Commissions Q&A
-
A commission is like renting an artist. You tell me what you’d like as the subject, color themes, size, orientation, etc. and I’ll work with your budget to make dreams come true!
Accepted Comissions;
Portraits; Individual, Pet, Family & Deceased Loved ones.
Concept Art, Character Art, Creature Design & Cover Art
Icons, Logos, Wedding Stationary & more!
-
Reach out to me with your ideas, reference photos and budget and we’ll work together to see what can be accomplished!
Once the details have been hammered out, a 50% down payment is required for the project to move forward.
A complimentary sketch will be drawn for your approval. During this stage you can request alterations.
After the sketch is confirmed the fun begins! I will dedicate the time allotted in your budget for this project to create a finished piece you can enjoy for years to come!
The rest of the cost will be due upon completion & before delivery.
-
Commissions are completed on a first come, first serve basis.
If there is a wait I’ll make sure to let you know before accepting.

I am well versed in both Watercolor & Graphite works.
If you commission a graphite piece it may include touches of pastel powders and will be sealed with a fixative spray for preservation.
Watercolor paintings are completed with professional grade Winsor & Newton on 300 lb cold press.
Watercolor tends to be the more expensive option due to the cost of materials.
-
Commissions will be completed in standard matting sizes either landscape or portrait to make framing simple and easy!
Actual image size will reflect the opening of standard matboards. Completed projects will be professionally matted and shipped right to your door!
Want to skip the work? I have standard sized frames available for extra cost & shipping fees.
Have a frame in mind? Send me it’s dimensions in advance and I can customize the piece to fit!
-
Once a project is completed, clients can request additional merchandise made with their new design; prints, stationary, mugs, etc. at an additional cost.
If you’re planning on booking a commission with additional merchandise in mind for a specific event or holiday please contact me in advance. This ensures reasonable expectations for production, pricing and shipping time. Thank you!
Examples; Wedding invites, birthday gifts, holiday stationary & more!
