Commissioning a bespoke portrait with Erin

Ballpoint Pen Starts at $1000 | Ink on Yupo Starts at $1500 | Watercolor starts at $5000

The Creative Process

Working with Erin O’Neill on a commission is an elevated and very personal experience. Following an initial meeting the artist will schedule a time to photograph the subject in person. Once the artist has reference photos of the subject they will offer three mock-ups to choose from before commencing work on the final work of art.

The Payment

There are three equal payments as follows:

1st payment: The first installment is due by the date of the scheduled photo shoot. The artist will commence working on the commission by meeting the subject and taking reference photographs. Any travel expenses incurred for photo shoots outside the Chicago area are to be paid by the client.

2nd payment: The artist will deliver three mock-ups of the composition for you to choose from.

3rd payment: The artist will finish the original commission and it will be ready for pick-up from her Chicago studio with in an agreed upon timeframe.
