What is the price for commissioned work?

A rate of 750.00 U.S. dollars per square foot is charged for a commissioned work. The minimum cost for a commissioned work is 4500.00 (six square feet or smaller). If the subject contains three subjects (architecture, garden, boat, person, animal are all subjects), the cost per square foot is 850.00 (5100.00 minimum). Add 300.00 per subject after three subjects.

How do I start the commission process?

Before contacting Meg Black about your commission ideas, please take a moment to complete the enclosed questionnaire.

After your questionnaire is received, Meg will schedule a complimentary one-hour consultation, typically where the commission is intended to be installed, to discuss the scope of the project. After the meeting, Meg will supply 3-5 Photoshop enhanced examples of the proposed project along with a written contract. The cost for the examples is 200.00. This fee is deducted from the final cost of the commission if the signed contract is returned within 30 days along with a nonrefundable deposit of 25% of the cost of the commission. If additional photographs or sketches are required beyond Meg’s extensive collection, Meg charges 700.00 for a full 8-hour day and 400.00 for a half 4-hour day photography session made payable in advance. An additional 50% is required during an in-progress meeting at which time any adjustments to the original proposal are determined. The final balance of 25% is due upon delivery of the artwork.
