Commissions
Seven years ago I accepted my first commission to collaboratively conceive and create a painted sculpture. Since then I've been able to develop a no suprises, flat rate, project cost estimate model. The estimate I produce for a commisioned painting and the final cost that the patron pays are always the same. If a project takes more time to produce than I anticipated when I produced the estimate then I eat the cost and it is not passed on to the patron.To learn more about the commissioning process click on the links below.
