How to Commission a Piece
Commissioning Artwork: Step-by-Step Guide
Thank you for your interest in commissioning a custom piece of art. Below is an outline of the process to ensure a smooth and collaborative experience:
- Initial Contact: Please reach out via message, email, or the commission contact form. I will respond within 48 hours to confirm the details of your request.
- Details Needed: To get started, I will need as much of the following information as possible:
- Concept description
- Inspiration pictures
- Size of the artwork
- Preferred colors
- Personalizations or special requests
- Preferred date of completion
- Intended recipient or use of the artwork
- Shipping address and framing/mounting preferences
- Email for communication
- Estimate: Once we have a clear concept, I will provide a price estimate that includes taxes, shipping costs, and any other relevant fees.
- Preliminary Sketch: A $25 fee applies for a concept sketch, which helps us finalize the design before moving forward.
- Final Quote & Contract: After the preliminary sketch is approved, I will provide a final quote and a written contract outlining deliverables. A 50% non-refundable deposit is required to secure your spot and begin the work. Payments can be made via Zelle, PayPal, Venmo, check, cash, or card via www.samcoopart.com.
- Progress Updates: Once the deposit has been received and any additional samples/requests have been validated, I will begin work on the artwork. Throughout the creation process, I will send samples of the colors for approval and provide progress pictures/videos as appropriate.
- Completion & Delivery: Upon completion, I will send photographs and/or a video of the finished piece. Once you confirm satisfaction, the remaining 50% of the payment will be collected, and a shipping notification with a tracking number will be provided.
Timeline: Custom pieces typically take between 3 to 5 weeks, depending on the scope of the work.
A non-refundable 50% deposit is required to hold your spot; the remaining 50% required before delivery (tracking number will be provided).
If you have any questions or are ready to start the process, feel free to contact me. I look forward to creating something special with you!
