I have a friend who is not doing so good. He is in the middle of a divorce, can't see his children, and has lot most of his hope and faith in life. I am trying to get him interested in life again, and to do that I would love some help. He is a writer and is wanting to publish his book. However the website design really sucks, especially since the art that was used for the site before was drawn by his ex-wife and we don't want to toe the line for copyright issues.

So, to help out with marketing his book we are wanting to get some art for the site and possibly expand that to a solid pay deal if we like the artist enough. Initially all we are looking for is header, forum, and story graphics. These would be simple pictures of characters from the story used to pretty up the site to keep it visually appealing. We would love colored/CGed work. If that is not possible we will accept line art that we would the CG ourselves. This work would be without compensation, I am working but he is not so resources are tight at the moment.

If we like the work that we get from a particular artist we would be willing to seek a contract for art for products, a webcomic, and would be willing to host a website for the artist where the artist can post his/her own work. This would be compensated by the website (which you don't need to know anything about websites for, I can handle the technical details) and we would also arrange a percentage of the revenue for the merchandise and the site.

For those interested, the site is http://www.curseoftime.com and you can contact me here, via kalichondra@gmail.com, or on msn by paging dawn97303@msn.com.

Thank you in advance.
