We are always interested in new ideas from artists, cartoonists and copywriters.
To find out more about how to present your work for consideration, please see questions below.
How do I submit samples of artwork?
Please don´t send original artwork. We will consider any format of samples -- colour photocopies, photographs, slides or Polaroids. Send a selection of approximately 6 to 8 samples.
Size and shape don´t matter at this stage. Everything we received is discussed at a product meeting where we decide if it is suitable for publication, or if the artist´s style is suitable to be commissioned.
Everything is returned by post after consideration, so please include a stamped addressed evelope with your submission, and if necessary, a protective wallet for safe return of your work.

How do I submit humour ideas?
Humour or copy ideas are best submitted as a dummy greeting card, on a folded piece of paper with the opening of the joke on page 1 and the punch line on page 3.
