Artist FAQs
The No Bones for Halftones event was made for 3 reasons.
1. Fun
2. You, The Artists and Designers
3. The Community
We want to have fun and promote you, the artists and designers.
Q. What do we need to do for the design?
A. Provide us with 1 design, single color. It must be 12×12 or smaller. Please make something new for the event. It can be any file type or if you want, draw something on white paper and mail it. We don’t care how you get it to us, just get us something before the due date.
Q. Do the sickers need to be the design?
A. No, and we’d frown on that.. People love free stuff. So if you have a drawing or a website you like to promote, send us something (again, single color, preferably in .eps format) and we will make it. The best part is whatever we make, half goes back to you. Everyone gets free stickers. Got a business or freelance design website? Promote it. Got a cool logo or a silly picture you would like to see on the back of a car? Send it to us.
Q. Do we have to hang artwork?
A. If you have some, yes! This is to promote YOU, the artist. If you are a designer, bring business cards or make poster prints to frame and sell. All of you artists have something to hang… We want you to be seen and make money so take advantage of the wallspace and hang some work!
Q. Why the contract? I don’t understand it…
A. The contracts are to cover each other. It simply states that 1. you keep your image. We will only use it to promote the event and make clothes with it that night. 2. We will be selling any leftover donated clothing to recoup cost and benefit the charities listed. You will not get a percentage of sale as it is to cover the cost of the event. 3. If you do decide to hang work (which you really, really should) the Red Sea and NBFH is not responsible for damaged work. Be there and watch your stuff just in case. All you need to do is type your name (or add a scanned signature) to the contract and email it back. That simple.
Q. What if I can’t make the due dates?
A. We understand here at NBFH that the deadlines are tight. Due to the nature of the event in regards to setting screens and advertising, we need to stay on schedule. If you cannot make any dates set (such as your artist intro page, contracts, or final works) Let us know as soon as possible. If we do not hear from you/set up someway to work out a schedule, we will be forced to drop you and get another artist to replace the spot.
We hope everyone comes and has a good time. We can’t stress enough that this is for you, the artists and designers, so please take advantage of it and let us get your names out there.
