Commissions and Custom Designs

I’m always open to creating something new so please email me at tomsky@gmail.com for any kind of custom design.

Artworks

Custom made artworks start at £300 and go up depending on size and detail. If you have an idea that you would like to see made in reality, let me know what you are looking for in as much detail as possible including size, budget and deadline. If you have a specific image in mind then please send over any imagery, sketches or photographs, the more information I have the better! Don't worry if you don't, I'm always happy to come up with ideas around your theme.

Once we have agreed on the theme, size and any specifics, I'll make a rough sketch which will give you a general idea of the layout and highlight any particular details. When you are happy with this, payment is made in full and up front (or 50% upfront for larger jobs) by bank transfer or PayPal. When that's come through, I'll start working on a detailed sketch so you can get a good idea of the details and let me know if you would like anything changed. Once any necessary changes are made, I create the vector artwork for cutting which is the longest part of the whole process. I'll email you a graphic image of the final design with rough colouring and accurate scaling for your approval, once this has been approved there is no going back and I cut, assemble and deliver your piece. This process may seem a little long winded but it ensures that we're on the same page at every step of the design process.

Jewellery

Orders for brand new brooches, necklaces and earrings work in much the same way as artworks but there is a minimum order of 10 pieces per design. The price is calculated per unit and is dependant on the size and complexity of the design.

Alterations to Current Designs

Simple changes to artworks and jewellery such as changing the colour or making them  larger are no problem at all. Unfortunately making designs smaller is not an option due to limitations of the laser cutting. Turnaround is generally a week on top of standard production time.

Changing the contents of the design such as adding or removing details is also possible but more complicated as it often means every layer must be adjusted. The price and turnaround will vary depending on how complex the change is.
