- Strong familiarity with graphic design software, especially Adobe Photoshop or similar applications.
- A keen eye for artistic details and an understanding of comic art styles.
- Ability to replicate various artistic styles and techniques to ensure consistency throughout the artwork.
- Excellent time management skills and the ability to meet tight deadlines.
- Good communication skills to collaborate effectively with the translation and typesetting teams.

Why This Role Is Essential:

We are seeking a skilled and refined landscape or plein air artist to create a live painting during a luxury real estate groundbreaking event in Fredericksburg, Texas in early May.

Project Details:

Event Date: Early May (exact date to be confirmed)

Location: Fredericksburg, Texas

Duration On-Site: Approximately 4–5 hours

Scope: One main painting (ideally completed or near-complete by the end of the event)

Subject: An artistic rendering of the future development on-site. We can provide high-quality architectural renderings in advance for reference.

Ideal Candidate:

Experience with live painting at weddings, public events, or plein air settings

Skilled in landscape or architectural painting styles

Professional demeanor and comfortable working in front of guests

Ability to bring their own supplies and easel/station setup

Preferably based in Texas or willing to travel to Fredericksburg (travel costs can be discussed)

Deliverables:

One original painting (canvas or paper, to be agreed upon in advance)

We’d love to collaborate with someone who understands the balance of artistry and atmosphere — creating something that celebrates both the natural beauty of the Texas Hill Country and the forward-looking vision of our development.

Hey! I'm Sean, the co-founder of Tantos—a chef-crafted, puffed pasta chip brand born out of a love for snacks and a lot of grit. I’m currently writing a blog series called Behind the Bag that shares the real, raw, behind-the-scenes journey of building Tantos from the ground up. Think: investor updates, trade show chaos, production wins, and pasta-fueled hustle.

What I’m Looking For
I’m looking for a freelance illustrator to help me bring these blog posts to life—one illustration per post, in a style that feels modern, playful, bold, and clean. You'll help visually translate the tone and spirit of each story with engaging, thoughtful art that’s tailored for both Instagram and LinkedIn.

The Ideal Fit:

You have a strong portfolio of editorial or blog-style illustrations

You can match a consistent brand tone across multiple pieces

You're comfortable with flat-style digital illustration and character-driven storytelling

You’re collaborative, responsive, and able to turn feedback into tighter work

Bonus: You’re interested in startups, food, or storytelling!

Responsibilities:

Read each blog post (700–900 words) and translate the concept into one bold, eye-catching illustration

Design with Instagram and LinkedIn in mind (format: 1080x1350 vertical preferred)

Match the visual tone we’ve already established (reference will be provided)

Turn around drafts and final versions on an agreed timeline

Deliverables:

1 high-resolution PNG per blog post (1080x1350)

Editable file (AI, PSD, or layered SVG preferred)

Optional: cropped horizontal version for LinkedIn banners or blog headers

Illustrator Needed for Whimsical Romantic Love Story

Payment method not verified

Hi! I’m looking to hire a talented illustrator to bring my love story to life through a sequence of 8–10 illustrations. The artwork will be displayed at our wedding and potentially used in a printed book or digital slideshow.

This is not a comic or realism project — I want a whimsical, romantic, slightly abstract style. Think emotionally expressive, dreamy, warm, and unique to your artistic voice. The illustrations should feel like poetic visual moments, not hyper-detailed portraits. Watercolor textures, soft edges, muted or warm tones, and expressive compositions are all welcome. Characters can be loosely based on us (not detailed likenesses) — it’s more about mood, color, energy, and storytelling.

What I need:

- 8–10 standalone illustrations that together tell the story of our relationship — from childhood proximity to the wedding day.
- Each illustration represents a key moment (e.g. meeting at a party, falling in love, proposal, travel memories).
- You’ll receive a full breakdown of the scenes and visual direction.
- I’m open to your creative interpretation within the tone we’re looking for.

Ideal candidate:

- Experience with narrative or sequential art
- A dreamy, emotionally rich, expressive illustration style
- Great communication and openness to a collaborative process
- Comfortable with either digital or hand-drawn mediums

Budget:

I don’t have a fixed number in mind and am open to discussing a fair rate based on your experience and the scope of your work. Please feel free to share your pricing or ask any questions— I’d love to collaborate on a fee that works for both of us.

Timeline:
Ideally completed by May 19th, with drafts along the way.

If this speaks to you, please share your portfolio (especially relevant story or romantic work). I’d love to find someone who connects with the story and brings their own magic to it!

Good
I am releasing a poetry book and I want to make art pieces for the poetry book. I'm open to all art formats to accomplish my goal. I'll attach some concepts that I like.

I AM NOT OPEN TO AI ART! If you submit, I will not choose you.

WILL HIRE TODAY.
