Commissions

Commissions

Please get in touch if you would like to commission any artwork. I’m flexible as to the media and subject matter, so just let me know your preference.

Prices

Please note that all prices listed for artwork on this website exclude postage, and refer to unframed artwork unless otherwise stated.

    • Existing originals – Work is priced individually on the gallery page (or, if unlisted, please inquire).
    • Other products – Redbubble handles its own pricing and delivery, so please feel free to take a look at my page on Redbubble for further info.

… I am working on a standard commissions pay scale as shown in the PDF below. Please note this scale is both a work in progress and a rough indication only, since the amount of work required to complete any picture varies enormously depending on the detail level, background, subject and even the general technique used.

Pricing - 30-08-18

Prices stated for commissions also assume no specific costs have been incurred (such as being requested to work in a specific medium I do not possess and am required to purchase to complete the artwork). For mixed media work, please assume the more expensive medium for an indicative price estimate.

Ultimately, the price of each commission is negotiable, and will be agreed individually before starting work.

Finally please note that anything involving multiple layers of oil paints can take a very long time to complete, as an oil paint layer may take several weeks to dry enough to work over, and will not be fully ‘cured’ for at least 6 months to over a year after all painting is finished.

Originals

If you see any existing work you’re interested in within the gallery, again, please let me know.

However please note that some artwork – mainly large, unfixed pastels – may not be safe to post, or may require a frame for protection (so transportable but potentially expensive to do so).

Prints & Other stuff

Some indicative print prices are given in the PDF below. Print pricing - 10-09-18
NB Giclée printing on archival papers up to 44” is also available, but this needs pricing individually.

I have also signed up to Redbubble. Currently I haven’t loaded much onto the website, but if you are interested in acquiring any prints, greetings cards, stickers or various other products featuring artwork on this site, please do ask and, if possible, I will try to make it available for you to purchase via Redbubble.

Postage

Please note I currently only post within the UK. However, Redbubble handles its own postage (more information here), and so can manage international deliveries.

Also please note that artwork will only be sent once payment has cleared, and that no liability is accepted for loss or damage incurred to work during transit.

Indicative postal costs are below (updated on 10th June 2018) – but note that all postage costs will be calculated individually according to the order.

  • A flat A1 piece of work (framed or unframed) is likely to be a large parcel, with delivery costs:
    • Parcelforce Worldwide Express 48 (2 working days) – £12.12
    • Parcelforce Worldwide Express 24 (1 working day) – £16.68
    • Parcelforce Worldwide Express AM (by 12 noon on next working day) – £19.74
  • A single A1 poster in a tube, rolled along its shortest dimension, is likely to be a medium parcel with delivery costs:
    • 1st Class Royal mail service – £8.95
    • 2nd Class Royal mail service – £5.05
    • Proof of delivery (signed for packages) adds another £1 to these prices.
  • A single A2, A3 or A4 poster in a tube, rolled along its shortest dimension, is likely to qualify as a small parcel with delivery costs:
    • 1st Class Royal mail service – £5.50
    • 2nd Class Royal mail service – £2.95
    • Proof of delivery (signed for packages) adds another £1 to these prices.
  • A pack of 10 greetings cards in an A5 padded envelope, assuming ~2.5cm deep and weighing less than 2kg, qualifies as a small parcel with delivery costs as per the A4, A3 and A2 posters above.
  • Courier service – these generally quote prices individually for each delivery, and the few prices I was able to see quoted ranged between £60 and £120 (however this may vary considerably depending on the delivery location and courier used).
  • Other requests (such as certain tracking package options) – postage will be calculated on an individual basis.
