Commissions<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Book covers, magazine pages, record sleeves, posters, and the odd very long wall. Here is how a commission works and what it costs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

How a commission works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From the first email to the final scan, most jobs take 3 to 5 weeks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Step 1<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tell me about it<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

What the picture has to do, where it will live, and when you need it. A rough budget helps too.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Step 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A pencil sketch within a week<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Two or three rough sketches, drawn to your layout, so we pick a direction before any paper gets cut.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Step 3<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One round of changes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Move a shape, swap a color, lose a bird. One round is included, and any more are quoted first.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Step 4<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final art as a scan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A high-resolution scan for print and screen, and the cut original, glued on board, if you want it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

What a commission costs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Starting prices in US dollars. Every job gets a written quote before I cut a single shape.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
