Questions

How do commissions work?

Commissions start with a conversation about what you need. David works directly with clients to understand the vision, scale, and timeline. From there, it's a collaborative process until the piece is finished.

What's the typical timeline?

Most pieces take between four to twelve weeks depending on size and complexity. Rush timelines are possible but require discussion upfront. David will give you a clear schedule before any work begins.

Can you work in different styles?

The approach adapts to what the piece demands. Whether it's abstract, figurative, or something in between, the same principles of composition and execution apply. The work stays honest regardless of direction.

What about prints or reproductions?

Limited edition prints are available for select pieces. Each print is produced with the same attention to quality as the original work. Availability varies, so check the collection for current options.

How are pieces priced?

Pricing reflects the size, materials, and time invested in each piece. Custom commissions are quoted individually based on your specific requirements. Reach out to discuss what you're looking for.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes, pieces ship worldwide with proper packaging and insurance. International orders require advance coordination to ensure safe delivery. Contact David directly to arrange shipping details.
