Looking for artists to paint a guesthouse

This is our job board for expats. Until ZipRecruiter and Indeed make their way to the Kingdom of Wonder, this is the best place to look for employment in Cambodia, whether you're looking to teach English, manage a 5-star hotel, volunteer, or even work for some of the big NGOs. Even digital nomads who move to Cambodia sometimes need a side gig as a TEFL instructor from time to time. Most professional expatriate jobs are in Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap and Kampot are emerging as attractive alternatives. If you're an employer or hiring manager, you're also welcome to post your job listing here for free.

Lisa and peap ask a bit more than room and board and a few extra bucks. Results look worth the price, but they do seem to so much of their big jobs overseas. Perhaps a reflection of what owners want to / can afford to pay

Personally, if I had a guesthouse, I'd be hunting down a bunch of village sign painters, If there's any left, and having them paint different parts of the property.
Why is that? What do they paint like?

Yea, we have a couple of hundreds $ budget, so willing to negotiate for the right person

Couple hundred won't even cover the paint. I had them give a ballpark figure in early 2013 for a mural on the outside of a guesthouse in Kratie I helped design, $1500 minimum, plus transport, accommodation, food etc. Pretty sure they get paid much more than that, and quite often are in BKK doing big jobs. Last I saw they spent a month or so in the Maldives painting an entire resort.


Its a dying trade, but cambodian painted signs are pretty unique: https://www.google.com.kh/search?q=camb ... EQ_AUIBygB

I will cover paint, bus transportation etc
The couple of hundred + free food /drinks + accommodation in a private AC room etc (limit for irish/Scottish people :P)

Sorry, I should have been more clear but I can't edit the original post now.

As I mentioned, check out Lorns work, very talented and many diverse styles. I will try to post some of his art wprk when I have access to a computer.

Lisa Mam and Peap are also extremely talented, but they stick to the one style mostly...and as someone mentioned, $200 most likely wouldn't cut it for them as they are highly sought after world wide.

I believe that was Chifumi, he has thrown up some great pieces around town, his latest piece in Boueng Kak is well worth checking out.
