COMMISSION INFORMATION & REQUEST FORM
2026 Commission Information
and Request Form - OPEN
Please take a moment to read the information below. Once you're familiar with the process, you'll find the commission request submission form below.
2026 Commissions:
While Dave can't take on all commission requests, he opens his calendar to take on a handful throughout the year. He is currently accepting commission requests until December 15, 2025. After that date, he'll review all requests and select commissions for 2026. For a more detailed timeline, please scroll down beneath the submissions form found below.
Commission Pricing and Information:
The price of commissioned work is based on the size and detail of the artwork. Please note that bespoke (commissioned) work tends to be more expensive than non-commissioned work. Estimates are as follows:
-
Small to medium pieces (approximately 8x10” to 20x30” framed) typically range from $1,500 - $5,000.
-
Medium to large pieces (approximately 20x30” to 29x41” framed) typically range from $4,000 to $9,500.
-
Large pieces (approximately 4’ on one side or larger framed) typically range from $8,500 upward.
-Please note that these prices are only estimates and vary based on the detail of the piece. Commissioned pieces that include 3D elements or interactive frame work skew on the higher end of pricing.
-Prices listed do not include the cost of shipping or sales tax (sales tax is charged for paintings shipped within New York and is charged at the rate of the county that the painting is shipped to).
-Pricing for your custom piece will be determined based on your specifications, and will be agreed upon before you’re obligated to move forward.

What Are Next Steps?
Step 1:
Commission requests will be open until December 15th, 2025. Dave will review all requests and select several to complete in 2026. We will reach out to everyone who submitted a request with an update on whether or not Dave can take on your request by January 15.
Step 2:
We will reach out to those clients whose commissions Dave can take on with background options (if you are not providing a background). This will take place through January 2026.
Step 3:
Once a background is agreed upon, Dave will complete a mockup for final confirmation before starting work on the actual painting. We anticipate that all mockups will be ready by the end of January. Final pricing will be determined, and we'll send a contract for your commissioned piece. A signed contract and 50% deposit are due within 14 days to secure your commission for 2026.
Step 4:
Once the painting is complete, we'll send photos and videos of the final piece. Final payment will be due, and the painting will be shipped to you along with a signed Certificate of Authenticity.
