Commissions
How Does it Work?
There are two ways to commission me.
You can do a Scientific Piece or a Personal Commission.
Scientific Pieces are for scientists and people working with scientists.
These are informative visual media used for scientific illustration and/or communication.
Personal Commissions are for anybody.
These are pieces that are meant to decorate your home or gift to a loved one.
The two have different requirements and result in different products. Please read carefully and make sure you are commissioning what best suits your needs.
I hope to hear from you soon!

Scientific Pieces
Getting Started
- Provide scientific references, papers, or applicable information. Please be very specific with what concept you want to get across.
- No references may result in additional fees or be declined.
- A meeting is required for a scientific piece. An online meeting is perfectly acceptable.
Process Stage
- Progress images will be sent for your review to approve or make revisions before the work is finished.
- Twenty (20) revisions may be requested before incurring additional fees.
- I want to be collaborative, but there is a limit.
Finalization
- Once the finalized artwork is accepted you will receive full res files.
- Please inform the Artist on what form files are needed for your project.
- No physical product will be delivered unless there is an express written agreement.
Important Information
- Scientific pieces are for scientific contexts, programs, papers, communication, and educational purposes only.
- You may not sell the work for personal profit.
- If published in a scientific paper please give credit.
- An additional purchase of a physical copy or original piece for personal use is sometimes an option, please ask the Artist if this is an option you are interested in.
By commissioning me, this means you have properly read, understand, and AGREE to the terms of service.
