HIGHLIGHTS
A 50% deposit with a signed letter of agreement gets the process started. This signals to us we can confidently block out design time in the design schedule, making that time automatically unavailable to other potential clients.
The remaining balance is due upon completion of each scheduled milestone payment to help you keep track of your project’s progress.
- Turn around time is three-weeks minimum for one illustration depending on the complexity of the project and the schedule. If you need your artwork sooner, we can sometime accommodate you. Rush fees are 100% of the final fee.
- Commercial illustration fees are in line with the "Graphic Artists Guild Handbook: Pricing & Ethical Guidelines," local markets for custom design work, complexity of the artwork, clients’ timeline, usage rights and calendar availability.
- A single flat fee per project.
- No hourly fees* - except for on-site projects, travel fees and change orders.
- Original art remains the property of the Artist. The ARTIST retains and owns ALL of the copyright for the painting and its derivatives unless expressed otherwise in the final written agreement. Exclusivity in perpetuity is not available as our shop earns revenue through licensing deals.
- Exclusivity for a limited period ( 2-5 years) is sometimes available, at premium fees (up to 300%+ of the final project fee) for certain licenses or all usage - on a case by case basis.
Alternatively, if an illustration or artwork from our portfolio, the art shop, the blogs, or social media posts catches your eyes, let’s talk. We’re happy to discuss licensing options. Licensing fees varies depending on the rights requested.
