Question 1

I WANT A COMMISSIONED PAINTING/LOGO/ILLUSTRATION. WHERE DO I START?

Accepted Answer

In my inbox! Please email me at theshaymonae@gmail.com. Direct messages on Instagram are fine for quick questions and responses. However, emailing me directly is the most efficient way to keep track of your order. If you would like an article of clothing painted, you can mail me the item of clothing and I will ship it back to you once completed. The shipping fee will be included in the overall price. Prices vary based on size, detail, materials, style, and time you'd like the piece to be completed. Your inquiry will be answered within 72 hours.

Question 2

ARE DEPOSITS REQUIRED?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A 50% deposit is required before I begin each piece. The deposit is included in the overall price of the item. Deposits are non-refundable once the artwork is started and materials are purchased. Percentage is negotiable on pieces $200 and up..

Question 3

HOW LONG DO COMMISSIONED PIECES TAKE TO COMPLETE?

Accepted Answer

Completion times vary piece by piece based on size, detail, materials needed, etc. Need a piece completed by a certain date? Please include that in your initial email and we'll work out a schedule. I am only one person but I try my hardest to complete all requested work in a timely fashion. It's always best to request a painting no less than a month prior to your desired date.

Question 4

I WROTE A BOOK! CAN YOU ILLUSTRATE IT?

Question 6

HOW DO I BOOK YOU FOR A BODY PAINTING/PHOTOSHOOT?

Accepted Answer

Body painting can be booked via email. Body painting prices are listed within the living canvases page of this website. Please inquire at least 1-2 weeks in advance of your photoshoot or event so that I can have the needed supplies ready for your appointment. I travel often but am stationed in Washington, D.C now! If the photoshoot or event is outside of Washington, D.C, a travel fee will be included. Prices for body painting vary based on the number of models I will be painting, body coverage, and materials needed for the artwork.
