Can I commission Pat do a custom illustration for my website, project or book?

I do limited commission work for reproduction purposes in various publications. New custom illustrations range between $400.00 to $6,000.00 each. Children’s books involving multiple illustrations are estimated on a per project basis. As a general rule, if what you want is very detailed with many figures or objects, it will cost more than if it is something simple because of the time involved. My hourly fee is $50.00. If you have a good idea of what you want, it will save me quite a bit of design and layout time. I must have the description and request to commission new art in writing, preferably by email to revill@aol.com. For an estimate, please email or mail a detailed description of what you want in the illustration, what you will be using it for, and whether or not the final publication will be sold, even if it is for non-profit purposes. I will get back to you with an estimate in a few days. I will also let you know if and when I will be available to do the work. If you decide to go for it, I’ll let you know when it can be scheduled. I then will send a contract which you would sign and return with one third of the payment, and I would begin your illustration. Sketches are always sent to you for approval before the final art is started. The balance of payment would be due upon completion. NOTE: I do not design logos because I am an illustrator, not a graphic designer. But if you need an illustration for use within a logo, I can do that part for you, and your printer or a graphic designer can add the type later.
