•I am interested in both commercial work and private commissions. I have done work on both types of projects.

•Before I begin working, I do require that you read and agree to the terms of service (TOS). This is to help with communication, so that both of us know what to expect out of the commission (prices, rights to the work, content, etc.). Note that my posted TOS only applies to private commissions.

•Inquiries are welcome at any time, but please be aware that an inquiry does not secure a commission. Availability depends on my current projects schedule. For news on when private commissions open, follow my social media, Patreon, or various art gallery sites.

•For private commissions, currently I am only taking digital illustration, drawings, and custom paints (found in my Etsy shop). I do not take sculpture commissions. On occasion, I will open up for alternate mediums (for example marker/ink, ACEO sized traditional paintings, mixed media, etc.), but I will assume illustration inquiries are for digital, unless I specifically state that I am open for traditional media.

•I am NOT interested in NFT or cryptocurrency related projects, and will ignore any inquiry related to this type of project.

•Being firmly against the exploitation of my fellow artists and my own art, this is a NO-AI zone. Using my art in your AI in any way will result in an immediate ban from interacting with myself or my art, along with any proper legal action that may be taken. I also do not intend to use AI in my art process, as I believe the current state of the data to be unethical. Whatever art you get from me is authentic, proudly human made, by my own hands.

•Below is a rough outline of the commission process (namely for private commissions):

1). First send an inquiry email. Let me know your name, what type of commission you're interested in (private or commercial, medium, the end use and/or size), how soon you will need it, visual references, and relevant details about your idea. I might send a few follow up questions to help determine if I can fit this into the schedule, and to make sure we would be a good fit.

2). Once I get a solid idea of your needs, if all of it sounds good to you, I will give you an estimate so that we can agree upon a price. I will send a "commission info" email which includes the contact info, commission idea, and the total. Along with the email, I will send a Paypal invoice. Payment is due by the set deadline. Payment confirms that all information is correct, and confirms that you agree to the TOS.

3). Updates will be sent through e-mail as often as possible and as necessary. For commissions under $100, I generally do not send work in progress sketches (WIPs). However, for commissions over $100, I like to show the client process sketches. Please be prepared to watch your email! Some projects may have stages which you need to approve, and this gives you an opportunity to revise it as needed.

4). Once you approve the final piece, all applicable final files and/or pieces will be sent. I will send you a larger high res file along with a smaller, internet friendly watermarked version. For traditional paintings, prints of digital pieces, and pendants/figurines, I will keep you up to date on when I ship. All shipping is done through USPS unless requested otherwise, and I generally like to put tracking on it whenever it is possible.

•If all of this sounds good to you, go to my contact page for contact info. I'm looking forward to hearing from you!
