My name is Kaiman Lee, 李启文.I am an American citizen living in the San Francisco Bay Area.I have written many books, one of which "Cartoon-Illustrated Metaphors: Idioms, Proverbs, Cliches and Slang" has been distributed to mainly "English as Second Language" audiences.
While the first book has only one hundred metaphors (谚语), I am planning to continue that work to cover most of the useful metaphors, potentially thousands.
I plan to recruit two to four illustration artists who are completely proficient in using computers for making cartoon drawings.My website is www.MyMetaphors.com, where you can see a lot of current illustrations.
The work procedure is basically the following:
- I will free-hand draft a cartoon that illustrates a metaphor and explain it in English and/or Chinese to the artist.
- The English writing about the metaphor will be provided to the artist.
- The artist interprets and draws the cartoon directly using a computer.
I am an independent writer not associated with any big company, thus your consideration of such would be appreciated. The assignment is long term. Compensation will probably be on a per drawing basis.
I'll be in Dalian for the whole month of November, 2007 to interview potential candidates. If you are not a candidate, but knows someone who may qualify for such a position, please refer that person to me.
Thank you very much.Best regards. Kaiman Lee
