Artist Seeking Representation Submission Guidelines (Edited February 23rd, 2026)

Suggested Submission

The ideal format:

  • Short, polite message, email: travis@travisfoster.com

  • A couple of images in the email body (three images are usually enough)

  • Provide a link to your website/online portfolio (It’s helpful if your website includes links to your social media links: Instagram, LinkedIn, Behance, etc.)

  • Concise and easy for the agent to quickly scan through

Universal best practices:

  • Web-optimized images — Avoid 300dpi files (massive sizes), but not pixelated either. Suggested size 200dpi, 1700 pixels in width

  • Brief introduction — a few sentences, not a life story. Shows you can communicate

  • Professional tone — friendly, not groveling, and also not arrogant

  • Check spelling — keep it professional, email is our lifeblood in communication

  • Client list okay — but no resume or CV needed (your work speaks for itself)

  • Easy access to more work — include website and social media links

  • No zip files or Google Drive downloads — this creates barriers, and won’t be opened
