General
Oceaniacom Pty Ltd is a dynamic media and entertainment company headquartered in Sydney, Australia. We’re dedicated to promoting creativity and diverse storytelling across various entertainment domains.
Our company is based in sunny Sydney, Australia.
Oceaniacom Pty Ltd was founded in 2021. The company launched to the public in early 2024.
Our mission is to provide a platform for creators to share their unique stories with the world. We aim to inspire and entertain audiences globally.
At Oceaniacom Pty Ltd and its subsidiaries, Oceaniacom Films and Oceaniacom Press, we are passionate about supporting authentic, human-created content. We acknowledge and appreciate the innovation and possibilities that artificial intelligence (AI) brings to various fields. AI technology has the potential to transform industries and enhance creativity in many ways.
However, our commitment is to fostering and showcasing real human creativity. Therefore, we have established a clear policy regarding AI-generated content:
- Prohibition of AI-Generated Content: We do not accept or publish any content that has been created using AI tools, whether wholly or partially. This includes, but is not limited to, text generated by AI writing programs, images created by AI art generators, and other forms of AI-driven content.
- Support for Human Creativity: Our focus is on supporting real artists, writers, filmmakers, and creators. We believe that true artistic expression and originality come from human experience and creativity. By prioritizing human-created content, we aim to contribute to a vibrant and authentic creative community.
- Submission Requirements: All content submitted to us must be original and created by human creators. Submissions that are found to contain AI-generated elements will be disqualified from consideration. We may also request additional information to verify the authenticity of the content.
- Consequences for Violations: If AI-generated content is discovered after submission or publication, it will be removed, and further actions may be taken according to our “Terms of Use.” We may also consider banning the submitter from future submissions if they violate our AI content policy.
- Our Stance on AI Innovation: While we do not support AI-generated content for our platforms, we recognize and value the role of AI in innovation, technological advancements, and the possibilities of contributing to people’s lives in meaningful ways. We encourage the use of AI in ways that complement and enhance the human experience, rather than replace it.
For more information on our AI Policies, feel free to review our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
We are committed to maintaining a platform where real human creativity thrives, and we appreciate your understanding and support of our policy.

Artist Directory
For Clients/Authors:
The Artist Directory is a curated resource of independent illustrators available for creative collaborations. It allows clients/authors to browse professional artists and find someone whose style aligns with their book’s vision — whether for cover design, children’s book illustrations, graphic novel art, interior artwork, audiobook narration, and more.
You may browse the directory and reach out directly to an artist whose portfolio matches your project. Each artist is an independent creative professional, so initial contact, discussion, and project fit are handled directly between you and the illustrator.
If you’d like assistance making an introduction, our team is happy to help facilitate the connection.
In most cases, authors select and contact artists directly through the directory. We believe creative alignment works best when both parties mutually agree on the collaboration.
For official Oceaniacom Press internal projects, artists may be selected through a formal internal process.
All discussions regarding rates, scope of work, deadlines, revisions, and deliverables are negotiated directly between you and the illustrator.
Oceaniacom does not set pricing or negotiate freelance terms for directory-based collaborations.
Payments are made directly to the illustrator using their preferred payment method. Oceaniacom does not collect, process, or distribute payments for Artist Directory collaborations.
No. Oceaniacom does not take a commission, service fee, or percentage from collaborations that originate through the Artist Directory.
The directory exists to create opportunity and connection — not to function as an agency.
While most artists in our directory are open for commissions, availability can vary. We recommend reaching out to your preferred artist to confirm their current schedule and terms.
No. Artists in the directory are independent freelancers, and availability may vary. Collaboration depends on mutual agreement, scheduling, and project fit.
Yes, each artist’s profile includes a portfolio where you can view their work to ensure their style fits your needs.
Be sure to provide details about your project, your expectations, timeline, and budget. This will help the artist assess whether they can take on your commission and provide an accurate quote.
The directory is free to browse, and there are no fees for connecting with an artist. Payment arrangements are made directly between you and the artist.
For Artists:
The Artist Directory is a curated listing of independent illustrators and creatives who are open to collaborating with authors and publishing clients. It exists to help connect the right creative partners for the right projects.
To be included, simply fill out our submission form with your contact details, portfolio link, and a brief bio. Our team will review your submission and add you to the directory. Our team will also reach out to you for any additional details and/or art samples.
No, there’s no cost for artists to be listed in our directory. We aim to provide a platform to help creatives connect with potential clients.
You can showcase any professional work relevant to your field, such as illustrations, designs, animations, or storyboards. Be sure your portfolio reflects your best work and the services you offer.
There are two primary pathways:
A. Author-Initiated Projects (Directory-Based)
Authors publishing with us may browse the Artist Directory and reach out directly to an illustrator whose style fits their vision.
B. Internal Oceaniacom Projects
From time to time, Oceaniacom develops in-house publishing projects (including children’s books, fiction, and graphic novels). In those cases, artists may be invited to collaborate under a formal publishing agreement.
Being listed in the directory does not guarantee work, but it increases visibility and potential collaboration opportunities.
Yes, you can update your portfolio or contact details at any time by contacting our team at: [email protected]. We encourage artists to keep their profiles up-to-date with their latest work.
Clients can contact you directly through the information you provide in your profile. Make sure your contact details are accurate to ensure you don’t miss any opportunities.
When a client is interested, they’ll reach out directly through the contact details you’ve provided on your profile. Be sure to keep your email or preferred contact method updated to ensure you don’t miss any inquiries.
It depends on the project:
- Directory collaborations are typically arranged directly between the illustrator and the author/client.
- Internal publishing projects are commissioned directly by Oceaniacom and handled under a formal agreement.
For Artist Directory collaborations:
- Rates, scope, timelines, and payment terms are negotiated directly between the illustrator and the author/client.
- Payments are made directly to the illustrator.
- Oceaniacom does not process, collect, or distribute these payments.
For internal Oceaniacom publishing projects:
- Compensation structure is outlined clearly in a signed agreement.
- Payments and royalties are handled directly by Oceaniacom Press.
No. For projects that originate through the Artist Directory, Oceaniacom does not take a percentage, commission, or service fee from the illustrator’s earnings.
The directory functions as a visibility and connection resource — not a talent agency.
Absolutely! You are under no obligation to accept every project. If a commission doesn’t align with your skills, style, or availability, you can kindly decline or refer the client to another artist in the directory.
To update your profile, contact our art department team at: [email protected]. If you wish to remove your profile, simply reach out to us, and we’ll take care of it promptly.
Yes, you can select multiple areas of specialization when filling out your submission form. This allows potential clients to see the range of services you offer.
We review each submission to ensure the quality of work meets our standards and that the artist’s profile is complete. Once approved, your profile will be added to the directory.
It’s important to manage your workload effectively. If you’re unable to take on all requests, communicate clearly with potential clients about your availability, or schedule them for future projects.
Yes, you are welcome to include both personal and commissioned pieces, as long as they represent your best work. This will give clients a well-rounded view of your artistic capabilities.
Collaboration is encouraged! Feel free to connect with other artists listed in the directory if you’re interested in working together on a project.
No. Artists in the directory are independent freelancers. Listing does not constitute employment, guaranteed work, or exclusivity.
