Artist's Sign in

Artists can create an account at They Draw And Travel. An Artist's account enables you to maintain your profile and inform us how to send royalties to you if any of your artwork is sold as a fine art print.

We're working on accounts for everyone in the future, but for right now this is an artists-only feature. Stay tuned!

ARTWORK REQUIREMENTS

Map Size
16.667" wide x 6.25" high
(a.k.a. 423.34mm wide x 158.75mm high or 5000px wide x 1875px high)

File Type
300 dpi JPG in RGB color (this is VERY important)

Things We Love to See in a Map
Places you will NOT find in a guidebook, attractions that aren't going to go away (parks, museums, neighborhoods, beaches), text written in the native language of the place (or English if you're not from there), and especially...places YOU like to go and things YOU like to do!

One Thing to Remember
We have already published three books from They Draw and Cook and we plan to publish a collection of maps from They Draw and Travel too! So, if you want your map to be considered for publication, please try to be mindful of the gutter.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can I still post my artwork on my blog or sell the original piece?
By all means, yes! The founding principle of TDAT is to promote artists, and we share the mutual goal of getting your work out in the world! However, in order for us to promote your work, it is necessary for you to grant us certain non-exclusive rights to your artwork.

Why do you ask for a 300 dpi file?
We need high resolution files in order to print and sell your artwork to people all over the world on things like fine art prints, calendars, and postcards. And, as you can see on our Terms of Service agreement (Section 5D), we will pay you 50% Net License Income on certain licensed products that use your image.

What's all this legal stuff in the Terms of Service?
The Terms of Service is a binding agreement that grants us certain rights to your submission. As artists ourselves, we’re not only dedicated to showcasing, promoting and marketing your art, but, unlike other submission-based websites, we have created an “artist friendly” business model intended to actually benefit you, the artist. For instance, if we publish your submission in a book, you’ll not only receive a credit but also a free copy of the book. If we use your submission on certain types of licensed products, such as artprints or calendars, we will pay you 50% Net License Income, as specified in the Terms of Service. Most importantly, you retain ownership of all copyrights you may have in your submission.
