Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! I'm currently accepting commissions for block prints, pet portraits, digital artwork, and ink illustrations. Visit Commissions for pricing and the forms to start our work together. I'm looking forward to our collaboration!

Fill out the form for the piece you'd like. I'll review your request, confirm the details with you, and send a quote plus an invoice email. Once your booking is set, I begin. When it's finished, I send you a digital scan or photo of the piece, then ship it with a tracking number once the balance is complete.

Yes. A 50% deposit, or payment in full, is needed before I begin. It's due within 12 days of the invoice, or the commission request is void.

Absolutely. I'm happy to send work-in-progress pictures and updates. You can choose on the form whether you'd like them at each step, just the sketch, or a surprise.

I keep the copyright to all commissioned work, including reproduction rights. You may not reproduce the art for sale or claim it as your own. If you share it on social media, please credit Taylor Invictus / Murder Mittens ART.

Please upload at least 3 photos of each pet, ideally facing the camera in good light. Half of a great piece of art is a great reference photo, so I may decline a request if the photos aren't clear enough.

Black & white charcoal, color pastel / colored pencil, or linocut block print, in 5x7, 8x10, or 11x14 (or ask about another size). See the price guide.

Up to 6 pets on one page. A 5x7 fits up to 3 pets.

Yes. If your pet has passed, choose "Memorial Portrait" on the form and I'll treat it with care.

Most pet portraits are finished in 2 to 3 weeks, and I honor a 30-day deadline. My schedule can fill up around events, so I can't guarantee the timeline, but I always do everything I can to deliver on time.

I sketch your idea and send it for your approval, hand carve it into a block, then hand print your edition, one pull at a time.

Design and carving with 1 color, including your first print, is $60 (4x6), $80 (5x7), $140 (8x10), or $220 (11x14). Extra colors, extra prints, and add-ons are in the price guide. Orders of 10+ prints get 15% off the extra prints.

Yes, for +$50.

Most block print commissions are finished in 2 to 3 weeks, and I honor a 60-day deadline.

The more detail you want, the bigger the block should be. Larger sizes leave room for all the fine little lines!

They're handmade Creepmas ornaments for the beautifully strange. Each one is hand-cut, laminated by hand, tied with a red ribbon, and stamped, dated, and signed on the back. See the Merry Creepmas Collection.

Reach out and I'll let you know what's available.

My block printed pieces are handprinted and hand cut, so every print is unique and each one varies a little. Size and finish details are on each product page.

Please reach out as soon as possible and I'll let you know the options.

Come say hello at a market! Upcoming dates are on the Events page.

To keep shipping costs low, sticker orders ship by USPS First Class letter mail (no tracking) in a stamped envelope, for both US and international orders. Larger items such as large art prints and originals ship with tracking in rigid cardstock or bubble mailers. Original artwork is packed with extreme care, usually in a full-size box with plenty of protective wrapping, and is insured for its value and size.

Please allow 1-3 business days for your order to ship. After that, US orders usually arrive in 1-2 weeks, and international orders in 2-4 weeks. Please be patient! Some countries may see extra delays.

Reach out and I'll let you know the options for your order.

Yes. I don't collect or remit VAT or import taxes, so your country may collect them when your package reaches customs, which can add delays and fees. You can check with your customs office before ordering. By placing an order, you agree that any import taxes, charges, or fees are your responsibility and must be paid to claim your package. They aren't included in the item price or shipping cost.

Yes. I ship finished commissions with a tracking number once payment is complete.

Yes. You'll review and approve the details before I start, and for block prints I send the sketch for your approval first. Once a piece is finished, additional changes are $35.

Reach out and we'll talk it through for your piece.

I'm primarily a self-taught artist and illustrator, and I've learned much of what I know by experimenting. I've taken a few drawing classes in community college and earned a certificate in American Sign Language Studies. I'm currently earning my bachelor's degree in Art Education!
