An Introduction to 202 Children's Art Illustrators



Illustrators, we invite you to be included in a new
book being published in December:

The Art Concierge's Introduction to 202 Children's Art Illustrators

The Story Concierge, LLC dba The Art Concierge and The Story Art Gallery are teaming together to
create
The Art Concierge's Introduction to 202 Children's Art Illustrators.

The book will include a short introduction of the illustrators which is geared toward art directors
and editors at professional companies that routinely work with children's art illustrators. The
introduction will also contain a brief section for non-professionals about the benefits of working
with professional illustrators to commission book art or individual paintings (while yet warning
individuals that for commercial book projects most companies want to choose their own
illustrator).

Each illustrator will be profiled in one-page portfolio listing that includes 4, 9, 12 or 16 images of
their work, their contact information, and a brief professional description of the illustrator. Each
illustrator also has the option of adding additional page(s) of images. To see a mock-up sample of
illustrator listings in the book

Marketing of the Book

  • The book will be mailed (at no cost) to art directors and marketing directors at 1,000
    companies in the United States that utilize the services of children’s art illustrators.
    Examples of companies include toy makers, greeting card companies, zoos and children's
    hospitals.

  • The book will also be mailed to 100+ art directors and editors managing children’s book
    projects at publishing houses.

  • The book will additionally be mailed to 50+ art directors and editors managing children’s
    magazines.

  • The book will also be a featured part of our retail art gallery, The Story Art Gallery, opening
    in early 2010. Beautiful Sausalito is visited by approximately 2 million people a year who
    are drawn to Sausalito’s artwork and scenic waterfront vistas.

  • The book will also be available on Amazon.com and similar websites.

  • Each illustrator's name and one thumbnail illustration will also be listed throughout the
    year on the Art Concierge's website.
