I am looking to commission an illuminator or similar artist to
produce 5 or 6 works similar to the following:

Format will be 8.5" X 11"

The artist must be able to provide examples of past similar work.

Please cross-post or distribute this message as you are able.

Thanks!

Reproductions of existing work or original pieces done is this style?

Steve I would be willing to give it a try. I could paint a sample based of your example this week.

"What kind of media?

Paper is fine.

"Reproductions of existing work or original pieces done is this style?"

I am looking for pieces very similar to the example I provided, and I will provide others as well. They need not be exact copies, but the closer the better.

"what is the time table?"
I'm flexible. I don't know how long is typical. I'm guessing a couple of months?
