I reserve the right to refuse a project.
Prices are subject to change. Clients will not be billed nor reimbursed the difference if the cost of an item changes during a project's duration.
The client understands that they are paying for the non-refundable time and expertise of an artist. Completed commissions are not eligible for refund.

All commissions are listed on my public queue hosted on Trello.
Unless arrangements have been made, unpaid commissions that have exceeded ten days in the queue without response from the client will be removed from the queue with notice and considered cancelled.
Position in the queue may vary due to response time or artwork complexity.
The Estimate Turnaround Time ["ETA"] is exclusively an estimate and is not a guarantee for a project's completion.
Clients are encouraged to request edits [such as colour adjustments, artist errors and markings] at any point, including when the artwork is completed. Major edits on completed artwork may warrant a fee.
Clients are welcome to reach out via email at any point to inquire about the status of their project.
Larger projects, commission orders of multiple artworks, and group prints may take longer to fulfill, and may take longer than their estimated turnaround time.
If a client requires their artwork for a deadline, they must express this at the time of purchase. Please note: not all deadlines can be accommodated. Rush fees may apply.
I may terminate a commission if the project is being hindered by the revision process. Should a project be terminated, the client will be immediately receive a partial refund. Refund amounts may vary, determined by the volume of work completed at the time of issue.

Completed client artwork may be utilized for my own advertising and self promotion purposes. All completed client works are published to my online galleries and social media.
