Q: Can I request a special portrait for my jacket (family, friend, celebrity, etc.)? A: Yes! This will require high quality photo references of who you'd like me to paint. So if you request a personal portrait for your custom in the 'Anything else?' box at the bottom, I'll reach out to you and we'll set up a meeting to Q: Who are the people you paint in your portraits? A: I primarily source portrait references for wearable pieces from places like Google or Pinterest. Typically, these are not models I know, but I am intentional about providing credit to my visual references when able. Q: Why a deposit? A: Deposits are like insurance for artists. It provides protection for us, our time and resources. A deposit is required before any planning or execution of a custom takes place to ensure the client is committed to seeing it through financially, and just in case things don't work out, I'm at least compensated for the time, effort, and resources put into the process thus far. Q: What if I have more questions about this whole process that I want to speak with you about before paying a deposit? A: Q: What does a "follow up" meeting with you about our custom order look like? A: I'll contact you to talk about your custom piece, and review any specifics, preferences, and questions to ensure we both have what we need in order to make this a successful experience for both of us!
