Commissioning Artwork & Business Logos
If you are interested in having a custom artwork created just for you, I do offer a limited number of comissioned orders each year.
How to commission an original artwork:
Pet Portrait:
You can commission a Portrait of your pet on paper or canvas. My portraits are not an exact 'photocopy' of your pet, but are unique PetCatures, in that they are my own wacky version of how >> I << see your pet and it's unique personality.
For best results, I will need at least 2 clear photos of your pet, including a good face shot, (send more if you have them!) If the good face photo is not the same photo as that of your favorite pose, haircut, toy, costume, etc. please send those as well and include a note if you want those things included in your portrait. Photos are returned with the completed artwork. Please also include a note with your pet's name, gender, and tell me a little something about them ~ traits, behaviors, etc. that make them stand out from your other pets, (It helps me to capture their personality!).
My Commissions Schedule:
I am often working on multiple projects and orders at any given time so if you'll be needing the portrait by a certain date, please email me prior to buying to be sure I can meet your timeframe.
The number of commissioned portrait openings I can fit into my schedule is limited. On the rare occasion I have an unexpected opening due to cancelation, small portrait openings will be auctioned HERE and will be awarded to the highest bidder.
If you would like to know more about reserving a portrait project on my schedule, simply contact me for more info.
Payment:
When commissioning ANY custom artwork, payment in full is due within 10 days of purchase. If payment is not received by the due date, your order may be cancelled and the opening will be offered to the next in line. (Especially if you do not respond to email). If your payment was not made due to extenuating circumstances, I'll be happy to have you order again at a later time when the circumstances have been resolved, IF you let me know right away.
I will email you with scans of the portrait sketches to be certain you approve of my plans to best capture your pet's personality. Upon completion, I will email you with images of the final artwork and I'll let you know when it's scheduled for shipment.
Copyrights:
I retain 100% copyright to all NON-logo custom art... My customers (portrait or otherwise) are purchasing the original artwork not the right to reproduce it in any form without my prior written permission.
I may decide to reproduce Non-Portrait custom art, however with portrait art, even though I reserve all copyrights, I do not make reproductions of your portrait available to the general public without your explicit permission, out of respect for the special bond you share with your pet. As a bonus for portrait customers, portrait art is often uploaded to a hidden area in my Cafepress store (created just for you) for private viewing only; (A private store where you can purchase your pet art on gifts and share the link with whomever you wish. It can only be accessed through the private link).
LOGO Art (i.e., Business Logos, Web Graphics, Event/ Concert Art, etc.
I offer custom logo creation for your animal-related business. Logos openings are limited by the number of projects on my schedule in any given season. When you order a custom logo, you receive a high-resolution digital copy of the finished logo. This enables you to not only put your new logo on a website, but to print it on anything from business cards and brochures to shirts and mugs. You will not own copyright to individual animal/breed caricatures, but you WILL own copyright to the final logo itself.

LOGO Design, Web Graphics, etc.:
Fees... My fees are now based on the value delivered, and no-longer on my time spent. I've made this change because it occurred to me that you should be charged for the value of the unique product you receive (just like with my commissoned portraits), rather than for the time it takes me to create the art for you.
HOW IT WORKS...
Getting a quote... Before providing a quote, I'll need you to send me an email, spelling out the details of what it is you would like me to design. Be as specific as possible about the details and the plans you have for the image (i.e. web-only, web and print, logo t-shirts & other gear, etc.). Once I have all the information needed, I'll write up a quote for the project along with a potential start date. If the quote is agreeable to you, you'll be invoiced for a $100 deposit which secures the project placement on my schedule.
In addition... I also offer Cafepress shop creation where you can buy and sell your new logo on various promotional items (applicable only on logo or licensed custom-designs) - Everything from t-shirts and aprons to mugs and postcards. Again, fees for this service are based on value delivered - how basic or how large you would like your store to be. If you're interested in such a service, we can discuss it further after the completion of your logo art.
