PHASE 1 - Getting Started

1. Inquiry: Fill out my New Project Intake Form at the bottom of the page

2. Proposal: I’ll review your request and get back to you within 2-3 business days

3. Letter of Agreement: We’ll both sign a document confirming scope, timeline, usage rights, and payment terms

4. Deposit Invoice: A 50% deposit is required to start work. Once paid, the fun part begins!

PHASE 2 - Making the Art

1. Collaboration Call: If needed, we’ll hop on a call to brainstorm and make sure we are on the same page

2. Sketch Stage: I’ll share rough sketches and color palette for feedback. In this first round of revisions, big changes are welcome

3. Final Artwork Stage: I’ll share the fully rendered artwork for review. At this stage, revisions are limited to small adjustments

4. Additional Revisions: Two rounds of revisions are included, one at the sketch stage and one at the final artwork stage. If needed, additional rounds are available for a fee

PHASE 3 - Wrapping Up

1. Final Invoice: I send an invoice for the remaining 50% balance

2. Delivery: Once final payment is received, I’ll deliver your final files or physical artwork
   
   And that’s it. Straightforward, collaborative, and no surprises!

Every project is unique! Project cost reflects the time, skills, and materials required to create your original artwork. Factors like size, complexity, and intended use all come into play.

Generally speaking, pricing follows this formula:

Project Cost = Artwork Creation Fee  + Licensing Fee (commercial use only)

To give you an accurate quote, include as much detail as you can when filling out the form. I’ll review your submission and be in touch soon

When you commission artwork, you are paying for the creation of the artwork itself and specific usage rights, not full ownership. All artwork remains the intellectual property of the artist unless otherwise specified in writing.

By default, commissioned artwork is licensed for personal use such as displaying it in your home, giving it as a gift, or using it on personal invitations.

If you intend to use the artwork commercially (think merchandise, marketing, or packaging) a separate licensing agreement and fee is required. Licensing fees are scoped to your intended use, so the cost scales with things like geographic distribution, number of uses, and duration. The goal is to pay for the license terms you need and not more!

Not sure which category you fall into? Just describe your intended use in the intake form and I'll help figure it out.

Every project is different, and timelines depends on factors like project complexity and my current workload. A realistic schedule will be confirmed in your Letter of Agreement before work begins.

When filling out the New Project Intake Form, please mention any deadlines, including when you need the final deliverables in hand. I'll let you know upfront if I can accommodate them!
