"I am blown away with your ability to draw images of our tears, fears, joy, and laughter. Your passion drives the depth of your artistic range of talent and ability. Your hand expertly details the canvas of your heart and soul."
—Brenda Demonbreun, Author of Drumbeat Hear My Cry

From a single stunning image to a complete book.
Our Collaborative Process: From Idea to Icon
Our goal is always clear, friendly communication. We've designed a professional process to ensure your project runs smoothly and we fully support your vision every step of the way.
1. Discovery and Idea
Let's chat about your book or project—the direction, the feeling, the art, and the characters. Napkin drawings are very welcome here! We'll lay a solid pathway for your story. Work begins once we've sent a secure invoice and received the initial deposit outlined in your custom quote.
2. Roughs and Approval
We'll deliver a full storyboard, character designs, and color palettes. This is the most important step—it's the road map for your project. Think of this as the foundation and framing of a house. You will have a key revision point here to approve all sketches before any final color work begins.
Step 3: Final Art & Delivery
This is where we bring the approved sketches to life in rich, full color. (A quick note: All work is original and made by hand—no AI is ever used.) Upon your final approval, you will receive your high-resolution, press-ready digital files, perfectly formatted for your needs.
How to Secure Your Slot
Every masterpiece begins with a plan.
We provide a custom proposal tailored to your specific story and budget. Our pricing is transparent, and our milestone-based payment structure is designed to be secure and manageable for independent authors.
For Covers & Feature Art
For smaller projects, we keep it simple.
A 50% deposit secures your booking immediately and launches the creative phase.
The final 50% balance is due only upon your final approval of the finished artwork, ensuring you are thrilled with the result before high-resolution files are delivered.
For Complete Publishing Packages
Large projects are broken into easy milestones to help you budget. It starts with a $500 Slot Reservation Deposit.
-
Secures Your 2026 Slot: Guarantees your exclusive place on our production calendar.
-
Applied to Your Total: This is not an extra fee. It is credited 100% toward your project total.
The remaining balance is split into stage-based payments clearly outlined in your contract.
Three simple stages tied to our progress:
-
Project Kickoff (50%): Due upon signing the contract. This funds the deep creative work, character design, and storyboarding phase.
-
Sketch Approval (25%): Due only after you have reviewed and approved the full book storyboard. You don't pay this until you are happy with the layout.
-
Final Delivery (25%): Due when the final full-color art is complete, just before we hand over the high-resolution files.
