Commission Slot

from $15.00

Have you ever taken a picture of something really special… then felt like the photo didn’t do it justice?

That, my friends, is when you call an artist! I can work from photos or from life to create a work of art to celebrate a special person, place, or occasion. So give a one-of-a-kind gift this holiday season! (Or get yourself something, I don’t judge 🤗)

Right now (Oct-Nov 2025), I am opening two kinds of commission slots:

  1. Holidays 2025: Accepted commissions will be done and shipped by December 18, 2025, so that it arrives in time for Christmas. Available to US customers only.

  2. Spring 2026: Grab an early spot in my queue of spring artwork! I’ll be reviewing these requests after Christmas. Accepted commissions will be done and shipped by May 2026.

Select “Add to Cart” and use the form to tell me as much as you can about what you'd like me to make.

A refundable $25 deposit reserves your spot in line while I review your submission. I’ll then get in touch on whether I'm able to take on the project. If we decide to move forward, then the deposit will be credited toward your final commission price. If I can't take the commission, then the $25 will be refunded right back to you with my compliments!

Commission Policies

Product & Process

The Artist shall create a work of art according to specifications agreed upon in advance by Artist and Client in the Artist’s Commission Agreement, which shall be provided to the Client upon acceptance of their commission request. The work will be in the style of the artist but, as there are variations in the creative process, the Client accepts the artwork will be unique and therefore subject to reasonable variation.

Copyright

Artist reserves the copyright to all works commissioned by the Client that are created by the Artist, including all reproduction rights and the right to claim statutory copyright. No work may be reproduced or altered without the written consent of the Artist. Artist claims no copyright to any original photographs provided by Client.

Client Rights & Responsibilities

Overview

The Client is responsible for the following: 

  1. Providing initial commission details for artist review + $25 refundable fee

  2. Reviewing and signing the Artist’s Commission Agreement prior to Artist beginning the project

  3. Non-refundable deposit equal to 50% of estimated total price (including sales tax), due prior to Artist beginning the project

  4. Remaining balance equal to actual total price less initial deposit (including sales tax), due upon delivery/shipping of the artwork to the Client. 

  5. Costs of shipping the artwork. 

  6. Responding to communications from the Artist in a timely manner throughout. 

Requesting a Commission 

To secure a commission slot, the Client must provide commission details along with a refundable $25 fee. If the Artist accepts the commission, then the $25 fee will be credited toward the final cost of the commission. If the Artist declines the commission, then the $25 fee will be refunded to the Client. The Artist reserves the right to decline commissions for any reason.

Artwork Fee

The Fee for the artwork shall be calculated according to (1) the artwork size, and (2) expenses incurred for purposes of creating the artwork. The final cost shall be assessed after the completion of the artwork.

A non-refundable deposit equal to 50% of estimated total price is due prior to the Artist beginning work on the commission. The remaining balance, equal to actual total price minus the initial deposit, is due upon satisfactory completion and delivery of the artwork to the Client. 

Right to Review/Change Commission

The Artist shall provide up to three (3) preparatory sketches to the Client for approval prior to beginning the commissioned artwork. The Client may also request changes to the artwork size, medium/materials, or subject matter before the Artist procures the materials for the final artwork, with the understanding that changes to size, medium, or materials will result in changes to the final price. Requests must be made in writing and approved by the Artist. All sketches are the property of the Artist.

Right of Refusal

In the event that the Client does not wish to continue with the commission, they may request in writing to void the contract, and both parties will be released from any further obligations. In that case, the Artist will retain the refused artwork and the non-refundable deposit. The Client will not owe any additional fees to the Artist.

Returns

There are no returns once the Client takes possession of the artwork.
