Hello, folks! 

As the world's coolest studio/agency representing talents from all over the world, we are CONSTANTLY looking for new artists, painters, digital designers, and so on. How do you get our attention? It's easy: Send us your best stuff!

GUIDELINES FOR SAMPLES SENT VIA SNAIL MAIL

You can send your BEST SAMPLES to david@glasshousegraphics.com or snail mail copies of your samples, along with a self-addressed, stamped envelope for a reply, to GHG-USA address.

GLASS HOUSE GRAPHICS USA
109 North 18th Street Wheeling, WV 26003 USA

Include a self-addressed, stamped envelope AND an e-mail address if you expect a reply. Even if we E-Mail a response, we may have some material we wish to send to you.

When submitting your artwork or sample remember to send only the PHOTOCOPIES. 

DON'T SEND THE ORIGINAL ART

If you want the material returned, make sure your return envelope is BIG enough to accommodate the portfolio and has enough postage to cover the return plus some goodies from us (art samples, notes, script, whatever we might think will be helpful).

Put your full contact information on the back of EVERY PAGE, unless you don't want us to know who did the sample.

GUIDELINES FOR SAMPLES SENT VIA EMAIL

Send copies of artwork in JPEG format, 75dpi resolution.

GRAYSCALE color depth for penciled, inked or tonal illustrations.

RGB Color depth for COLORED artwork. 

(RGB color format is preferred for samples submitted because the files are smaller in size and are intended for viewing and evaluation only. CMYK color mode is used for COLORING the artworks and for print.)   

FILE NAMING

Art files sent via email or any electronic means should have UNIQUE names.

Avoid using generic filenames like image01.jpg, It will be hard for us to search for files when you make inquiries.

Try sending files named like these:

Lui01Lara0929.jpg

where Lui is the name of the Artist,

where 01 is the page number of sequenced art submitted by the artist,

where Lara is the description of the artwork,

where 0929 is the month and date the artwork was submitted.

Avoid having filenames longer than 16 characters. file extensions should be in LOWERCASE.

Here are helpful tips for aspiring artists, writers, colorists, letterers and graphic designers in gearing their portfolio for preparation in breaking in the industry.
