If you think you know--or are--the next Ping Lian Yeak, the creators of "Artism: Art By Those With Autism!" want to hear from you. They're seeking original artwork to include in the next book in this series titled "Artism Anew."

The coffee table book of color artwork created by people with autism is designed to "literally transform the lives of readers from all walks of life," said project coordinator Karen Simmons, the Founder of Autism Today, and author of the books Artism and Chicken Soup for Soul: Children with Special Needs.

Fourteen-year-old Ping Lian Yeak has already agreed to contribute art for the project. Others include:

Jonathan Lerman, Seth Chwast, George Widener, Gregory Blackstock, Amanda LaMunyon, Marcy Deutsch, Temple Grandin, and Donna Williams.

There are no limits to the number of submissions. High quality TIFF or PNG files of artwork must be received no later than August 15, 2008. Artists can send electronic files by email to artism@autismtoday.com. Or mail submissions (they will NOT be returned) to:

Debbie Hosseini

PO Box 630

Carpinteria, CA 93014

Yes!

Ummmm, I cannot compete with a 14 year old and I never will even try. No way!

Go read my profile.

You should specify 300 ppi per inch resolution. I will look into this more tomorrow. I need to know what is the maximum (megabytes MB) allowance for each email. Also do they have FTP, that's file transfer protocol, and yes I'm Autie, artist and geek, too.

Tickled! Wow, Man! Whoooosh!

Sounds like an interesting book. I don't think I could submit my artwork though. My creative endeavor seems to be playing around with animated gifs. Oh, well. At least I have fun with them.
