If you follow me on Instagram, you know I recently delivered commissioned artwork to a longtime supporter and collector. I can’t show you the finished pieces just yet… but I can show you what inspired the collage design.

I’ve done commissions from time to time, and this experience was positive enough for me to consider making more custom pieces. I like working with clients to narrow down their ideas. And I know the piece is headed out of the studio as soon as it’s done, so I don’t have to store it for long. On the other hand, it does require me to divide my studio time between the commission and the work I make on my own.

Here’s where you come in: Should I seek out more commissions?

Or should I keep commission work to the occasional project? Let me know your thoughts on Facebook or Instagram.
