Commission types
Personal
Art created for an individual for home display - this can also include display in an office/place of business, as long as it is not used or meant as an advertisement.
These do NOT include license to sell or reproduce.
Commercial
Art used in advertising or sales
“Commercial use” includes, but is not limited to: advertising, visual branding, and graphic design, book illustrations, web design, and more.
Terms and Conditions
All sales are final
There are many opportunities to communicate about changes while the commission is in progress (colors, placement of elements, etc.).
Once the commission is finished and approved, there will be no refunds.
Revisions
Typically, I will send the client a photo at each stage (sketch, line art, base colors, shading, finishing touches, etc.) and allow for revisions at each of those points.
This means there are at least 4 to 5 opportunities for revisions (but probably more)
Payments
Payments must be sent through one of the approved methods
- PayPal
- Venmo.
If you are local, cash or card may also be an option - No checks.
Price must be paid in full before receiving the final artwork.
Pricing
Some projects (like pet portraits) have set pricing tiers, others (design, watercolor, etc.) are priced hourly.
I will provide an estimate once the client has given a detailed commission request.
Cancellations
Sometimes things happen and you have to cancel and while I understand, unfortunately, I will still have to charge a fee to cover the time already spent on the project.
- If the client cancels prior to the stated delivery date (agreed upon at purchase) there will be a 25% cancellation fee.
- For cancellation within 5 business days of the delivery date, the client is responsible 100% of the fee and any expenses incurred.

- The artist reserves all rights of reproduction and copyrights of personal commissions – personal subjects (individuals, pets, etc.) will not be reproduced.
