A little background. I've gone and done it and saved up a little $$$ to hire an artist to illustrae one of my stories.
I sent the guy this e-mail...
............................................................Hello my name is T*** ******** (My e-mail address is my pen name.) I would like to inquire if you'd be interested in doing one or two illustrations for a short web-fiction I'm writing. The reason why I ask is I've seen your adds at the Gold's Gym off of NW Maynard, and I was very impressed with how you do the female form.
Now I have to warn you- the story will be posted on an Erotic Fiction site called the BE-Archive. If the job interests you feel free to e-mail me your rates for both colored and black & white illustrations. If you prefer to discuss terms of contract over the phone my # is.
............................................................
So if you were an artist and you got this e-mail how serious would you take it?
Many thanks for any info...
Many thanks,
Todd Davidson
