Clemson Lam did the beautiful watercolor landscapes you'll see in #Pistolheart. He's also responsible for the best contract language I've ever written.
He had a very unique request when it came to payment to license his paintings.

I'm on the hunt for artists/illustrators that specialise in landscapes and scenery, or who love drawing nature! 🌷🏞️🌳
I'd especially love to hear from BIPOC artists, but this is an open call! Self promo welcome, please comment with examples/portfolio links if possible ☺️

It was “The Call of the Deep” but “Visions in the Water” might be better.

Sam and I went back and forth on this many times on this. In the beginning it was clientele (rich, middle-class, poor). And through multiple iterations it ended with Wealth Rating. Every location in Nomas will have such design to make life easy for the director.
