frequently asked questions
Custom Artwork
I love your work! But I don’t see anything that’s currently available to fit my space, do you offer custom work?
First of all, thank you so much! I love it when anyone feels connected to my work. I do offer commissions, however, I only give myself a certain amount I’m willing to take each quarter. Please email me if you’re seriously interested in observing a spot.
How does the commission process work?
Every commission is a little different because most of the time, it’s fit to order. We go over sizing and overall feel of your piece. I usually allow myself a few months for each commission because I take multiple commissions at once time. I try my best to keep communication open during the process as the artistic direction of the piece evolves. In order to secure a commission spot, first we must complete a contract and a 1/2 non refundable deposit to start the process. This protects both parties from any miscommunication on expectations. Starting prices on commissions are $1k. I remain the rights to terminate a contract if the working relationship becomes hostile.
Shipping & Delivery
Since most of my original work is large, I offer free delivery to the Fresno/Clovis area. I offer delivery to certain parts of California for a $100 fee. Anything outside of my range in California or other US states is dependent on freight service price and size.
How do I know when you release a new piece or collection?
The best way to stay up to date on new work or releases is by signing up for my newsletter here. I will give first dibs to my loyal art lovers and shhhh maybe sometimes a discount on a print or two! To keep up with more day to day art and life, please follow me on Instagram @domjamescreative. I’d love to meet you!
I’ve fallen in love with an original piece on your site, but I’d love to see it in person first. Is this possible?
If you are local to the Fresno/Clovis area and you’d like to set up a time to see your potential piece, I am happy to accommodate. Although, I do ask you to be respectful of my time. I hope to only set up view meetings with serious buyers.
Original artwork is not in my budget right now, but I’d love to own a piece someday. What do you suggest?
I completely understand falling in love with a piece and not feeling like the financial timing is right. I currently offer 3 & 6 month payment plans for original artwork, or you can take a look around my print shop to see if something fits your fancy until you’re ready to pull the trigger on a one-of-a-kind piece.
Who owns the rights to the artwork?
All rights to the artwork remain with me, the artist. If you buy a commission or original piece from me and never want it to become a print, you can buy partial rights to it for an additional fee.
Do you offer framing?
At this time, I do not offer framing. I have worked with local framers before and if you are interested in getting a piece framed, I’m able to offer you some recommendations.
