does anyone know of any famous or well known artist that are known for going against regular art and went with their own creativity?

I've written a children's story book called Sleepy Hebe and I want to find an illustrator. I love Mick Inkpen's work, so that's the sort of style I think would suit (especially the cat in "Nothing" - that's perfect). Can anyone help, either by putting me in touch with an illustrator they know, or pointing me at a website or something similar for aspiring illustrators? The book is aimed at the under 4s, and, I think has great merchandising opportunities, as it's the first of an intended series

To any designers: How did you get your first design job and how did you get past the "2 years experience" barrier?

Before I begin learning to paint with oil and/or acrylic, does anyone know the real drying times? Books I've read (acrylic) say fast, pretty fast, really fast and so on.
Thanks,

I am making a calendar, and would like it to be pretty high quality, something that people will actually want to hang on their wall...but NOT expensive to print...are there printers that will print about 15-20 copies of the calendar for a reasonable price? Is this even possible to do? If NOT, how else could I print it, to make it look professional, without using a printing company?
FINALLY! Are there any computer programs/downloads that are programs specifically made for designing calendars OR that have a calendar layout... thanks :)

I'm a beginner so I'm not sure. Which is easier to handle etc.?

Is it possible to mix your own gouache? I have watercolours at home so could I add something - maybe toothpaste - to create a homemade gouache?

I own a Kodak CX-7500 camera, which has been a great camera. My pictures are very clear, but the colors are just sort of normal. It's sorta like the Claritin commercial, where the picture looks clear, until that clear cover thing is lifted and all of the colors appear brighter. Nothing is wrong with my camera; I just want to make my colors look brighter, more like the pictures of beaches in travel magazines. I don't know a lot about photography, but I think it probably has something to do with color saturation. Am I right? Anyways, are there settings I can change on my camera to make the colors look brighter, or are there programs I can use that will improve the color of pictures I have already taken? My camera doesn't take different lenses, so that won't work. Any suggestions?

I was just curious to see what other artists do to earn a living... especially those who are doing well with their art.
A lot of artists seem to end up teaching...I'm sure that most of them enjoy teaching but do you think that for some of them they just do it because it's hard to make a living as an artist?

I've got stuff like exposure, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, positions of holding the camera steady.....is there anything else I could talk about?? The speech should be around 5-10 minutes.

In the opening credits and in a couple scenes there are various comic book type art pieces with a dot matrix effect surrounding them or in them. For instance a woman spraying a can of hairspray. What type of art is that called? Or is it a specific artist? PLEASE HELP ! It is driving me crazy !

You ever just go off in a completely different direction for whatever reasons? You ever try to tackle a subject matter just for the experience of trying something different?
