Awful is only a word. The reality is much, much worse.
I'm the marketing guy for a company that sells industrial tools.
We sell to oil and gas, mining, big machinery stuff.

We have a guy-centric brand, tough guy stuff. We like skulls, metal, girls in our graphics.

The look is very stuck in the 90s hair-metal kind of feel, but we embrace it.

I'm looking for illustrators to do our t-shirt designs.
We do a minimum of 4 shirt designs a year, usually 6 or more.

I need someone that has good detail, nice line work, and can turn things around quickly.
You also need to be flexible with your designs, our owner loves to make little changes to things.

We're looking for a good skull design for the first one. Here's some designs I grabbed from the internet just to give you an idea of what kind of detail I'm looking for.
(We're looking for the skull to be included in some graphic line treatment, tattoo line work sort of stuff)




I prefer Illustrator, am fine with hi-resolution Photoshop, and am willing to consider ink or natural media if you have the proper equipment to get me a very good digital copy of it.

I'm not looking for somebody to go to istock and grab some vector files and mash them together.

Payment will be fixed price, not per hour. Couple hundred bucks per illustration.

PM me some samples of your work or send to marketing at torcup dot com.

It's just a drawing of a skull. I'm not asking anyone to do furry rape porn.

If you want to make 200 for a drawing contact me. If you want to protest our heinous objectification of women contact our PR department. It's the same email.

Awful is only a word. The reality is much, much worse.
I argue with my boss all the time about how to pay freelancers. But I don't get to make final decisions on money.

It's weird to be in a position where my job requires me to hire freelancers in a way that would have pissed me off when I was freelancing. I'm making progress, he's slowly agreeing to better deals with outside artists. But it is slow going.

I freelanced for 10 years, and there were times when I would have been the guy making the snarky reply to my post, railing against the idiot trying to hire a freelancer at a fixed rate. There were also times that I'd jump at a chance to make some money, wether the work was annoying or not.
