If you’ve never commissioned art before, you might be surprised to realize that, traditionally, it involves both artist and client to sign a contract (either physically or digitally). This can seem a little intimidating initially, but don’t let it scare you off! It’s common practice, and simply there to protect both parties against worst-case scenarios.
“I am broken, but I am happy to be alive as long as I can paint.” –Frida Kahlo
