The cost of all commissions will be assessed individually based on the size, media,
​and intricacy of the project, plus the cost of supplies when applicable.
If interested, please contact me via e-mail. Open to all projects from industry-level to private comissions. 

COMMISSIONS POLICY
​**PLEASE  READ  BEFORE  CONTACTING  ME  WITH  AN  INQUIRY**

Ordering a Commission

• Commissions inquiries should be sent via email. I will need a written copy of your commission request in order to deliver the best possible service. The more detailed your request is, the better chance you have of me doing exactly what you want. I will read your entire email and I will tell you if parts of it are unclear to me. You may also include sketches, reference images, and or inspiration imagery with your commission request to help me understand what you are looking for.

• I can not and will not duplicate any image for you exactly. If you would like me to do a painting of a photograph, I will do my best to get an extremely close likeness. However, artistic liberties may be taken to ENHANCE your provided image. Ex: Intensifying colors, cropping the image, moving elements around to improve composition.
•  You may not give me a picture/illustration done by another artist and ask me to copy it. At the request of a commission, I will give an estimate for the total cost of a commission. Pricing is based around time spent plus the cost of materials, with rates starting at $200, depending on size and complexity of the project . I do reference the Graphic Artist's Guild Handbook of Pricing & Ethical Guidelines for pricing work. 

 Image Ownership

• Paying for an image that I created does not mean that you own the rights to that image. U.S. copyright law states that the client may only use the work of art for the expressed purpose for which it was commissioned. If you, as the client, wish to own exclusive rights to the image, permission must be granted, in clear writing from the artist (me) and an additional cost will be included in that contract.

• This means that I as the artist, unless otherwise stated in a written contract, have the right to reproduce my work in any form.
• In the event that you do purchase the full rights to the image, you must still credit me as the artist.
• **IMPORTANT**: All of my work, regardless of rights purchased, is NEVER allowed to be used for any form of cryptocurrency/blockchain, including but not limited to NFTs. If you see my work online being used or minted for cryptocurrency/blockchain/NFTs, it has been stolen and is being used without my permission.

Working on your Commission

• I will send you samples of in-progress work whenever you ask and probably more often than you ask in order to make sure everything is going exactly as you wish it to.

• If at any stage during your commission, you cease communication for a period of more than six months, without first giving explicit notice of this hiatus, you forfeit any deposit, materials fee, materials, and rights to the in-progress work made on your commission. You may in the future order a new commission, which will begin from scratch, only if you do not owe me payment for prior time spent on a commission that had not come to fruition. 

• I reserve the right to refuse any commission for any reason. 

Payment & Delivery of the Final Product(s)

• At the start of a commission, I will ask for a down payment of 50% of the total cost. The final 50% will be required before/at final delivery.  
• Payment will be processed via Paypal invoice, in USD. 

• I will NOT send you the final image until I receive full payment. I will however, send you a preview of the final image via email in low resolution, not suitable for printing. Typically, my preview images are sent at 60 – 70 dpi. The sample image will also have a watermark placed over it to prevent theft. You do not own the image nor do you have the rights to reproduce the image until you pay for it in full.

• Once payment has been received, I will send you the full resolution image or painting or whatever it is you ordered, without watermark. If your image is digital, I can print it for you and mail it to you for an additional charge upon your request. If you have ordered a privately owned commission for home use only, you may also pick your final painting up in person, by request (DC/MD/ VA residents only).

• For digital images only, if after your commission has been completed you need more file types, resolutions, and sizes of your image which are smaller than the original (this includes cropped images, or images without text layers) I will provide these for a small charge for no less than six months, given that you own the rights to the image. If you are requesting more file types or image files for rights that you do not own, you will need to buy those rights from me, and a new contract and fee will apply. 

Refunds

• I do not offer refunds on anything. Not on materials, and not on the time spent working on the image or item. If you receive the final image and then ask to send it back to me for a refund, I have to assume that you have reproduced the image and are trying to steal it. If you do have any problems with the final image after you receive it, please contact me and I will work with you to resolve the problem until you are satisfied.

Again, I reserve the right to refuse any commission for any reason.

Thanks!!!
