My Process
Step 1: Let’s Get Acquainted
Tell me about your project, your objectives, scope, deadlines, budgets, etc. If we’re a good match for each other, and when we decide to move forward, I’ll put together an agreement outlining the scope of the project.
Step 2: Start Sketches
Once we have a clear understanding of the project, we proceed with the first round of sketches. And bring on the feedback! Let’s make sure you’re happy with them too, to avoid any major changes later on.
Step 3: Final Touches
We’ve chosen to go with one of our sketches, and now begin finalizing the illustration. Once I have coalesced all moving pieces, I’ll send it to you for review. Here, there’s room for minor changes, such as colours, slight compositional changes and any other small details.
Step 4: Finish Line!
We’ve put on the final touches, ensured that you are satisfied, and now we’re done! I hope you’ll enjoy this process just as much as I will working with you!
FAQs
How much do you charge for personal commissioned pieces?
A safe bet, is to have at least $250 to start. An even safer bet, is just talk to me. Tell what you’re thinking.
How much do you charge?
That depends entirely on the project, complexity, scope, timeline, extent of use, etc. Have at least $250.00 – $500.00 to start, and have your project details ready when we start discussing your project.
Do you ever work for free?
Nope.
Do you give discounts to not-for-profit clients?
It really depends on who you are, and if your values are in line with my own. (Maybe you’re an awesome dog shelter looking for some awesome dog posters to sell for charity? Then probably. But let’s chat first.)
What's your payment structure?
I charge a flat rate for projects, not hourly (except for certain cases). I’ll request a 50% deposit on projects before commencement, and the final 50% before I deliver the final files. I accept interac e-transfer, cheque, credit card* and paypal*.
(*additional charge of 3% of final invoice)
What's your cancellation policy?
Your deposit is non-refundable, so make sure you want to proceed with a project before paying the deposit. Depending on the percentage of the work completed after that deposit, I’ll also charge additionally for that.
Project Inquiries
Ready to take the next step? Get in touch through the project inquiries form below.
Please include as many details of the project below. If you don’t know what to say, don’t worry; I usually have a few questions I’ll ask you to make sure I understand the full scope of the project you have in mind. Once I have all the details that I need, I can then put together an estimate and full scope of work, as well as appropriate timelines that work for both parties.
