Commissions…

…Telling Your Story Through Art

Commissions are collaborations. That is why Chris will walk you through all of your options and maintain constant communication throughout the entire process. Below is an outline of the commission process along with some frequently asked questions.

Chris’s commissions are perfect for:

  • Celebrating a birthday, wedding, or anniversary

  • Honoring a pet or loved one

  • Commemorating a special occasion

  • If you’re artistically challenged with a big imagination

    1. After submitting your commission inquiry, you will receive an email response within 2 business days. This will answer your questions and set up a phone and/or email consult with Chris. Because Chris works primarily from photo, you’ll also receive instructions on how to create/find optimal photographic reference materials.

      2. At your consult, you and Chris will look together at any reference photos you have gathered/taken and discuss the best way to bring your commission to life according to your vision and budget.

      3. A down payment of 50% of the total price is required before a commission will be started. You’ll receive a contract to sign detailing pricing, timeline of completion, etc.

      4. When your commission is ready for review, Chris will send you photos of the progress.

      5. Chris will make any small revisions that are necessary, and send an updated photo for final approval. Once approved, the remaining balance is due.

      6. Your commission is shipped out for you to enjoy!

  • Pricing is determined by how much time Chris will need to create your work - this varies depending on the size, scope, and media of your commission. Chris offers options that fit all budgets - a quick sketch can start at as low as $50 and price scales up from there. During your initial consult, Chris will work with you to find the best option within your budget.

    • Any necessary sales tax and shipping costs will be added on to the price of the work.

    • At this time, we are only accepting PayPal transactions for all online orders.

    • Flexible payment plans are available and can be discussed during your initial consult.

  • -Charcoal on paper

    -Graphite on paper

    -Oil on linen

    -Digital media

  • Current turnaround time for a commission is approximately 8 weeks from start date. This time frame may vary based on the scope of your project. Commissions are completed on a first come, first served basis. If you have specific deadlines and/or need the work completed quickly, please be sure to communicate this during your consult.

  • Your completed commission will be carefully packaged and shipped within two business days of receipt of final payment. If you have a particular shipping preference, please communicate this in advance of shipment and we will be happy to accommodate.
