How to order illustrations from a freelance artist
Locate an artist to discuss your needs with.
You may find one through telephone book listings, advertisements, or through friends who have contacts with one.
Select an artist who does work similar to what you want.
If the need is for fliers or brochures, you wouldn't go to a classical portrait artist. You may go to a graphic design studio, or to a freelancer who specializes in artwork similar to what you require.
