Commissioned Art
Shipping & Payment
How your original artwork is packaged, shipped and paid for—whether you're purchasing existing artwork or commissioning a new piece.
Shipping & packaging
Shipping costs—including postage, insurance and signature service when applicable—are added to the artwork total.
How your artwork is protected
Standard full-size comic artwork on 11" × 17" boards is packaged carefully:
- The original art is inserted into a plastic toploader.
- The toploader is wrapped in two to three art-print polybags, alternating top and bottom.
- The protected artwork is placed inside a sturdy shipping box.
Nonstandard-sized artwork is packaged with the same care, using appropriate protection for its size.
Domestic shipping
The default service is USPS Priority 2-3 Day Mail with delivery signature.
USPS insurance rates are also provided as an option.
Domestic artwork deliveries require a delivery signature under the original policy.
International shipping
The original default was USPS First Class International. This service currently does not including tracking or delivery signature, and usually takes 1-3 weeks for delivery.
Upon request, USPS International Priority Mail costs will be provided, described as including tracking but not delivery signature.
- Customs processing may delay delivery.
- Any and all customs charges are the buyer's responsibility.
- Shipping insurance on Priority shipping may be available for an additional charge.
Payment
For commissions, payment is due once commissioned artwork is fully completed (though for the higher priced options, a 50% initial payment may be rquired).
For sale of published original comic art, payment is due before the art is shipped.
All payments are in U.S. dollars (USD).
PayPal
- Use Goods and Services, not the Personal payment method, so the appropriate seller fee applies.
- Under the original policy, artwork ships no later than the day after PayPal payment confirmation.
- I will share my PayPal.me link when it's time to pay.
Check or money order
- Personal and business checks are accepted under the original policy.
- For checks, allow at least seven business days after deposit for clearing before shipment.
- For money orders, artwork ships no later than the day after receipt under the original policy.
- Address information is exchanged when needed.
