When are commissions open? 

I open commissions twice a year. You are welcome to submit your information at any time, but keep in mind I only work on commissioned pieces during two time periods: 

  1. Spring Commissions: Open from April 1 - June 1
  2. Holiday Commissions: Open from September 1 - November 15

Pricing: 

The following amounts are starting prices for my work. All pricing will vary depending on the type of piece, size, materials needed, etc. For a full list of my current pricing, please click here. 

  • Black & White Drawings: starting at $100
  • Full Color Drawings: starting at $115
  • Acrylic Abstract Paintings: starting at $215
  • Mixed Media Pieces: starting at $230
  • Acrylic Pop Portrait Paintings: starting at $250
  • Acrylic Fantasy Landscape Paintings: starting at $270

Deposits: 

A 50% deposit is required before any work can start. This deposit is non-refundable, and the balance due will be required to be paid before shipment of the piece. 

Time Frames: 

If there is any deadline on your piece, no matter how far out, I will need to know it at the time you submit your deposit. If I accept your commission request, it is guaranteed to be completed by the date you provide. If it is not completed on time, you will not pay the balance, and in some cases, I may refund your deposit. If there is no date provided at the time of your deposit, your piece will be worked on when I am available to give it proper attention. 

Painting Timelines:

 All paintings require at least 8 weeks of time to complete. Any painting requests with a deadline of less than 8 weeks are not likely to be accepted. If I am able to accept it, please note that rush fees will apply. 

Drawing Timelines: 

Drawings do not have a minimum timeline, but 3 weeks are suggested. If I cannot realistically complete your piece as proposed, I will not accept the project. 

Rush Fees: 

Please note that any drawing of any size needed in 4 weeks or less may be accepted, but rush fees will apply. Any paintings needed between 8 weeks - 10 weeks and are accepted will be considered rush orders, and rush fees will apply. (Rush fees are generally 10-25% of the quoted total - depending on time of year and the requested deadline date)

Payment Methods:

Pieces will start once the deposit has been received, and shipping or delivery will happen once the full balance has been paid. I accept online payments using invoices in PayPal or requests in Venmo. If you prefer to deliver the deposit or balance in-person, I accept cash only from first time clients, and I will accept personal checks from repeat clients. 

Special Notes: 

If you have any additional requests, it is important to mention them in our email conversations. Artwork can be personal, and here are some commonly requested considerations 

  • Please don’t post my work on social media or your website
  • Please do not mention my name or tag me in posts if you share this piece on your social media
  • Could you also copy [person] on our updates and conversations? 
  • Please do not use this idea for any future commissions (this one is tricky and will require some additional conversation) 
  • Please use UPS/FedEx/etc to ship and not USPS

If you have these concerns or any others, please let me know them ASAP. Some things can be worked out in the process, but once a piece has been started, any changes or ideas may not be able to be added or modified.
