• Agreement & Down Payment: Once terms are agreed upon, if the commission price is in excess of $1200 USD a 50% non-refundable deposit is due to begin the artwork. 
  
  
• Final Payment: The remaining balance is due within 7 days of delivery and approval of the final piece.
  
  
• Typical timeline: 8–12 weeks from start to delivery. Expedited options may be available.
  
  

3. Creative Approach

• Collaboration: Commissions are a collaborative process—but always grounded in Mark’s artistic vision. This exchange often leads to discovery and creative evolution.
  
  
• Scope & Style: MWJ Studio only accepts commissions aligned with Mark’s body of work. Requests for subjects like realistic portraits or animals will not be considered. Most commissions are expansions on existing themes or previous works.
