Commissions & Custom Art

What kinds of custom art can you do?
I can create personal commissions, commercial illustration, logos and graphic design, storyboarding, cartoons, etc.

What don’t you do?
I don’t do murals, or anything directly on custom surfaces (pinstriping, etc.). I am not a caricature artist. I don’t do tattoos, but I can create designs for them. Also, I prefer to work in my own style, so please don’t ask me to use a different one.

Can you create a portrait of a person or pet in Day of the Dead style?
Yes.

How long do portraits take?
Depending on the size and any revisions involved, I like to budget around 2–3 weeks from start to finish of a project.

What is the final product?
A high quality gallery wrapped, ready-to-hang canvas stretched over a wooden frame.

What is the process?
I work from a photo (or photos) emailed by clients. Proofs of every step of the project will be shown for approval to ensure satisfaction. It’s ideal if they are high resolution.

Can I choose colors or details in the portrait?
Yes. You can have as much control of the look as you want. Otherwise, I will use my imagination to do what looks best.

What is the pricing for portraits?
Base pricing is as follows. Extra detail and complexity will entail more time and a higher price. Changes made after approvals are given will be additional charges.

  • 11 x 17”—$600
  • 14 x 22”—$1,000
  • 16 x 20”—$1,000
  • 18 x 24”—$1,400
  • 20 x 26”—$1,600
  • 19 x 29″—$1,800
  • 24 x 30”—$2,300
  • 23 x 35″—$2,800

Any discounts for multiple portraits?
Sorry, no. More work is more work.

Can I have more than one person/figure in the portrait?
Yes. More subjects increases the time involved and will entail a higher fee.

How is payment handled?
I accept credit card, Paypal, Venmo, and Apple Pay. A nonrefundable 50% deposit is required to start, with the remaining balance due upon the project’s completion.

What about pricing for other types of projects?
Please email your project details for an exact quote. Either a flat fee or hourly rate will apply.
