Commissions

Commission Information

My schedule for commissions is quite limited and currently there is a waitlist.

If you are a company interested in publishing, merchandising or licensing however, please contact my licensing agent, Tate Licensing, with your proposal. While I do accept commissions and am happy to consider any freelance illustration opportunities, please familiarize yourself with my style before contacting me. I only accept commissions that are done in the style of my original work and do not do realistic portrait likenesses of people or create work in different artistic styles or mediums than what I use to create my original artwork. If you are looking for a piece that deviates from my style in any way, you should consider hiring an artist that normally works in the style and medium you are looking for. To secure your commission, I will first need to review your project's description to make sure it's something I can actually create for you. If your commission is approved, I will provide you a timeline for when you can expect the work to be completed and a 50% deposit will be required. A PayPal invoice will be sent to you for the deposit and once that invoice is paid, I can begin work on your piece according to the schedule. I am a full-time artist and at any given time I am usually working on commissioned projects, so I typically have quite a waiting list. Please be sure to contact me with plenty of time in advance of any deadline — a minimum of 3 months, but ideally 6 months. From conception to shipping I can usually finish a piece within a few weeks, depending on size and level of detail, but since I often have quite a few paintings queued up for gallery exhibitions, Disney, other commissions, and personal projects like Death & the Maiden, it can take some planning to fit new commissions into my schedule. 100% client satisfaction is my ultimate goal, so I want to be upfront about setting reasonable expectations for commission works. You are always welcome to reach out if you have a project that has a very short turn-around deadline, but be forewarned that it is likely that I won't be able to accommodate it (but you never know!). I first and foremost am a fantasy artist (gothic and faerie themes dominate most of my original work), and pieces in these genres will be given priority.

My current price guide is as follows:

Please do not ask for smaller paintings, or drawings, sketches, etc. This is a rough price guide based on a standard acrylic painting on masonite panel (my preferred medium - 99% of the paintings here on my site are painted in this manner). Prices listed include all materials (for acrylic paintings on masonite), multiple revisions as necessary, and insured Priority Mail or UPS shipping. Depending on the complexity of your commission, these prices may be subject to change, but I will let you know of any price changes when I review your commission proposal. At this time I am not accepting commissions for murals or any kind of "on-site" paintings. I do not design logos, do graphic design, or computer art - all of my work consists of original full-scale acrylic paintings. For privacy and security issues I will not paint models in person at my residence or elsewhere. I do offer significant discounts for commissions of multiple paintings. Please let me know if you are interested - I am very much a professional, and am excited to work with new people and ideas!
