Generic art is holding your brand back

Unique brands deserve illustrations that stand out. Too often, I’ve seen incredible museums, adventure tour companies, fashion brands and retail stores held back by mismatched merchandise and generic imagery that simply doesn’t reflect their story. Custom illustration pulls everything together — creating a cohesive, memorable brand experience that customers can't get enough of.

Your Questions

Answered

1. How long does the custom illustration process take?
Most projects take 2–6 weeks, depending on the complexity and number of illustrations. You’ll receive regular updates and opportunities for feedback at each stage, so the process is collaborative and smooth.

2. What kind of revisions can I request?
You’ll have two rounds of revisions included in the standard package, allowing you to tweak colours, composition, or other details until you’re completely happy with the final artwork. Additional revisions can be arranged if needed.

3. What licensing options do I get?
Licensing is flexible and tailored to your needs. We’ll discuss whether you need exclusive, time-limited or perpetual usage, and which products your illustrations will appear on. You’ll get clear options lined out in a contract so you have full control over how your artwork is used.

4. Why do I need a license for my illustration?
Licensing is standard practice for custom illustrations—it protects both you, and me as the artist, and clearly defines how the artwork can be used. This ensures you have the rights you need for your products, packaging, or campaigns.
If licensing isn’t the right fit for your project, we can also discuss creating custom merchandise ranges using your illustration, which can be sold directly as wholesale products instead.

5. In what formats will I receive my illustrations?
Your illustrations are delivered in multiple high-resolution formats—TIFF, PNG, JPEG, PDF—ready for print, digital, merchandise, or packaging. Optional mockups can also be provided to visualise your artwork in context.

6. Do you offer discounts for multiple illustrations?

Yes. If your project involves several illustrations, I offer pricing incentives to give you more value. Whether you’re developing a full product range or a cohesive campaign, I can tailor a package that fits your creative and budget goals.
