Purchasing Original Art, Prints, and
Game Cards
|
|
Original Art
If you wish to contact me either to commission
an original illustration or to buy an existing one, please see my contact information at the bottom of every page. I am open
to negotiation in both cases. However, I do have minimum fees and purchase prices, below which there is no longer room for
compromise.
Included with a fee for a commissioned
illustration, I expect a contract and/or purchase order, a reasonable amount of time to do research for the job, and an equally
reasonable amount of time to do sketches and the finished piece.
I will provide ideas for an illustration
assignment when requested, sketches, an invoice, and a professionally done finished piece that will meet your deadline. Many
of the illustrations I have produced are also available for second rights use. That is, they have already been used other
places, but can be used again at a considerably lower price.
Most of the pieces you've seen on these
pages or on my promotional sheets or cards, are for sale. If you come across something you'd like to own, please contact me
and I'm sure we can come to an agreement that satisfies us both. If you want a certain piece of artwork framed first, I can
have that done also. Framing, shipping, and insurance charges will be added onto the price of the illustration.
Under most circumstances I will not be
selling you the copyright along with the original illustration. If you wish to own the copyright to a particular piece, assuming
I have control of the copyright, there will be an additional charge. In addition to being able to pay me using a personal
check or bank check, you can now use the services of PayPal to pay me safely and securely.
Prints
To purchase prints of the illustrations on this website, just click on the PayPal symbol
beneath the image you want to buy. The price will be listed (including postage within the United States), along with the instructions
to complete your purchase. All prints are open stock and not numbered, but are signed. They are printed on 8.5" by 11" matte photo paper, and are shipped in an envelope protected with
corrugated cardboard. If you are located outside of the U.S.A., or if you wish to purchase original art, please contact
me by e-mail to get purchasing information.
Collectible Game Cards
I will no longer
be signing my collectible game cards for free as I have done in the past. Unfortunately, I have found that people for whom
I signed cards, with the understanding that they were for their own personal collections, have instead been selling these
signed cards on the internet and at conventions. So, if you contact me with requests to sign your cards, I will give you a
price for my signature.
Otherwise, I'm very happy to sign collectible
game cards. Send no more than 20 cards at a time. Please include a self-addressed, stamped envelope to make getting them back
to you as effortless as possible, and if you're mailing from another country, please include enough postage to cover the return
trip. This usually entails purchasing two postal coupons. Allow 1-4 weeks for cards to be returned. I can't be responsible
for cards lost or damaged through the mail.
I also have some signed artists'
proofs left of the four cards I did for Magic: the Gathering ("Reap", "Insight", "Eladamri, Lord of Leaves", and "Eladamri's
Vineyard"). I sell them for $7.50 each, not including postage. If you'd like a sketch on the back of the card, the price is
$15.00. You can send me an order by e-mail or regular mail.
