Rates
My process usually starts with rough pencil sketches sent by e-mail.
Then we discuss what needs tweaking and what doesn’t until I get the go ahead to do the finished art.
My regular rate is $ 40 an hour, with a three hour minimum.
I charge a "kill fee" for jobs terminated by the client after work has been done but before delivery of final art, equal to 50% of the negotiated amount.
I find it necessary to require an up front payment of 25% of the negotiated price before I can begin work.
In any case, my charges are in line with current practices in the trade.
Now, i f you happen to be in a band that doesn't suck and are financially destitute, I'm down
with doing Flyers, t-shirt designs, album covers, or whatever for free.
