I created this contract to protect you as the client and myself as the artist. In a perfect world no one would ever need a contract because everyone would be payed for work they've done and everyone else would happy with the work they've payed for, but alas this world is not the one we live in. So this contract is just a way to make sure you receive your commissioned artwork and I receive payment. It's also a way for me to lay out in detail exactly how I work with clients. If you have any further questions about working with me please do not hesitate to email me directly at eye.scream.paint.shop@gmail.com
WHAT I DO
I offer two main types of work: tattoo design and dream paintings. But I am also available to do other kinds of commissioned work such as: portraits, pet portraits, paintings, drawings, logo and brand design. I'm also open to any other type of work that you may come up with.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
Upon request I will be able to honestly discuss: if I am able to perform the job being requesting, when I would be able to do the work, how long it would generally take, and how much I would charge.
I value the relationships I build with my clients, so it's my priority to make sure the client is satisfied. I make sure I am always easily reachable and available to clients, especially if we are in the process of working together. I do not consider a job complete until my client is 100% satisfied with the work I am presenting. I am honest about whether or not I am the right candidate for the job you are requiring.
Different projects will require different amounts of time to complete. Tattoo designs can be completed rather quickly, where a dream painting can take a considerable amount of time longer. Some projects may need to be scheduled - meaning, I may not be available to begin the project immediately. However, I will always be honest with when I can begin and how long the project will take.
Some projects, such as Tattoo designs, are very collaborative. Meaning, I like remain in contact with you the entire time to guarantee the design is exactly how you want it. Changing of a client's mind on ideas and small details are welcome! (Tattoos are pretty permanent after all). However, projects such as dream paintings are open to and products of my artistic interpretation and style. Meaning, based on your initial description of the dream I will create an artistic rendition and once complete, most details will not be available to be changed. But once again, I am very open and cooperative with my clients and strive to create exactly what they want and expect.

WHAT I EXPECT
I respect and view myself as a professional freelance artist. My time and work are valuable, and respectfully expect my clients to regard me as such. If I am working with a client on a commission which requires us to remain in contact, and the client's response time lags, I will not spend time trying to regain communication. If a client allows a large amount of time to pass before responding while I am completing a design which requires a constant line of communication between us (tattoo design), than I may begin work on another project with a different client. This does not mean the contract is void and it does not mean I will fail to return to the project once I hear from the client. It just means that if I need your approval on the project before moving forward, your response will dictate the amount of time it takes for me to complete your order.
Sadly, most artists do not work for free. I pride myself in providing my clients with friendly and professional interactions, well kept deadlines, fair prices, and superb products. So I request of my clients to understand and take account of my time, resources, and professional services I am providing. I expect clients to follow through with previously discussed payments. I am a full time artist, and even the smallest of unpaid fees can result in personal issues for myself and family.

PAYMENT
Amount and style of payment will differ with each project. Details of payment will be discussed in full and agreed upon before I begin work on any project. In some cases payment will be requested up front, and in other cases half will be required up front and the remaining amount upon completion. I accept payment through paypal, and also through my etsy page (which also uses paypal). I do not accept checks or cash through the mail (could be an option if we are meeting in person). However, I am open to working with my clients so that they feel comfortable and safe with payment options.
If for whatever reason you are not pleased with my work upon completion a form of compensation will be given, unless you are already in possession of the work. If you decide to terminate a project in the early stages, then most if not all of your money can be refunded to you. This will be based on the type of work, time, and supplies that have already been acquired to work on the project. If a project reaches completion and you are not satisfied with the final piece than you may be refunded the money, excluding the amount to cover my time and resources already used. During anytime of the project, or even following completion if you feel you are not happy or have a question or concern please always feel free to contact me, and I promise to do everything in my power and within reason to resolve any issues.
