| Thanks so much for your interest in my work!  If you're interested in hiring me to create something for you -- be it a simple, one-page sketch or an "all out" full-color painting or drawing -- please do not hesitate to contact me. I am always open to inquiries, and can provide you with a competitive rate based on the complexity of the work and the time and materials involved.  I'm also able to digitally restore/retouch your photographs; some examples can be found here. I currently work full-time at a film studio -- in a job that has rather challenging hours.  I am happy to take on other projects when available, however.  I will always be upfront in discussing any of your anticipated schedules and deadlines. I often receive offers for work on a deferred payment basis.  After much personal experience in these matters, I've found that such agreements simply aren't feasible or reliable.  In all cases, I require a written contract before commencing any preliminary work, with a partial upfront, non--refundable payment for retainer, and to cover any initial material expenses.  Further payments are arranged on either a weekly basis, or by an itemized progression of the work agreed upon in advance. For any work of a public or commercial nature, additional fees for licensing, distribution, and reproduction of the work will be required, and must be detailed in a written contract prior to the project's commencement. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.  I look forward to hearing from you! |
