COMMISSIONS
I’m currently NOT accepting commissions.
Scroll down for policies, faqs, pricing and how to order.
The slideshow below includes a sampling of some of my favorite projects. Things that I absolutely love drawing: adventuresome kids, animals, nature, science-y things, pop culture and food…
POLICIES
Lead Times
Please allow 2-4 weeks to receive your illustration. Commissions are scheduled in the order they’re requested. If you need finished artwork by a certain date, please let me know and I’ll do my best to accommodate this.
Additional Fees
RUSH ORDERS
I accept rush orders (i.e. need in less than two weeks) on a case-by-case basis depending on my availability. The fee for rush orders is $125.
ADDITIONAL DRAFTS
2 drafts are included. Additional drafts are $25 each.
Payment
You may pay in full at any point -or- put down a 50% deposit and pay the remaining balance before shipment. I accept pay-pal, venmo, zelle and apple pay.
Materials
Original artwork is painted on Fabriano hot press watercolor paper (100% Cotton, acid free). Digital prints are printed on Epson art papers with Epson ultrachrome inks.
Shipping
I ship twice a week (Tues and Fri) via USPS first class or priority mail. Additional costs may apply for expedited shipping or another carrier, such as FedEx or UPS. Illustrations are packed in a clear cellophane sleeve and shipped in a cardboard mailer.
The Fine Print
All artwork is for personal use only, and not for resale in any form. Please feel free to share on social media. A tag (@fromthebear) is much appreciated, as it helps me to direct clients towards sample work.
FAQ
-
I can comfortably draw up to 5 figures on a 9” x 12” size paper. I try to leave at least 1” - 1.5” of margin around the image if possible. So more figures may mean smaller figures or narrower margin. You may choose to increase the paper size.
-
No. But keep in mind that the overall look of an illustration can change depending on the medium and how loose or tightly the illustrations are rendered.
-
Generally I draw everything, though kids and animals are what I enjoy drawing the most. I’ll note that as an illustrator, I don’t copy other people’s artwork. For example, if you’d like me to draw Peter Rabbit, it will be my interpretation of peter rabbit-- not a copy of Beatrix Potter’s character.

Yes, $12 each for an 8.5 x 11” print

If the change could have been caught during the draft phases and the draft was approved, then there will be a draft fee ($25) + reprint fee ($12). Changes will be made digitally.

While I loved making physical invites and printables, I no longer offer custom paper goods that i ship to you.

Yes! Anything for personal use is okay. Let me know this at the beginning, so I can give you the correct file types.
