THE COMMISSION PROCESS
-
All commissions are processed via the commission form or via email. Emailed requests should please still answer all the questions in the form.
-
Using the information you provide, I'll calculate a price quote and send to you.
-
We'll chat via email or call (up to you) to ensure mutual understanding of your request. Depending on the nature of the commission, thumbnail sketches, a moodboard, or write-up may be sent and discussed.
-
A tentative date of issue, payment plan or any special terms (e.g licensing) are agreed upon and an invoice is generated to initiate the transaction.
-
Your artwork is created and preview images are sent to you for review. Agreed revisions are made, but any further revisions are at an additional cost.
-
The final artwork is track shipped to your address (if physical), emailed to you (if digital), or arrangeable for pick up by you or an authorized person. Original paintings will include a Certificate of Authenticity (physical or digital).
ART PRINTS
Art prints are reproductions of an artwork to be distinguished from 'originals' which are the first handmade works by the Artist.
Limited Edition prints are exclusive art prints which have a set number produced, signed, and numbered by me. Once they are sold out, they may rarely come back. These come on offer occasionally but may also be requested/inquired about via email.
