OVERVIEW
It's official! 101 Things Every Man Should Know How to Do (http://www.webook.com/project/101-Things-Every-Man-Should-Know) has gotten the green light for publication. Now we need graphics and illustrations!
101 Things is the ultimate grab-bag manthology -- a community-sourced marvel, spanning everything from cooking steak to fighting bears, from buying cars to tipping strippers. We have articles for the Manly Man, the Impressive Man, the Tricky Man, and the Resourceful Man. We're all over the map, and we like it that way! We want our illustrations to be all over the map, too.
The illustrations for 101 Things, like the articles, will be community-sourced. That means anyone can submit a graphic (or two, or three, or four), and the best of the best will end up in the book. How do you get in on the action? First, check out the book to get some ideas about what you might want to draw. http://www.webook.com/project/101-Things-Every-Man-Should-Know . Illustrations should be article-specific. We will need icons for each of our four types of man, as well. (The Manly Man, the Impressive Man, the Tricky Man, and the Resourceful Man.)
Click Start a New Article to create a submission for your illustration. One illustration per submission, please. The title of your submission should make it reasonably obvious what you're trying to illustrate. If you want to provide more in-depth information, you can include text with the image.
To upload your illustration, you'll first have to host it on an outside photo site. From your WEbook.com submission, in the writing area, you'll spot a nifty button in the toolbar that looks like a tree. That's the image button. Click on it, and a dialog box will appear giving you the option of inserting the URL for an image hosted on one of these other sites. Simply go to Photobucket, Flickr, or your image site of choice, copy and paste the direct link to that image (this may be the URL or the site may provide you the "Direct Link" somewhere on that page). Paste the link into the "Image URL" line. That's it. Hit "Insert." Please Note: copying and pasting the URL from the page where your photo appears often does not work. In Flickr, you would use the All Sizes button above the image and grab the URL that appears in a text box below the image.
You can provide for image dimensions, etc., but you don't have to. Once you click "Insert" and the image appears in your submission, you can click on it and use the guide marks to enlarge or reduce it.
Images are limited to 495 pixels in width. If your image is larger than this, it will be automatically cropped. If you see that happen, try again and limit the width in the dialog box to 495 or resize in the original form. Higher resolution images may be used in the printed book, but for the purposes of this competition, we'll keep 'em small. Like all content on WEbook, images and illustrations are subject to legal protection. You can only insert photos and images that you own.
WEbook will use a combination of user ratings and our own impeccable taste to choose which graphics will end up in the published book. Chosen artists will share in the profits from sales of the book.
Note: Though 101 Things has been green-lighted, it is still a work in progress! We're working with the authors to finalize contracts, and all articles will be edited before publication. Although the contents of the book can't be considered final yet, please use the existing material when deciding what you want to draw.
Have fun!

I don't really think the book needs a bunch of illustrations. Maybe a couple of diagrams.
