Illustrators wanted for children's TV show

Would you enjoy helping us out?  We need your help!

This is an unpaid opportunity, UCB are a Christian charity and I am currently involved in a co-production with them on our third season of kids' TV, it's a show called 'Jovis Bon-Hovis and the Creation Crew'.  Previous seasons air in numerous countries including on KICC in the UK, The Dove in the USA, in Australia, New Zealand, across Scandinavia, the Philippines and India, as well as on Satellite across North, South and Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East.

Phew!  There you go, so the show gets seen and season 3 is going to be MUCH bigger.  In each episode, there is a story time featuring a short story of about 3 minutes or so, during which six illustrations appear on screen.

Until now, I have personally been illustrating each story, but in consideration of the steps forward we've made with season 3 including all new sets and characters, I would dearly love to see more variety in the illustrations.  Truth be told, I'm not that great!

I really need a few helpful souls to jump on board and take one or two episodes each, and produce six big, bold colourful illustrations for them.

You would have a great deal of creative freedom, you can choose how to go about it, which medium, how to create the characters, which parts to illustrate etc.  And of course your name would appear in the credits of the show as illustrator!

I know 'exposure' is not a fair reason to do this.  I'm just asking for your help, what we do is a good thing, a quality, entertaining show for kids which teaches good wholesome Christian values.  We don't do it for the money, we do it because it's the right thing to do.

However being a published illustrator for TV does look good on the CV!

Below is an example of one of our earlier episodes of the show, bear in mind the new show has all new sets since then (picture below)!  Also, you can see an example of the kind of work I've been doing.  If you can work to this standard (which I'm sure a gibbon with a Biro probably could!), I would dearly love and appreciate your help. We need these illustrations complete by Nov 20th at the latest, however as you can see we are aiming the show at 3-7yrs so we're not looking for time-consuming intricately detailed work, just fun, bold, bright images which fit the story.

Below is an episode from season 2 with the old cut-out sets:


Here is an example of the kind of simple, bright illustrations I have produced so far:
