Interested in an original piece of art, either for yourself or someone you love and care about?

Together, we can create something that will bring enjoyment for a lifetime (and beyond!) as it’s handed down to future generations.

Please email me (john@sharpenedartist.com) with any specific questions.

Commission Pricing and Workflow

My availability for commissions is first come, first served.

Portraits can take anywhere from a month to several months to complete, depending on my current workload, size, and the complexity of the piece.

I’m happy to discuss the particulars of your project with you! The best thing to do is contact me by email (john@sharpenedartist.com) to start the conversation.

A subsequent phone call will follow an email exchange. I’ll determine the exact pricing for your project. I’ll send the workflow documentation and contract once we’ve agreed on terms.  

The commission workflow outline process:

1. Discussion Phase

2. First Contact Phase

3. Studio Phase

Pricing

Portrait prices start at just $900 (unframed), depending on size, complexity, colors used, due date, and a host of other factors. Most original portrait commissions are between $1,000 and $3,500.
