PRICING - Starting from $225+HST (shipping included)

​

When reaching out for accurate pricing, please include the following:
 

• Which Portrait Style (from above) you are interested in

• Include the photo that you would like me to use in creating the piece (if possible) otherwise, you can send it later.

• Any notes you think are helpful (specific markings, etc.)

​

PHOTO SELECTION

It is important to choose a good quality image in order to get the best result. One thing to keep in mind - the artwork will look like the photo (minus the background), but illustrated. It is favourable to select an image that works well as a portrait (sitting up straight as opposed to laying down or rolled over). Blurry or low-resolution images are harder to work with because it can be hard to make out the detail in the eyes and that is one area that I feel can make or break a portrait.

​

Here are some samples of ideal vs not as ideal images, and hopefully they can help you in your image selection.

I do understand that sometimes it can be difficult to track down the perfect photo, so by all means if there is a photo that you absolutely love that is on a weird angle or cut off, I can work with that as well, but the final piece will look the same.

SIZE

The standard quoted price will include a print - any size up to 12"x16". I do suggest picking a common frame size. Larger sizes are available, but I will have to get a custom printing quote.

 

The most common sizes I see chosen include 8"x10", 8.5"x11", 11"x14", 12"x16" OR Square 8"x 8", 10"x10", 12"x12".

TIMELINE

Timelines fluctuate during the year, so it's best to reach out and let me know what your ideal timeline is and I will do my best to make it work.

 

Leading into September/October, bookings for the holidays fill up quickly, so please keep that in mind if you are thinking of holiday gifts.

Estimated completion times are also dependent on the communication back and forth during the approval stages of the piece. I usually base my estimates on a 1-2 day reply after I've sent over the artwork/edits.

​

DEPOSIT

To secure a spot, I do ask for a 50% non-refundable deposit to schedule the piece. The other half and shipping (if required) are due at the end of the project. I kindly ask that the final payment be sent before I ship out the final piece, unless you are picking it up, in which case you can choose to pay upon pick-up.

​

SHIPPING

Free shipping in Canada. Local pick up in Hamilton is also an option. ​Over sized pieces may be subject to extra shipping costs.

​

THE PROCESS

1. From the provided photo, I will draw the black and white line work of the piece.

2. I will send the image to you for approval. If you require any revisions, I will make those and send it back again for approval.

 

3. Once approved I will move on to colouring. 

​

4. I will send you the coloured artwork. If you require any colour revisions, I will edit and send it back again for approval.

​

5. Once the colouring is approved I will send it to the print shop. 

 

Note: the final piece is a signed print due to my process.

 

Since it is a signed print, additional copies are available for $10+hst each (for sizes up to 12"x16").

​

6. Once received back, I will sign and package the piece and ship it out. If you prefer to pick it up locally in Hamilton, we can arrange a pick-up date and time.

​

7. I will also provide a digital copy that you can use for your computer, phone, wherever, as long as it is for personal use and not used commercially. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this.

​

*PLEASE NOTE*

+ Edits that require moving back a stage (ie. editing the original drawing once we've moved on to colouring), will incur an additional charge based on the edit requirements. Please be mindful when sending back feedback and approvals to help avoid unnecessary charges. 

​

Please don't hesitate to ask for clarification regarding the two items above if there is any uncertainty.
