Abacus



Artists

We design much of the Abacus range in-house, however we do also purchase and commission artwork from external contributors. We are happy to accept speculative submissions, whether you are an artist, designer, photographer or writer, but would be particularly interested in viewing the following:

Fine Art
- Traditional and contemporary paintings of classic male orientated subjects (e.g. cars, planes and sport themes)
- Floral still life
- Landscapes
- Gardens
- Animals, particularly cats, ducks and horses
- Christmas themed images (e.g. wintry scenes, robins and seasonal interior scenes)

Photography
- Floral close ups
- Garden or panoramic landscapes
- Floral still life images

Contemporary Illustrations and Designs
We are always on the look out for talented illustrators / designers, with original but commercial styles and ideas, for a variety of commissions.

Verse Writing and Copywriting
We do not have any requirements at present for the services of writers, but we are happy to add you to our files for future reference.

If you wish to submit samples of your work, please follow the guidelines below.

Please DO NOT send original artworks. Colour copies, transparencies, digital prints or images on CD-ROM (Mac formatted) are all acceptable. You can also email images or direct us to a website, although email is preferred as websites can take a long time to browse through.

If you wish to have your samples returned, please inform us and enclose an S.A.E.

Label all posted samples with your name and address

And finally please be patient in waiting for a reply. We do receive a large number of submissions.

Thank You
