The proper production and successful marketing of an artist’s work demands advertising knowledge, technical expertise, industry experience, and considerable expense. It is no small commitment when Cherry Creek agrees to take on an artist and offer our services to promote their work. That is why Cherry Creek is widely known for being very selective in choosing artists, and why we’ve earned the respect and loyalty of those we represent.

In the past, our focus had been marketing “flash sets” exclusively to the tattoo industry. Now, with the addition of on-line sales of single “tattoo designs” direct to tattoo customers, we are able to offer greater opportunities for designers and illustrators to join the elite group of artists we represent. While our standards are still very high, the door is open for talented fresh faces (or old legends) to become part of the Cherry Creek team.

Cherry Creek accepts submissions of individual tattoo designs, as well as complete flash sheets and tattoo flash sets. Be selective in choosing the art you submit -- we are selective in choosing the artists we accept.

Be sure to read Creating Successful Flash It is an informative in-depth look at drawing, producing and marketing successful flash art written by Rand Johnson.

Guidelines for submitting artwork to Cherry Creek.

Submissions of artwork can be either e-mailed to Cherry Creek, or snail-mailed to our company offices. E-mailed art should be in JPG format and limited to several examples of your best work. Art that is sent snail-mail to Cherry Creek should be good quality prints or photocopies -- DO NOT send original art -- submitted art will be kept on file, but will not be returned. All submitted artwork must have accompanying clean, accurate line art.

Please include a letter or note about yourself, your experience as an artist, and your interest in creating tattoo designs -- along with your address, e-mail, and phone number. Cherry Creek reviews all submissions and will be contacting you regarding your submission. Your patience is appreciated, as we receive quite a few inquiries from interested artists.
