What Do Projects Typically Cost?

Every project is unique, but here are some typical ranges to help you plan

$0 – $100

Quick Creative

A single illustration, short story, or other focused piece — fast turnaround, minimal back-and-forth.

$100 – $1,000

Full Collaboration

A deeper creative partnership with multiple meetings, revision rounds, and a polished final product — like an illustrated story or custom portrait series.

$1,000+

In-Depth Project

Large-scale work that goes beyond creation into research, interviews, and discovery. Ideal for projects like a family memoir, historically-rooted narrative, or any work where the artist gathers and shapes the story alongside you.

These are estimates — you and your artist agree on an exact price before any work begins.

Common Questions

When do I pay?

Payments are milestone-based. You fund each stage of the project as it progresses, so you're never paying for work that hasn't been done yet.

What if I'm not happy with the work?

Every project includes multiple revision rounds. You'll have the opportunity to give feedback and request changes until the result matches your vision.

Can I set a budget limit?

Absolutely. You and your artist agree on the full project cost before any work begins. There are no charges beyond what you've agreed to.

What if my project scope changes?

If you want to add to the project, you and your artist can discuss and agree on adjusted pricing together. Nothing changes without your approval.
