Please look this over before contacting me with a question, because it might already be answered here!
Artwork
Do you draw/paint custom artwork?
Yes. I get commissions all the time. However, I do need at least 50% payment up front, so I can schedule you commission, and the other 50% when I'm finished. Sometimes in may take as long as 4-6 weeks to finish it depending on my work load, and how complicated it is.
I have a detailed chart of how much a commission costs, so just email me for it!
I see you have done portraits in the past, will you draw mine or someone I know?
Yes. I draw realistic portraits all the time too. And, like the commissions above, I need to have 50% up front and the other 50% when I'm finished. And it may take 4-6 weeks depending on my workload. Right now, I only work in pencil to do the realistic portraits, and I would need a clear picture to work from.
Can I hire you to illustrate a novel/comic book/children's book/gaming book for my company?
Yes, of course. Please send your inquiry, and a description of what you want, and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. I'm always looking forward to having something new and fresh to work on.
Do you draw nudity?
For commissions I do draw tasteful nudity, however you will not find any of it here on this site. Also, I say what's tasteful and whats not, since it is my own artwork.
If I get you to draw a commission who holds the copyright?
If I draw a commission, even if it is somebody else's idea, my artwork is my own interpretation of that idea, so therefore I hold the copyright. You can purchase copyright usage from me, look under usage policy to read more on this.
Can I use your artwork for my MySpace/Facebook/LiveJournal blog?
No. This I have to be firm on. See my usage policy if you want to use my artwork. Any breaking of my usage policy is considered stealing, and I will send my flying monkeys after you.
I'm curious about what is the Avalon New Age Items, Printing Services and Art Gallery pages about?
Well, these three things are future projects for me. I hope to sometime soon be able to accept and upload other artists artwork to show off their talents, as well as print things up for them and sell those things here on my website. Of course right now, I'm trying to put up all my own personal artwork merchandise on this website first, then I'll start researching the programming to be able to do that.
Also the Avalon New Age Products are the things that I sell at Renaissance Faires, and SCA Events to help me fill my merchant tent. I want to eventally put those here too, so I can offer more then just my artwork for sale.
Did you draw all this? By yourself?
Believe it or not, I get this question all the time at shows and conventions. I don't know why, after I answer yes to the first part, the second part always follows. I humbly say yes again, but inside I'm dying of laughter.
Shipping and Handling
How long will it take to get my order?
I try to get packages shipped out as fast as I can usually within 48 hrs of purchase. However I am a one person operation (with a little help from my loving boyfriend) so please understand sometimes I get swamped with work, and can only make it to the post office once a week, especially if there is bad weather.
What if I have payment problems? Or problems with Paypal, or your website?
If your experiencing problems of any kind please email me using the contact me form and I'll respond as soon as I can (usually within the same day, unless I'm out of town for a show). I try to make this site as user friendly, and simple as possible.
When are you going to be out of town, so I can make an order?
Check my Show & Cons page for show dates when I will be out of town. Of course, I can't send anything off, when I'm not at home.
More questions soon to come....
