Commission Me
Hello and thanks for stopping by 'commissions'! Getting a feel for a freelancer and a quote can be scary. But do not fear! To make things easier, here you'll find some basic packages and quote estimates drawn from my most-requested commissions, from illustrations, to full inside-and-out book designs, websites, logos, social art projects and more.
​
Want to work out a quote just for you? Got another idea you think I might be able to help you with?
For a quote tailored to you, please e-mail me directly at stringerthingsart@gmail.com
There's no harm in asking!
To get the most out of a commission enquiry, please include, where possible, any budget or timescale constraints you may have, and the general idea / reason behind enquiring - this bit is just so we can explore any other relevant options, where desired, and so that I can get a feel for you, to ensure the best possible service and value. I'm no fan of rinsing customers, nor of hidden costs!

​
This one varies greatly upon quantity and detail requested (£20 - £500). From inky character-filled scribblings to full colour double page spreads, these tend to work out much cheaper than covers, averaging around £50 per illustration. Again, if you want a shelf full of cute little drawings for your book, this could work out shockingly cheaper.

Every page covered in drawings, from Ink, to Graphic, Digital, or Pencil to really make something special! Average cost given is for a 300 page book. For other size books, or even a fully painted book, please do e-mail.

By creating the whole project together as one brief, I was very happy to be able to save this company thousands of pounds.

Fun Fact: 1 infographic averaging £100, this means that 50 bought seperately would have cost a whopping £5,000 alone. Buy more, and truly save more.
WHY CONSIDER SUPPORTING AN INDEPENDENT CREATIVE?
I'd personally love for everyone to have more of a say over the entire process and result of projects, which is what hiring an independent creative allows you to do.
​
If you're fed up of having to go through the middle man and feeling like you have no choice but to feed corporate giants who's systems are to ridgid for you; who aren't giving anything back. If you want to hire someone who is Flexible, has a Unique Perspective, a Broad Creative Skillset and brings Fresh Eyes to a project... Then I hope you might consider supporting an independent artist (whether it's me or someone else is, of course, up to you). So, providing you're interested, let's try something new together.
