Typically, I do accept commission projects. Just drop me an e-mail with a short description of what you have in mind. I'm quick to respond, and will give you a general quote on time and cost if I am interested in the project. I have done commission work in the past, anything from buisness logos, portraits, tattoo designs (one of my favorites) etc. And most importantly, I am not opposed to taking several different approaches to a project to find exactly what you were looking for.

Let me give you a break down of what happens when someone commissions me, so you can decide if it's for you or not.

(#1) First, my patron e-mails me with a description of what they would like, along with any visual aid they may want to send which might help get their point across. A lot of people just send stick figure sketches or something like it to explain where they want everything positioned, color, etc.

(#2) Then I do a few concept sketches of the idea and e-mail them to my patron so they can tell me what they think, give me suggestions etc. I'll usually do a few character sketches, and then put it in the background described, to let them see how the painting or drawing is going to come together. I will do this until my patron is satisfied with how the sketches look and I get the go ahead to start the painting.

(#3) I usually require a down payment after I finish the sketches and before I start the painting, which is usually half of the quote I have given them. When I receive this, then I will start the painting.

(#4) I'll then e-mail my patron with the painting's progression, so they can make sure the color and everything else is turning out as they wish. When the painting is complete and my customer is satisfied, then I will ship their work after the last payment has been received.



Since I do work 2 jobs, it does take me a little longer to complete commissions than some other artists, so I am also willing to accept payments in smaller increments, say, maybe 4 payments of 25 for example throughout the painting's progress but if this is done, most of the time I require paypal payments. Mostly because I do get commissions regularly and regular mail takes up to a week and can bog me down if I'm waiting for payment to proceed with the painting/drawing.

Here are some examples of commission work done in the past.
