Greetings Mr Fobe,
Whilst browsing your Deviantart profile I found one piece that struck my interest, entitled Gasmask.
I would like to use that photograph on the cover of the newest edition of my novel The Noxious and the Daemon Flower. I have been researching new visuals and your photo fits in perfectly to represent the overall "anarchist" theme of the novel. Basically, the mood and details represented through that piece are exactly what I’m looking for.
Here are the details of my proposal.
As a visual artist you would retain all copyrights. The picture will not be modified and you will be given full credits. As this is an independent project, you will understand if I can not offer you financial compensation. Our means are limited and I can barely cover my costs. I can, however, offer you visibility through the project, list you as a partner on my website and include all links to your own pages. I would also be open to new ways of visibility, for example, a new section in my gallery reserved to your works.
Aside from this, pending mainstream publication of the novel, your work would be prioritised to be endorsed and paid for the new edition. I can also provide work references, should you need some in the future.
Finally, should you accept this proposal, I will mail you a copy of the book once it is published.
I hope you will find this deal beneficial for the both of us and remain at your disposal should you have any question.
Cordially,
Bruno Massé, M.Sc.
