Projects
vary according to size, complexity, and scope, so determining
an exact quote for a certain kind of work can be difficult.
I
work in one of two ways: either by charging an hourly rate for
the specific time worked, or by negotiating an overall price prior
to the start of a commission. In both cases, I prefer to have
a signed contract and get paid in specific installments while
the work is being done.
RATES
My
basic rate is $35 an hour, plus the cost of materials and travel
(when applicable for meetings and on-site work). For larger projects
where a minimum of 2 weeks (80 working hours) are guaranteed,
I can lower my rate to $30 an hour.
COMMERCIAL
ARTWORK
For
artwork that is intended for commercial sale (such as posters
or book illustrations), an additional agreement covering copyright
and royalties must be negotiated prior to the commencement of
any work.
If
you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact
me.
