Children's Book Illustrator Needed

I'm looking for a freehand illustrator(s) who can design varying illustrations for printed children's books. To start, you would be designing illustrations for classic children's books, like The Tale of Peter Rabbit, Twas the Night Before Christmas, A Christmas Carol, Peter Pan, and The Adventures of Pinocchio. Later on, we'd also need specific scenes illustrated, such as knights fighting dragons, fairies in a meadow, dinosaurs, etc... Please provide a general estimate for creating a single illustration. Most importantly, you must provide samples of work or you will not be considered. Also let us know if you would be open to a full time, 3-6 month contract position, or if you would prefer only working freelance.
