Comissions

Are you looking for a one of a kind, custom drawing or painting? Something meaningful, personal and created especially for you? A commission piece can be a portrait, landscape or other subject matter that makes an amazing gift or heirloom, that can be cherished for years to come.

I would be happy to discuss your ideas with you and create a custom piece that meets your specifications. If you would like to schedule a time to talk plase fill out the form below with some times that would be conveinient for you, and we can discuss the options available.

Commission FAQS

What types of custom art do you do?
I can produce any type of art that you may be interested in. I specialize in graphite drawing, but I love oil paint as a medium. I have over the years used many type of mediums, even as a commercial illustrator I have used mixed media to arrive at final imagery. 

I’m interested, how do I get started?
1. First, submit your info on the no-obligation “Schedule a Call” commission form above.
2. Next, we’ll schedule an introductory phone call to discuss your ideas.
3. Then, when you’re ready to move forward, you’ll put down a deposit and we’ll get started!

What happens after that?
Following our initial conversation, I will ask you to forward photos of the subject/person/pet. I will develop some sketch composition options and present them you for review. Once the details are agreed upon, I’ll begin the work on the final art. When possible I will also include progress photos of the work as I go, which also become a nice addition to the final art when completed.

How long does a commission take?
The timing varies for each painting/drawing, depending upon the desired size, medium, subject matter, and complexity, as well as my current schedule. If you have a specific event and date that you’d like the art for, I’ll do my best to accommodate your needs. 

How much does a custom art cost?
Commissioned art has several advantages. It is customized specifically for you and you’ll get to personally be a part of my creative process. However, due to the nature of a commission, the price is slightly higher than buying art that’s already completed.

A 50% deposit of the total price is required to secure your booking before I begin your art. The final 50% is due upon completion.
