Commissions

I am available for commissions and custom work. My mediums are wood burning, watercolor, ink, and acrylic.

Time Frame: Depending on the size and complexity of the piece and whether I have the item in stock, commissions can take from two weeks to two months. An estimate will be provided at the time of the request.

Rights: Private commissions do not come with any reproduction rights. If you are interested in buying reproduction rights or licensing rights please contact me at fireoakstudio@gmail.com.

Rates: Prices will vary based on the complexity of the piece. Please see my Facebook page or my Artfire store for examples of my work and costs.  I require a 50% deposit to start with the final amount due before shipment.

Information I need to start the commission

  1. An idea of what you want. Please try to be as specific as possible. For example, let me know if you want specific shapes, symbols or animals in your commissioned piece.
  2. The size you prefer.
  3. What medium. If you want woodburning, I will need to know what you want the design on (wood panel, bowl, spoon, etc).
  4. Your contact information and name.

Commission Process

  1. Contact me (fireoakstudio@gmail.com) with the information listed above. Once I have this information and accept the commission we will negotiate the final price and I will give a time estimate.
  2. Upon receiving the 50 percent advance payment, I will begin working on the design sketch. I will scan the sketch so you can provide me with feedback. I will edit the sketch up to four times (more edits will bring the final cost of the piece up).
  3. Once final sketch is approved, I will begin working on the final piece. Once I have finished, I will again photograph the piece for  final approval. Changes at this stage are unlikely due to the nature of art, but I am willing to discuss options if the piece really isn’t what you are looking for.
  4. After the final approval, the final payment is due. When it is received, I will send the art.

Thank you for your interest in my art.

  1. Dang you are quiet good at Pyrography! And the prices you offer are definitely better than most I have seen from other artists. I am for sure considering purchasing one from you as an office display.
