Interested in Custom Work?

What is a commission? According to www.picturethisgallery.com it is: "To order an original work from an artist." It is custom artwork that I do for you!

Do you want one?? Well you're in luck! I do, in fact, do commission work. I do it all the time. I've set up this page specifically to address the shpiel that I usually send to people who are interested in getting a commission from me. Most of them...well, in so far all of them, want a commissioned piece that will serve as a tattoo. So if you're looking for that, you've got the right place! If you just want a piece of kick-butt art, you've still come to the right place!

So here's a breakdown of the details:

How much does it cost

I charge a base fee of $100 for a completed commission. First you'll send a $25 deposit. I'll complete the piece and send you a preview. If you don't like it, you can walk away. If you do like it, I'll send you the finished piece and you'll pay the remaining $75. Depending on what you need the price will go up from there. (For isntance, if you need more than one piece done, we can work out a discounted price. I've done a 3-piece series for about around $250.)

What methods of payment do you accept?

Just paypal at the moment.

How will you send me the final result?

I'll draw the actual piece on an 11 inch by 17 inch piece of paper. I'll then take it to Kinko's and make a high-quality, high-resolution scan of the whole piece (at no charge to you!). I'll then e-mail it to you. This way, you can do whatever you like with the result. Print it out on your own computer, take it to Kinko's yourself and make a high-quality print, or whatever.

How long does it take to complete a piece?

About 2-3 weeks.

Can you start on mine right now?

Maybe. Usually there's a line. As of the time of writing I have at least three people in the queue. That's about a month of waiting time. If you're willing to wait a month before I can start on yours, then let me know and I'll get you in the queue! (Soon, I plan to have a list of who's signed up, so you can know how long the wait is)

What will you do with the tattoo after you make it?

Unless you feel very strongly about me not showing the tattoo, I'll post it here on my site. I'll most likely change it (adding a background, other things that wouldn't lend itself well to a tattoo). Let me know explicityly beforehand if you DON'T want me to post it anywhere

OK already!! How do I request one?!
