PROCESS
The commission process requires a great deal of collaboration up-front. Once under way, your level of involvement is up to you. Here is an overview of the process:
1. IMAGE
I will create a visual strip showcasing 5-10 potential compositions and send them to you via email for review and approval.
2. INFORMATION
Simultaneously, I will send you an email questionnaire to gather more information about the piece we are creating.
3. SOURCING
If your commission involves collage, I will email you a visual layout of the proposed collage composition, with a detailed explanation of each element for your review and approval.
4. CREATION
Once the composition is chosen, and (if applicable) the collage elements are approved, I will begin creating.
4. UPDATES
You can choose to receive frequent visual updates by email throughout the process.
5. APPROVAL
I will send a visual preview of your painting for approval, prior to signing.
6. RECAP
The completed process will be outlined in-depth, featuring photos, commentary and a time lapse video. You can choose to share the post on my site, or keep it private.
