Commission Information:While I reserve the right to turn away offers of commissions for any reason, I rarely do. I am particularly interested in working on commissions involving Objectivists or Objectivism, but this is not essential. If you are interested in commissioning me to make artwork or writings, please contact me
here.
Below are some of my criteria.
Prices:
Feel free to request a price list
here. Final payment is due before the transfer of the finished work and I must receive 25% of the commission price before I begin.
Artistic Control:
By entering into a commission contract with me, you acknowledge that you have reviewed my work and that you are familiar with my style, subject choices and the mediums I use.
I must be allowed full artistic control over the work which includes the image, the title and the shape of the substrate I will represent the agreed upon subject or subjects in the work and you may choose the medium, but I reserve the the right to dismiss any tips, input or suggestions about the work.
Additionally, I requires privacy while working and I am not obligated to update you on the progress of the piece. The client will not expect to see the work until it is finished.
Framing, Shipping, Conservation and Restoration:
Commissions do not include framing, matting, installation equipment, installation, conservation, restoration or shipping.
Procedure:
After a commission contract is signed by both parties, I will complete the piece, typically between three and six months. I will be required to make one or more appointments with the subject to make sketches and/or to take photographs unless otherwise agreed upon by both parties. All sketches and photographs will become my property unless otherwise agreed upon by both parties.
Copyrights:
Fees are only for the original artwork, and do not include ownership of copyrights or commercial reproduction rights, which remain me. Works of art and their titles cannot be modified without my permission. I reserve the right to include reproductions of the piece in my physical and online portfolios, and will retain reproductions of the works for my own uses. However, I am happy to maintain the anonymity of the subject if requested.
Permission Information: To request permission to use or reproduce my texts or images please contact me
here. I am particularly interested in publications that promote Objectivism, Objectivist principles and Romantic art, but this is not essential.
Below are some of my criteria.
In order to reproduce my images or texts the intended use must be made clear to me.
Images and texts may not be altered or cropped in any way without my approval before hand. You may not exclude or alter my signatures or other writings that may appear on the work. The size and manner of the reproductions must be agreed upon.
Wherever my texts or images are displayed credit must be given to me. On web publications, a link must refer back to my website. Additionally, the copyright status of the text or image must be clearly displayed somewhere on the publication.
