“Do I get to select the reference image for the illustration?” Yes, as long as I have created the photo reference for you. I reserve the right to narrow your image collection to the top 5 images that I feel would work best for an illustration first, and to discuss with you the pros and cons of selecting certain images, but ultimately the decision is yours.
“Can I provide my own photo for an illustration?” Unfortunately, no. I require a photo session for all illustrative work. Part of my artistic process is my reference creation. As an illustrator, I believe in holding as much control over my entire performance as possible, from reference creation to final product.
“I’d like to commission a different type of custom illustration product from you. Do you accept commissions?” I accept commissions on a case-by-case basis. Contact me with your idea and I'll see if I can meet your needs. All commissions require photo sessions as appropriate.
