The Process
To start the process, please email me your proposal with as much information as possible about the project. This includes commission type, size, imagery, colors, and any additional preferences you have. If you don’t have a specific idea yet, just let me know what elements are the most important to you and I can help you figure out what will work best with your idea.
If you have any reference photos, please attach or link them in your email. References to my own work are especially helpful in letting me know how you would like your commission to look! If the project is something that we decide to move forward with, I will need a signed contract and 50% deposit before work can begin.After receiving your deposit and signed contract, I'll create a sketch and send you a photo. I’ll then make a more refined sketch based on your feedback to the initial sketch. I’ll send you a photo of this second sketch to make sure we are on the same page, and then start the final piece upon your approval. If your piece is in color, I will provide a color palette or color reference for you to review before I begin. Once I start working on the final it’s not ideal to make changes, so please let me know your thoughts during the sketching phases! If you need to make changes after the final is complete, it will cost an extra $100 per hour. When the artwork is completed, I'll send it to you and make sure you’re happy. If your commission is digital art, I will send you a print ready file for your final product. For custom hats, shipping is free within the United States. I put a lot of time and energy into every piece of art that I create, and I appreciate your patience while I work on your art. If you have a strict deadline please give me weeks in advance and let me know the deadline at the beginning.

Important Information
Pricing
Pricing for commissions will be based on multiple factors including size, media, style, design complexity, etc. My minimum for custom work is $200, but please keep in mind that your price may be higher depending on the detail and complexity of your concept.
Your quote will be based on what we discuss during the proposal phase, and the process outlined above. Adding elements not discussed during the proposal, requesting extra edits during the sketch phase, or requesting changes after I've begun the final piece may increase the total price. If you make a request that will increase the quoted price, I’ll make sure to let you know before moving forward.
Deposits & Cancellations
I require a 50% non-refundable deposit before any work begins. If you no longer want the commission at any point in the process, you may cancel the commission, but I will keep your deposit. If at any point in the process I try to communicate with you and don’t hear back within 15 days, I will assume that you are no longer interested and your commission will be canceled.
