How a commission moves

in four parts

Four steps,
organized and transparent.

Each commission is unique, so the price and time it takes to complete vary. But we have a standard process.

01

Your photograph

You send the image. A few lines or a long message, the story of why it stopped you. Nothing is too small to mention.

02

The conversation

We talk it through. Why this one. Which parts you keep coming back to. Where it will live once it is done. I ask more than you might expect, because the work and the quote both depend on the answers.

03

The piece itself

I build it up in layers and stop when it is right, not before. When I believe it is done, you are the first to see it.

04

Approval and delivery

You look. You tell me if something is off. Once you approve and settle the balance, the piece leaves my hands for yours.
