CALLING ALL DRAGON ARTISTS!

Hi Dragons of Nibiru fans,

I imagine many of you are excited about the holiday season. I hope it’s your best yet!
Remember when I mentioned I would be seeking illustrations from readers of all ages, for the third and fourth books in my series? Well, the time has arrived; I need those illustrations!

How to Submit an Illustration
The best way to send me your illustrations is by email. Just scan them or take a photo of them and email them to me: lorna@lornajcarleton.com.

What I’m Looking For
I’m most interested in images of characters from the stories, of course. A character or characters in action, or in an interesting location or scene, or a portrait of your favorite character. (Or the one you dislike the most; there are plenty of bad guys to choose from!) 

From among the images you submit, I’ll choose: 

1. Ones that I feel best suit the stories
2. Ones that inspire me in some fashion - make me want to sing, dance, write another book, or even just smile
3. Ones that I just plain love, and want to share with all my readers 😊

Of course, if I know me (and we are rather well acquainted, me and I), many, many of the works you submit will fit under one or more of those categories; especially number 3. That means I have a tough job ahead, because there has to be room in the books for a little text, too. You know how it is with stories.

Here are a few more categories I’ll be looking at. I’d like to feature at least one of each:  

1. Drawings or paintings by young people, up to age 12
2. Drawings or paintings by slightly older people, between 12 and 25
3. Drawings or paintings by people 25 and up.
4. Child-and-parent or child-and-grandparent collaborations.
5. Sibling collaborations.

Along with scans or photos of the illustrations themselves, I’d be delighted to see photos of the artist(s) holding their work. I’d like to post such photos on my blog, if you’ll grant me permission to do so. 😊
Once I’ve chosen the illustrations I’d like to include in the books, I’ll contact the artist(s) to arrange to purchase their work.

So, please: fire up your creativity and give me a hand – and give readers of books 3 and 4 a treat.
Happy drawing!!

Lorna
