I want custom art! Where do I start?
-
Send Me Your Info
It all begins with an idea! The first step is filling out an inquiry form so I can give you an accurate quote. Maybe you have a blank wall that needs color, or you want your company’s logo put onto tote bags or hats. Whether its a mural or custom-painted object like a guitar, vinyl record, or window art, I’m here to create something that will bring you joy!
-
Review Mood Board + Quote
Depending on how much information you provide, I may have a few follow-up questions. For murals, a site visit might also be required. Once I review your project information, I’ll create a mood board of the design and send over a quote along with an estimated timeline. Once approved, you’ll get an invoice.
-
Receive a Digital Mockup
For all projects, a 50% non-refundable deposit is required in order to receive a digital mockup of your project. This will give you a clear idea of the end result, including design placement and color. This is your chance to make final edits before the painting stage!
-
Let's Get to Painting
This is obviously the best part, when your idea comes to life! For utility boxes and residential murals, this can take 1-3 days. For all other custom pieces like canvas paintings, shoes, guitars, or vinyl records, I kindly request 2 weeks to paint and ship back to you.
How much do you charge?
Every project is different! Please click on each item to view the starting cost and know that this will vary depending on design complexity, the texture of the object, size, etc.
For murals, the amount of colors, location of your project, and site access may also factor into the cost. I am able to install murals at all times of the day and will have at least one assistant with me.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Fill out my inquiry form or send me an email with details about your project! I will need information like object type (mural, guitar, shoes, ect), size, design idea, and more. From there, I will put together a mood board for your project and a quote.
-
For all custom objects like shoes, guitars, vinyl records, and more, I ask for two week of painting time after the mockup is approved. For utility boxes and most residential murals, I typically finish in 1-3 consecutive days. Commercial murals or larger surfaces may take longer!
-
I prefer to meet clients at the mural site at the start of the project. This will allow us to go over the process and review any last-minute decisions. After that, I’m able to paint independently and ask that there is access to a restroom.
-
I’m happy to put together a mood board of inspirational photos for your project free of charge! There is a fee for creating mockups as this will be a detailed rendering of your project. I’ll draw out all the elements, put together a color palette, and project this onto an image of your wall or object. This process can take anywhere between 2-4 hours and this fee allows me to secure your project’s deadline into my schedule.
-
For all projects, I require a 50% non-refundable deposit in order to secure your deadline and receive a digital mockup. The rest of your invoice will be due upon project completion. I take payment via Venmo, PayPal, or check.
-
For all small objects like guitars, shoes, vinyl records, and more, you can ship your item to my P.O. Box. Once I’m done painting, I’ll pack it up for you and ship it back. For murals outside of San Diego, I will travel! I love exploring the world and will paint your mural even if you’re in another state or county.
-
As an independent artist, I try my best to price my work based on my level of experience, design complexity, and a reasonable cost of living. I can offer discounts to local nonprofits and payment plans to those who need more of a 50% breakdown.
-
For all murals, I primarily use interior/exterior house paint. You can buy sample sizes from most stores, or smaller acrylic tubes can be used for smaller surfaces.
-
For all of my custom shoes, I use paint, paint brushes, and varnish by Angelus Direct.
-
Yes! I am open to any project, whether that’s creating something new or revitalizing an old design.
-
I haven’t said no to anything yet! Some objects I would LOVE to paint on are little libraries, mailboxes, sports balls, leather bags, and more. I’m always up for a challenge, so reach out and let’s see what we can do!
-
For murals and utility boxes, I mostly use brushes from stores like Home Depot, Michaels, or Lowes. For acrylic paintings and shoes, I use a mix of Angelus, Winsor & Newton, Princeton, and other brands. For me, it’s less about the brand and more about how the brush works for the object I’m painting. They are tools, so sometimes the oldest, stiffest brush is best!
