Seeking artist for GN: serious, paid offer

Bulletin:

My name is David Axe. I am a war correspondent based in Washington, D.C. I am under contract with NBM Graphic Novels to create a series of autobiographical graphic novels based on my work in Iraq. The first book, WAR FIX (2006), was a multiple award winner (Foreword Magazine, ALA, Amazon Top Ten).

The second book, LOVE & TERROR -- a true tale about the intersection of love, sex, war and terrorism set in London and Iraq in 2005 -- is slated for publication in the next year or so. But there's a small problem: the artist, Adam Rosenlund, has had to mostly drop out at a very late stage for personal reasons. He has left the book 75% complete.

I am seeking an artist to work closely with me and Adam to finish the 120-page book. I need someone with:

--the willingness and ability to meld his style to closely match Adam's
--a proven ability to meet deadlines
--ability to pencil, ink and letter

I am offering a healthy page rate, plus royalties and co top billing; in return I expect an artist who works fast and stays in close contact.

If interested, I can show you Adam's pages ... and you can decide if you can pull this off. Check out some samples:

This is a serious offer. Serious replies only. You can email me at david_axe@hotmail.com.
