When you decide to commission a work of art, you will receive an invoice at your provided email address. Most major credit cards are accepted, as well as Venmo and PayPal. Once the deposit is received, your commission will begin. You will receive an update as your work of art progresses. When your commission is complete and you approve, you will receive a new invoice via email for the remaining balance due. Once remaining balance is received in full, your commission will ship to the postal address you provide. You will also receive a tracking number and shipping confirmation.
