I regularly work on commissions, portraits, and custom paintings, and am happy to consider any free-lance illustration or design opportunities. I require 50% of the total up front to cover material costs and as a deposit. I always email a scan of the finished work, and make as many revisions as necessary before the final payment is due. 100% client satisfaction is my ultimate goal. 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 since I do occasionally have a waiting list (particularly around holidays). From conception to shipping I can usually finish a piece within a few weeks, depending on size and level of detail. 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. Please familiarize yourself with my style before contacting me - I mostly accept commisions that are done in the style of my original work.
My current pricelist is as follows:
12"x16"............$2000.00
16"x20"............$2250.00
18"x24"............$2800.00
24"x30"............$3200.00
24"x36"............$3500.00
36"x48"............$5400.00
**AT THIS TIME I AM NOT ACCEPTING COMMISSIONED PROJECTS FOR PAINTINGS SMALLER THAN 12"x16".** Please do not ask for smaller paintings, or drawings, sketches, etc. This is a rough pricelist based on a standard acrylic painting on a sheet of flat canvas (my preferred medium - 99% of the paintings here on my site are painted in this manner). I prefer working on canvas sheets and prefer shipping them rolled for safety and to save on shipping costs. If you are planning on having the canvas stretched later on, just let me know - I will add a couple of inches around the edges to make room at no additional cost! I will, if absolutely necessary, work on stretched canvases, gallery wrapped canvases, wooden panels, masonite, etc., but there will be an additional fee for material costs and shipping costs will be significantly higher for stretched canvases or masonite and are not included in the prices listed. Prices listed include all materials (for acrylic paintings on canvas sheet), multiple revisions as necessary, and insured Priority Mail shipping (for acyrlic paintings on canvas sheet). At this time I am not accepting commissions for murals or any kind of "on-site" 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!
****PLEASE NOTE: I currently am BOOKED UP for commissions through LATE 2010. If you are interested in hiring me for a custom painting/portrait, I can put you on the waiting list for late 2010 or after. I know that is a long time from now, and I am sorry, but I have accepted a lot of commissioned paintings and illustration projects and have to fit everybody in somehow!*****
