Q: How much do you charge?
A: I use this semi-arbitrary and convoluted scale to give you an estimate. Every commission requires an amount of detail and cost of materials specific to its needs, so this guide is to give you in general idea rather than a specific quote. Here it is per square inch:
Monotone: $0.75 - $1.15
Full Color: $0.90 - $1.25
If you are interested in a logo or other promotional work where you'll require a full or partial copyright, it will be discussed per piece. Most logos range for $100-$300 and are given as a vector image.
If you are interested in a book cover or illustration and require a limited copyright for the printing of images licensed for that publication and promotional material regarding that publication, the rate scale is heavily dependent on the total amount of work desired. I reserve the right to sell the originals to a second buyer. However the right to print them will not be sold to a second buyer without author/publisher permission. Cover art (including album covers) generally ranges from $200 - $ 400. Illustrations start at around $200 per page and lessen the more pages you require. I do this to make children's books affordable.

Q: What mediums do you work in?
A: I work primarily in acrylic, pencil, ink & pastel. Occasionally the work necessitates a mixture of these or an experiment with new mediums upon inspiration or request. On the other side of the spectrum I do some work in Photoshop and Illustrator.
Q: How soon can I get my piece?
A: It depends on the size of your commission and my schedule at the time. Generally you can count on roughly 20 square inches per day. That is four days per an 8" x 10" piece.
