U.S.-Based Apparel Illustrator – Baseball & Fishing Lifestyle Brand

# Freelance Apparel Illustrator Wanted — Tank Nation Artist Series

• *Brand:** Tank Nation
• *Website:** https://tanknation.net
• *Location:** United States (Remote)
• *Project Budget:** $150 fixed price for the initial design
• *About Tank Nation**

Tank Nation is a growing baseball and fishing lifestyle apparel brand built around two passions: hitting tanks and catching tanks. Our brand celebrates baseball, fishing, the outdoors, and the memories made along the way. We're looking for a talented U.S.-based illustrator who understands this lifestyle and can help bring original ideas to our apparel.

• *What We're Looking For**

We're developing the Tank Nation Artist Series, featuring occasional specialty T-shirt releases with original, distinctive artwork. Ideally, we're looking for someone who: - Has experience creating original T-shirt illustrations and apparel graphics. - Genuinely enjoys or understands baseball, fishing, or outdoor culture. - Can develop creative concepts, not simply reproduce existing designs. - Has a strong artistic style, particularly vintage, hand-drawn, retro sports, or outdoor illustrations. - Understands screen-printing and print-on-demand apparel requirements. - Communicates well and enjoys creative collaboration.

• *The First Project**

We'll begin with one original specialty T-shirt design. We're open to collaborating on the concept and giving the artist creative freedom while staying true to the Tank Nation identity. If the collaboration goes well, we'd love to work together on future specialty releases.

• *Deliverables**

- One original, production-ready T-shirt illustration. - High-resolution transparent PNG. - Editable vector artwork, preferably AI or SVG. - Commercial usage rights, including permission to reproduce, promote, and re-release the design in future collections. - Agreed revisions and final approval before completion.

• *About Our Specialty Releases**

These will be limited-time releases, with the possibility of bringing popular designs back in the future. We're not looking to replace our existing logo or completely rebrand Tank Nation. We're looking for an artist who can add something special to our apparel collection.

• *When Applying**

Please share your portfolio, especially examples of baseball, fishing, outdoor, or lifestyle apparel artwork. We'd also love to hear about your personal connection to baseball, fishing, or the outdoors, your creative process, and your typical turnaround time. We're excited to find someone who shares our interests and could become a long-term creative collaborator.

• *HIT TANKS. CATCH TANKS.**
