About my process:

For digital illustrated portraits, you will send me a photo you love which I can work from as a reference, and we will talk about style, color schemes, size, and any specific details you would like emphasized or de-emphasized, etc. I generally prefer to do portraits in either a realistic “oil painting” style or a colorful representational style (both pictured), but am open to other ideas. The final price of the piece will reflect the content as well as the size, printing and framing. I usually prefer to work with Hope & Feathers in Amherst, MA, who use archival ink in their printing process (guaranteed to last up to 200 years). There is the option to print onto gallery-wrapped canvas (ready to hang), or quality paper (gloss, matte or luster).

We will also discuss any relevant timeline and/or deadlines surrounding the project. Please keep in mind that the printing and framing process usually lasts between 2-3 weeks and allowing an additional week for shipping. I will then ask for a deposit of 25% of the total price we come to an agreement upon.

From there, I will start creating a first draft. I always check in with my client when I am partially through this stage, to make sure they are happy with the result so far. Once the first draft is complete, I will send it to you and we can discuss any changes you would like to be made. I include 2 rounds of revisions for free to make sure the client is satisfied with the final result.

At this point, I will send you can invoice for the remaining portion of payment. Once received, I will send the digital files to the printing and framing shop for the final stage. Once I receive the physical artwork, I will ship it to you insured via USPS or FedEx.
