Do I need to pay a downpayment before you begin drawing or painting?Yes. I require a 30%, non-refundable, down payment before I begin any commissioned drawing or painting. For simpler graphics designs, I don't require a downpayment.
-
Do you charge by the square inch?No. My prices are based on the time it will take me to complete a piece and the cost of the materials I will use.
-
How long does it take you to complete a commission?Normally, it take 2-5 days for me to complete a drawing. Acrylic paintings require, at least, 3 extra days of drying time before I can apply the final coats of varnish.
-
Does your work come in a frame?Yes. Commissioned pieces, up to 16x20, that are drawn on paper come in a basic glass frame. The price of the frame is included in the cost of the work. Drawings that are larger than 16x20 require more expensive frames so the cost of those drawings is slightly higher. Prints of my work can be ordered with or without a frame depending on the supplier.

Do you show me a sketch of the drawing to review before you make a final drawing or painting?Yes. After you make the initial deposit, I will show the initial sketch to you before I add color, shading and details. I also share updates about the progress of each drawing or painting.
