Genius Circuit is looking for experienced, diverse, flexible and very talented children's book illustrators.

We are looking for beautiful art and we have a fun, positive environment that fosters and encourages our artists. Submissions: please provide us samples from your portfolio or provide us to a link to your portfolio, or your submission will not be reviewed, no exceptions. Please READ below: General Description: We are looking for artists who can think outside the box, can really push their art and most importantly can provide excellent direction (i.e. be an art director) for the art. You must be imaginative, be highly creative, a perfectionist, and be extremely passionate about what you do. We have several projects and we are only looking for professionals who can stick to a schedule and to deadlines. Note: This story is done completely at night (outside in a park) and so you must be great with light/shadow/darkness. Art Style(s): The style must be very similar to one of the below links, and you must be able to do so effectively. Note: you may also submit your own style - and we encourage it.
