How Dave Selects Which Commissions to Take On:
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 through March 1st, 2024. After that date, he'll select which commissions to take on, and anyone who submitted a request will be notified. We'll work out the details and timeline with accepted requests beginning the week following the submission deadline.
Commission Pricing:
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.
-
Note that these prices are for works without sculptural/3D elements. Works with these elements will have higher prices.
-Please note that these prices are only estimates and vary based on the detail of the piece.
-Prices listed do not include the cost of shipping or sales tax (New York residents will pay the sales tax rate of the county they live in). Pricing for your custom piece will be determined based on your specifications, and will be agreed upon before you’re obligated to move forward.
-Please scroll to the bottom of this page for more information on the commission process (found beneath the Request Form).
What Are Next Steps?
Step 1:
We will stop accepting commission requests on March 1st. Dave will review all requests and select several to complete this year. We will reach out to everyone who submitted the form with an update by March 31st.
Step 2:
Dave will reach out to all accepted commission requests with any questions and some background options (if you're not providing a piece for him to paint on).
Step 2:
Once a background is agreed upon, Dave will do a mockup for final confirmation before starting the painting. Final pricing will be determined, and we'll send a contract for you to look over and sign. A signed contract and 50% deposit are due within 14 days.
Step 3:
Once the painting is complete, we'll send photos to make sure it's what you wanted. Final payment will be due, and the painting will be shipped to you along with a signed Certificate of Authenticity.
