Who are you?
Curious Child™ is a brand name company which focuses on the child. Our customers see the child's characteristics and behaviors as a model for imitation and a source of inspiration and wonder.
We invite you to create artwork focusing on the child under your own name and under the sponsorship of our brand name. Through us you will be able to spread your work worldwide and earn royalties for each artwork sold through our site.
What types of artwork do you sell on the website?
Pictures: Drawings, illustrations, comics etc by hand, photographs, drawings and digital illustrations – all of children on canvas, posters, photocopying paper, glass and more, including a variety of frames.
Pictures of children
Statues of children of glass, silver, bronze, ceramics, stone and additional materials hand made or cast.
Songs and movies performed by children.
What artistic works can I send you?
We accept any digital medium:
Digital picture files that present an image or images of children only. Each picture must embody one positive characteristic or more of the child: curiosity, wonder, love of life, liveliness, innocence, daring imagination, creativity and more.
Music and video files which have children appearing in them.
We will be glad to receive suggestions for creations relating to children in any other artistic digital medium.
You may send us the digital pictures in any style: any type of picture, illustrations, drawings, comics, photographs and any digital artistic artwork you can conceive in any size. The pictures are aimed at all ages, from posters for children's bedrooms and up to canvas pictures of the living room, office and organizations.
* Learn more about our rules – on the Detailed Rules for Artists.
We give you total freedom of creativity and will never interfere in the way an artist chooses to express The magic of childhood™ as he/she sees it through his/her eyes. You may create artwork in any fashion, in any material and in any way that can be reproduced digitally.
Detailed Rules for Artists:
In order for us to publish your artwork on the CuriousChild.com website please comply with the following rules:1. The picture must present an image or images of children only during the period of childhood (age 6-12 only, with no images of other age groups).
2. The picture must embody one positive characteristic or more of the child: curiosity, wonder, love of life, liveliness, innocence, daring imagination, creativity and more.
3. The picture may be in any artistic style: abstract, illustration, comics and others, in any color and shade.
4. A digital picture file in 300 DPI, print size of at least 10" (25+ cm).
How do I go about it?When you create your picture do not be afraid to exaggerate the love of life of the child. Emphasize the expression of wonder, the love of playing, the curiosity of exploring, paint the child jumping up to the sky!
We will accept pictures that express critical messages towards society on the condition that they focus on the image of the child in a positive fashion.
What not to do?1. Do not present the image of the child in a negative or ridiculous manner, for instance:
1.1 Picture of The Crying Boy
1.2 Statue of The Golden Boy of Pye Corner
We respect these creations and their representation. However they do not meet our standards. A picture of a child crying transmits a weak and vulnerable image.
The Golden Boy of Pye Corner does not represent the magic of curiosity, creativity and love of life.
1.3 Do not depict children as fairies or angels.
2. Do not depict religious, military or national imagery or symbols (including national flags) in the pictures.
3. Do not depict violence, sex or pornography in the pictures.
What will I earn?
You can choose between two proposed agreements whichever is more appropriate for you:
1) To receive royalties for each artwork: We will pay you a percentage or fixed amount for each picture that we sell. Your name will appear on the picture and you will keep the copyright. (Learn more about this agreement - coming soon).
or
2) Sell us your creation: We will purchase the copyright from you and distribute prints of your picture, in our name, without restriction on time and copies, in return for a one time payment. Your name will not appear on the picture. (Learn more about this agreement - coming soon).
What added value do you offer?
Your name will appear on each artwork as copyright owner (in the royalty agreement), together with the brand name stamp of Curious Child which indicates to our customers that your artwork has been tested and chosen by us.
You will gain the prestige of the brand name, publish your creation and your name and earn money. We gain a talented artist who will spread our mutual vision worldwide.
