Calling cover artists…

I’m going to be needing covers for a couple of projects and I could use some help. I’m not sure I can afford to get covers done, but I’d like to get some idea of what it would cost.

1. What do you charge? Fixed rate or percentage of royalties?

2. Could you possibly suggest some good sources of gay images? I know stockphoto, but what else is out there with low royalties or no-cost public images? It doesn’t have to be couples, but a source for good images of scantily clad attractive guys.

3. If you know of a good cover artist who is either new or not expensive, I’d be glad to get some recommendations.
