I'm looking to buy some original art that I can reproduce as labels for some mickey (200ml) sized bottles. Here is the bottle:
Oh Mickey, youre so fine - youre so fine, you blow my mind - hey Mickey!

I figure the end labels should be on the order of 2.5" by 3.5", which is very close to the size of a business card (3.5" by 2").

Basically, I want patent medicine bottle labels, but with a humourous/surrealist bent. Here's an example of what I mean (Links to the artists, in case you wanted to give them some cash):
Eat me. Pretty please

Another example, though this one might lose a lot of detail if I were to reduce it:
Civilized Octopodiforms properly court their young ladies.

Ultimately, I would want something I could display on my wall, and also apply to about a dozen bottles. I'd need about four different pieces, so maybe four different artists?

Additional points and questions:

  • What's a good ratio for the finished art/label? Twice as big? Four times? Like I said, it should look good on a 2.5" by 3.5" label.
  • I'm a firm believer in artists getting paid, so what's a good price for something like this?
  • Is a month of time reasonable for working artists to complete this? I'm hoping leaving it until late October to start isn't too bad, but I wanted to see the actual bottles first.
Finally, are you interested? Drop me a line.
