Apply to be an Illustrator and your work could be featured on our site till the end of time!

Do you have a passion for painting? A desire for drawing? Or maybe you’re a photoshop wiz, and you need to scratch your graphic design itch.

Wherever your creativity lies, we want YOU to join the Illustration Team at Bwog! Illustrators partner with our Staff Writers to create headers and images for our articles—so we don’t have to use blurry and boring stock photos. Illustrators can also pitch projects of their own, including entirely visual articles.

As an Illustrator, you will attend Bwog meetings Sunday at 9 pm to pitch your ideas and partner with our writers. You’ll join Bwog’s vibrant, social community and bring your ideas to life on the laptop-sized big screen.

To apply to be an Illustrator fill out the application below and email it to editors@bwog.com by 11:59 pm EST on Friday, September 17. Please send in your application as a PDF titled “*First Name* App.”
