What are the steps involved in a commission?
1) Pay on the commission page here. If you have any additional questions feel free to contact me.
2) Email me (dacpublishing (at) gmail.com) a photo that you would like me to use as reference for the drawing. It is important to have a very good quality photo where I can clearly see the details of the car. You can send a few photos before booking the commission if you want my input. Sometimes I ask for extra photos to get a sense of color.
3) I will send you a jpg (digital photo) via email, of the artwork, and you can request changes if needed.
4) After we agree that the artwork is complete I will send the print or I will order the fabric and start the quilting phase. Once the artwork has been approved and prints or fabric have been ordered no more changes can be made.
How long will it take?
Animals take 4-7 days for the digital painting. I will start commissions in the order that they come in. Sometimes I have several commissions in line so it could be a few weeks before yours is started. The prints take 1-2 weeks to order and arrive. Art quilts take about 4-8 weeks. Please contact me for current wait times.
Do I get to choose the background?
For pet portraits, I draw the pet then experiment with a few colors seeing what I think complements the portrait best. Please share any color requests when sending your reference photo.
What if I don't like the artwork?
Before you purchase a commission it is a good idea to look at my other work. Make sure you like my style of drawing and the playful colors and patterns I use. While my work is proportionally accurate the representations are also highly stylized and often colorful. If you love my style then I am confident that you will love your custom piece. I will email you an image of the artwork before printing it, and if you have concerns we can address them. Making small tweaks to the artwork is no problem.
How do you create your artwork?
I created my own technique for designing repeating patterns and saving them. With a stylus pen, I hand draw the image using my saved patterns as the "paint". I use the photo you send me as a reference, but the photo is not in the final work of art- this is not a photo manipulated or “filtere” picture. After creating the digital artwork I print it on fabric and with my sewing machine I stitch all over the top with many colors of thread (usually about 30 colors).
Can I have a high resolution file and print my own prints, mugs, cards, etc?
I don’t give out my files but at your request I can upload the artwork to Redbubble a print on demand company and you will be about to purchase t-shirts, mugs, clocks, etc… featuring your custom artwork.
I do not sell my copyright on my artwork, but if you are a company interested in a licensing deal we can discuss that too.
Is my artwork exclusive to me?
I have chosen to keep my pricing accessible to as many people as possible and part of how I do that is I use the artwork I create for multiple purposes. For example I may use images of your commission for marketing, as prints, in future publications, and licensing. If you want a fully exclusive piece please request a quote.
Will you draw my Car, house, boat, office building, or something else?
Probably. I would be happy to look at your reference photo and let you know if it is something I can do and how much it would cost.
