Illustration Rates & Terms

Latest Updated 3/16/2005

I am available to do artwork on commission! This web page gives you an idea of my rates. Sometimes I have to turn jobs down when I'm too booked up, so please email me first.

Terms

1) I require half payment in advance, and a signed letter of agreement promising that the other half will be paid immediately on reciept of the final art. Payments can be by check, money order, PayPal, or direct bank transfer, and are non-refundable. Please negotiate with me through email before sending me anything.

2) I provide preliminary sketches so that you can request any major revisions before I've started on the final. I will do 1 round of *minor* revisions after the original is complete, if necessary, at no further cost.

3) I pay shipping and any other incidental charges.

Sample Rates

These are my standard rates, assuming that you're buying both the original art and all reprint rights. Email me for rates on other media and sizes. If I keep the original art (for sale to collectors), or if you only buy one-time printing rights, or if you offer a royalty on the sales of the printed product, then we can negotiate lower prices. I do all of my work on bristol paper unless otherwise specified.
