I am a full-time artist with no other means of income except my art. If you use my art for a tattoo I ask you to consider supporting me through any of the following methods: - Make a purchase through my shop. This will allow you to provide your tattoo artist with a printed design they can refer to when inking your body! - Become a Patron! Supporters through my Patreon have access to exclusive downloads, including tattoo flash sheets! You can provide your tattoo artist with the PDF file for your specific tattoo. This will ensure a wonderful outcome! - You can also donate via PayPal or Ko-fi through my DONATE page! <3 *I would love to see the outcome of your 'Sharktopia tattoo'! Please message me on social media or toss me an email (You can start by simply using my contact form) so I can see the finished result!

Unfortunately, I'm not taking on custom requests at this time. Please refer to the "Can I use your art as a tattoo" question/answer for more info on using existing art.

I'm so glad you like my art! I appreciate the thought and your interest in a custom piece of artwork, but I am not taking on commissions at this time. If this should change in the future, I will make an announcement.

Every once in a while, someone asks me to illustrate a story they've written - OR - a story idea that they have (but might not have fully written yet). Please consider the following before reaching out: - Do you have a finished story that has been proofed by a publisher or literary agency? - Do you have a pulisher in-place with pending contracts, etc.? - Do you have a timeframe in mind for the project - from the time of illustrating to the time of publishing? - Do you have an established budget/contract already created for the illustrator? - Do you have a size/template/paper type for the book and will it be full-color, black and white, watercolor, digital flat colors, etc? Paper size, weight, type, etc. all matter for illustrations. In addition to the above notes, here are some additional things to consider if you've decided to self-publish: - Do you have the platform/company picked out where you will self-publish your story? - Even without illustrations, could you story be uploaded to the self-publishing website as it is - or do you have additional editing and work to do on your story? (Ideally, your story should be completely finished when approaching an illustrator) - Have you chosen your book size and materials through the platform you've chosen to use for self-publishing? Paper size/weight, paper type, etc. all matter for illustrations. These are not decisions for the illustrator - these are all things for you to personally consider for your book. If you have all or most of this taken care of - I'd be happy to chat with you about your project! :)

Customs fees and VAT tax fees are NOT included with your purchase. ETA approx 10-20+ business days depending upon location. Customs, weather, holidays, etc. can all effect the delivery timeframe. Cost is set at $15.00 usd for the UK, Europe, etc. If your region is not listed as an option, please contact me directly to receive an updated shipping estimate. ** International Shipping Customs Fees - You are responsible for any Customs Fees that may be required once your parcel arrives to your location. Unpaid fees may result in a return-service to me that can take 4+ weeks. We can discuss re-shipping the item(s) if returned to me, but you would be responsible for the additional shipping cost in that scenario. These monetary guidelines are delegated by your specific region and are NOT something I can predict in advance. I therefore do not include any fee for customs as that is something you would need to handle once the parcel arrives. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause - but it's beyond my control. Thank you for understanding. :)

All sales are final. Please make sure you're purchasing the item(s) you really want! Thank you so much for your support. :)

Undelivered items are extremely rare. If your shipment does not arrive please refer to the following information: If you're within the U.S. please allow 3 weeks to pass prior to requesting a replacement. If you're outside of the U.S. please allow 8 weeks to pass prior to requesting a replacement. This takes into account any lost parcels that may get recovered or other delays due to holidays, the pandemic, lockdown, weather, etc. Items that are not replaceable such as original paintings and "one of a kind" illustrations will be handled on a case-by-case basis. Note: If a parcel is returned to me strictly due to unpaid customs fees (which is noted in the description of each listing in my shop as well), you will be responsible for the second shipping fee if I need to re-send the item(s).
