Art Commissions!

Respect. _{Respect is a two way street, and I start off each communication as respectfully as I expect to be treated. I am a person, with a real life, family and hobbies I enjoy. I understand that others do too! Because of that, I will never seek to make someone feel bad if they miss a message, or forget information, or make requests for changes (more on that below). This is your character, your piece, your money. There is no judgement here.}

Prompt communication. _{My work week is Friday-Monday. You'll find my work hours listed further down. It is my goal to respond to questions and other messages within 24 hours during my workweek and within 48 hours over the weekend (Tuesday-Thursday). Please keep this in mind as this schedule is set and firm to provide balance between work and family. I appreciate your understanding on this point.}

Professionalism. _{I don't judge or discriminate for any reason. If you request something that may seem "odd" or "controversial", you won't hear anything less than professional questions or discussions from me. If it comes to be something I'm not comfortable with or won't work, the topic simply ends there. I do not shame, harass, gossip or share personal information with anyone else. This is a safe place for EVERYONE. And I really do mean everyone.}

A lot of questions... _{This part is a little hard for me at times, as it feels like I'm going overboard with questions, but at the end of the day my goal is to give you a piece of art that matches your visions and to do that, I may need to ask a bunch of questions. You'll find more details on what I expect for information below.}

Respect. _{To put it simply; if you are the type of person who thinks that because I spend my time "drawing pretty pictures", that I should just bend to your every whim the moment you say so... I'm going to tell you right now, we are not going to work. I have a life and family and business hours. You can find those listed under the Commission page. I respect your time, and I expect my time to be respected as well.}

Prompt communication. _{For me, this just means I expect that you'll get back to me within two days of me asking a question. It also means that you understand that if you delay in responding to a question or concern, that it will push your completion date back a little. I have no problems taking a little more time on something due to delays, so long as everyone is on the same page that unanswered questions can lead to slight delays.}

Maturity. _{My rules and expectations are here, along with FAQ, I expect those that would commission me to read these things and understand them. If something is not addressed anywhere on here, then by all means, message me! I want to make sure everything is clear before anyone tries to buy. If something upsets you, I expect you to come to me like the mature adult I know you can be so we can come to an understanding, agreement or compromise to find the best solution for you and me.}

The customer is not always right. _{That can be harsh to hear in this day and age, but it's true. Just because **Artist A **can do this thing, does not mean I can. My skill level may not be the same, or my skills in general may be different. My style may not be the same, etc. If you can get "better work" for "cheaper", I absolutely encourage you to go commission that artist! That's really awesome, and I'm happy for you and them. Degrading my work will not get you a discount.}
