The answer to this question varies greatly depending on the nature of the commission. Smaller pieces will cost less than larger pieces and those completed in pencil/charcoal often cost less than those completed in watercolor or acrylic. Materials, size, time, and image use (is the illustration to be reproduced for profit, etc) all play a role in determining a commission price.

If you wish to hire me to produce an illustration, taxidermy specimen, or workshop, it is best to tell me your budget first and we can work together from there to determine what I can create for you!

Working with an artist can be easy, as long as you already have a vision and a budget for what you’re after! Once we have an initial conversation about your project, I will put together a contract that we both verbally agree to and usually ask for a 50% security deposit of the quoted price before work on the project begins. I will then begin work on the project, giving you room for feedback on the sketch before starting the final piece. Each commission contract includes one round of edits. Additional edits may come at an additional price. This is to ensure that you have a fully formed idea of what you want the piece to look like before we begin working together, but also pays for my time if the commission ultimately requires changes. Once the project or piece is completed, you will receive your deliverables (digital or physical) upon completing payment to me.

Science Illustration: diagnostic species illustration, technical illustrations, educational infographics, and more! In pencil, charcoal, pen & ink, pastel, watercolor, acrylic, small sculptures, scratchboard, or even digital.

Taxidermy mounts and study skins, specializing in birds.

Workshops such as introductions to science illustration, how to draw birds, bird taxidermy, specimen preparation, and nature jounaling.

**It’s important to note that while I am a trained science illustrator, I prefer to work on bird related commissions! If you are looking for someone to illustrate people, medical illustration, etc. I will likely direct you towards a different artist.
