't know who will contribute artwork, but we do
expect pieces from big-name dinosaur artists, so up-and-coming dinosaur
artists will find their work in good company. We also need to find cover art
for the books as quickly as possible, so mention art you'd like considered
for the covers to Howard. Howard will forward interesting artwork to me, so
it will pass through at least a two-person selection sieve before acceptance.

If you have questions, contact me off list by email, of course.
