concerning commissioning of your portraits. I will update this
page from time to time to help answer more FAQ's.
1. The first step is to e-mail me with your intention for a
portrait, and any questions you may have that this website has
not addressed.
2. Next, select a photograph for me to work from. Keep in mind
the pose you wish, make sure it is clear, and well lit ( plenty of
highlight and shadow). Mulitple photos are helpful, but I can
and frequently only work from one.
3. After this I can provide you with a mailing address to send
photos, or you can e-mail me with digital/ scanned photos.
Note: if you intend on sending a digital image I do require a $10
deposit, for photos sent to me through postal mail I do not,
because the pictures themselves will be your deposit. When I
ship your completed portrait, your undamaged photos will be
sent back with it, and that is included in my shipping.
I accept payment in the form of Paypal ( I will send you the
account address if you wish to pay this way) Western Union,
Cashier's ( most cases personal) checks, and Money orders. ( I
am working on other online payment options as well)
4. Once I complete the portrait I will e-mail you a scan of your
artwork and request final payment. Once I receive payment I
will send you the portrait along with any photographs that you
have sent, for you to enjoy!
portrait varies depending on payment
method, whether you mail me
photos,or email them, etc. Usually no
more then 3 weeks but it is not
uncommon to have your portrait
much faster. It also depends on my
current workload, but before I accept
any commission, I will work with you
to satisfy any time needs that you
may have in mind!
