Too bad the artist has to live or be close enough to NYC. Face to face is always preferable and certainly understandable though.
I suggest you be a little more forthcoming regarding who you are and what company you represent, the scope of the project, and perhaps the budget in order to attract someone to your (presently) vague project. I am sure there are other details that you can provide that will not necessarily impact or affect some non disclosure agreement.
Contract artists love details.

Lexip22,
Thank you for the insight and understanding.
The artist has to be local so we can creatively interact, in my opinion the most effective way to create and revise.
Once contacted by an artist with the appropriate credentials they will receive more details. So, learning more about the project is really as simple as - working in the Tri-State area, having experience and sending an email with a portfolio.
Thx.

Tedk,
I have been working in the industry since the early 90's, so I actually
understand your reasons for not disclosing your project details openly.
I believe you took my response as it was intended, to suggest an approach to reach more potential candidates and thus improve your chances in finding the ideal artist. You still would benefit from explaining who you are, your agency, and so on. I am not trying to be an antagonist, but appropriate credentials work both ways. Your ideal artist might just as easily ignore your post for the same reasons I have mentioned.
Best of luck in your search.
Lex
