Commercial For commercial work, such as logos and illustration, please email me. I look forward to starting a conversation with you!  General info: I will collect as much information about your project as we can work out together, and give you an estimate including time and cost. If the estimate is accepted, I may ask for a 50% deposit, depending on the size of the job, then I’ll get to work. I will send you sketches for your approval and/or comments as I proceed. You’ll be part of the design process from start to finish! I want to make sure the work I do for you is something you can be proud to have representing you to your market. So we can BOTH be proud, that is! This is not clip-art, or discount graphics pulled from a handy pile. Your project will be totally custom, and you can be confident knowing you won’t see it all over the place in other contexts. mailto:xan@xans-art.com?subject=info:%20Commercialshapeimage_3_link_0
Commissioning a Portrait (Click here for pricing) My system is to keep three jobs on my books at a time: one working, and 2 on a waiting list.  As each is completed, that opens up a new spot on the list. To be added to the Commission Alert List, Click Here. (You'll also be given the option to sign up for my occasional Newsletter.)  A 30% deposit secures a spot on the list.  When I start work on your piece, another 30% is due, followed by the balance plus shipping upon completion.  That makes it easier to budget, and the built-in delay gives you some time to save up, get your photo references ready, and really pin down what you want, so we can hit the ground running.   ___________________________________ From time to time, I announce a Portrait Marathon, during which I do a series of small or relatively fast paintings or drawings for a fixed price. Each Marathon has its own flavor, and can last one day, or about a week (or more!) They have ranged from caricatures, drawn digitally and delivered as a giclee print, more traditional-look digital paintings, to acrylic paintings on gallery-wrapped canvas.  Follow my Blog to be the first on my first-come, first-served list! Pricing.htmlhttp://eepurl.com/fifashttp://xans-art.blogspot.com/shapeimage_4_link_0shapeimage_4_link_1shapeimage_4_link_2
