Chrysalis Art Collective

Your Art. Our Story. Shared Legacy.

Join a collective of visionary artists creating illustrated books together

The Vision

Join the Metamorphosis

Like a butterfly emerging from its chrysalis, your art is ready to transform from individual creation into collective legacy.

We bring together visionary artists to create premium illustrated books — each one a gallery of diverse artistic voices united by a single transformative story. This isn't work-for-hire. This is co-creation.

The Caterpillar's Journey

A story of self-discovery and transformation

A caterpillar sets out to discover its true purpose in life. Should it imitate the other insects — the industrious ants, the graceful dragonflies? Or is it destined to become something entirely its own? A visionary tale for children (and adults) about finding your authentic path.

Jack & the Beanstalk

A modernized retelling of the classic tale

The beloved fairy tale reimagined for a new generation. Jack's climb isn't just about adventure — it's about courage, consequence, and the magic that happens when we dare to reach for something greater. A visually stunning interpretation brought to life by diverse artistic visions.

Questions

Frequently Asked

Do I keep the rights to my artwork?

Absolutely! You retain 100% of the rights to your own work. Sell prints, use it in your portfolio, license it to other projects — it's yours forever. We only use it within our collaborative book project.

How exactly do the royalties work?

50% of all net profits from each book are distributed equally among all contributing artists. If a book has 30 artists and earns $10,000 in profits, $5,000 is split equally — each artist receives approximately $167. And these royalties continue for the lifetime of the book, not just a one-time payment.

What if I sell my art independently?

That's encouraged! You keep 100% of any sales from your own artwork — prints, originals, licenses. The royalty split only applies to sales of the collaborative book itself. Your art, your rights, your independent revenue.

Is there any cost to join?

No! There are absolutely no upfront costs. You contribute your art to projects you believe in. When the book sells, we all share in the success together.

Can I join multiple projects?

Yes! You're welcome to contribute to as many projects as you'd like. Each project is independent, so you'll earn royalties from each book you contribute to.
