Thinking about a custom painting?

This guide outlines what I'm offering and provides a sense of what you can expect from the process. If you're interested in moving forward, please fill out the questionnaire linked at the end.

Pricing

Below you'll find approximate prices based on the standard offerings.

I will quote a custom price based on each client's particular desires, but this should provide a framework to help determine what size and budget you're looking for.

How Is Pricing Calculated?

In Short:

Time + Experience + Quality

Drawing on two decades of experience working as a professional illustrator, I’ve set my prices to reflect the value of my time and talents while keeping custom artwork accessible to a budget-conscious collector.

I strive to balance affordability for the client while compensating myself fairly as a professional artist, which is why I offer custom payment plans on request.

step 1

Agreement

After receiving your questionnaire, I will offer a custom price quote and estimated timeline based on your requests.

Once we have reached an agreement, we can move on to the deposit.

step 2

Deposit

A non-refundable 50% deposit is required before work begins on the project.

  • This serves as both contract for the assignment and financial compensation for my time in the event the client disappears or chooses to terminate the project before completion.

  • The second half of the payment will be due upon approval of the final artwork, before shipping.

  • Custom payment plans are available upon request and must be agreed upon in writing before work commences.

step 3

Sketches

I will ask you to provide any reference materials (photos, descriptions* etc.) needed for the project. at which point I will create two (2) color concept sketches for you to choose between.

The pricing includes one (1) round of revisions at the sketch phase to determine the overall composition and colors. This is the last stage at which changes can be made.

Any additional revisions will be charged at $25/revision.

* If you only have a general idea in mind, I'm happy to offer my own suggestions.

step 4

Final Art

When a composition has been selected, I will begin work on the final artwork.

At this stage, no further changes can be requested.

Once art is completed, I will digitally scan and share the final image for client approval.

Step 5

Final Payment & Shipping

Once final art is approved, I will submit a second invoice for the final payment,* including shipping costs. As soon as the payment clears, I will ship the artwork and it will be yours!

*unless a custom payment plan has been previously agreed upon.

The Details

  • Timing

    A standard commision requires 4-6 weeks for completion from the time deposit is made.

    If artwork needs to be delivered in less time, please indicate that in the questionnaire below: a rush fee will be added to the overall price and calculated on a case-by-case basis.

  • References

    Please provide all relevant reference photos and a detailed description of what you have in mind.

    PLEASE NOTE: I will not reproduce copyrighted imagery, nor recreate the work or style of other artists.

Shipping

  • Shipping is the financial responsibility of the buyer and will be added to the final price of the commission.

  • Shipping pricing will be included on the invoice and final payment must be received before artwork is shipped.

  • All work is carefully packaged and shipped flat and unframed.

Due to high shipping costs and risk of damage, I do NOT provide framing services for commissions.

If you need to get the artwork framed by a specific date, please consider this in your estimated timeline so I can be sure to deliver the artwork within a reasonable window.
