Tigress, that's unfortunate. I know there is always a lot of uncertainty in deals like these, and many people don't know how to run their businesses that well. I'm hoping for a good outcome, though! Lisa, thanks - I love playing with toned paper. :D Thanks, people!

What a coincidence, I was going to possible get a children's book job but me and a bunch of other artists bids were rejected all because the book author could not make up her mind of bidding price range. Would have been an awesome job. :( Oh well the person probably wouldn't have been nice to work with any how if she treats the illustrators like they're not worth diddaly squat. That turned out really nice.

Casey, they haven't worked together before, but one of them has self-published a few children's books. I forgive them their lack of experience in that area, and they forgive mine. I figured as long as they're willing to sign a contract and pay up front, it wouldn't be risky to give them a chance! What do you think? Thanks, Rita!
