Before you my dear visitor went away from this page without asking, but also without answers,
i try to answer some frequently asked ones upfront:
-
• Do you have Tutorials?
Yes i have, take a look here:
• Would you do a tutorial for our magazine, book, etc for free?
No i won´t, basically the creation of artworks is my job - so the creation and additional expenses must be compensated to fix costs. Sorry.
• Will there be a „fantasio art book“ available someday?
I hope so, it could either be the adult storybook „Abraxas“ or a portfolio -book from the „Fantasio -girls“.
If you are a publisher specialised in these books, let me know.
• Will it be possible that you exhibit in U.S. someday?
Another „i hope so“, but there are expenses and if these are covered than its definitly possible, until that i will only take on spots across europe or germany.
• Do you commissions, what are your rates?
First i have to decide between commercial und private commissions. Commissions for new clients with payment 50/50 upfront -paypal only!
The price is mainly depending on detail, size and output.
For commercial rates there is a good site to get an overview right here: Mediafon
• Can i use your piece:“putinnamehere.jpg“ on my blog website,etc.?
Basically yes, but if so, please be sure the images where not used in relation with religion, violence, political or otherwise misleading content. Be sure to link back to fantasio.info and / or name the copyright, thanks.
• Is it possible to use your art for tags, tubes, sigs or other psp stuff?
Sure, because of a lot requests i have signed with MTA to licence a bunch of images to use, go there for more infos.
If the image you´d like to use is not include, its either a commissioned one, or still not in the pack ->suggest it!
• Are you available for Airbrush-related work, such as murals, Garage-doors, Custombikes?
Sorry i cannot take commissions for that, i do however designs for prints and foliage-plots, so ask me for that, but no traditional wall or custompaintings.
I do rarely still some fuel -tank caps or a guitar-design, but be warned it could take very long to get it finished.
• Can i do ascholastic internship at Fantasio fine Arts?
No, its not recommanded, due to the unsteady working times, long sleep and such;-)
However, if you like to get an insight in my work, a few days can be arranged, but not weeks - i´m a maverick when it comes to work at the studio.
• Do you sell prints?
Sure, have a look in the shop - if a piece is missing i try to make it available, if you´d rather like to have a signed or limited one - let me know also. But consider that wherever you come from the postage cost can be high, so making a purchase via deviantart could safe you if you come from U.S. for example.
• What about licensing for a bookcover or CD-cover what are your rates?
First it depends again on the usage, commercial, number of copies, selling price.
For bands: please don´t be shocked when you hear a common rate of 600,- USD for a cover usage. Every serious band that goes for their stuff has this expense back in about 4-6 gigs with merch.
A selling image is a selling image, everything else sucks big time - but please make the experience for yourselves.
• Do you do collaborate with me?
It depends, i´m open for any kind of collaboration, even those that don´t pay of. But those i chose for myself, so there is nothing you can do about.
If you are a publisher, art director, art agent or curator of a gallery then i relly like to hear from you.
If you do online publishing or articles about artists, interviews in magazines you are welcome too.
Its seldom but i also collaborate with artists on various projects, if you feel like a muse, send me pictures, if you are a photographer too, for artistic projects there must be something really inspiring, but go ahead if you think it ould fit.
• Can i ask you for a different style than the ones you show here?
Sure, i´m open to every media, show me examples of the style you are going for and i do an example sheet of whats possible. From there you can decide what to do. If its something i can´t do - i´ll let you know that.
• Cancellation fee or „kill fee“, is there one, and if so how much?
Its possible that you the client is not satisfied with the result, or your client if you are an agent.
I´m however objective when it comes to that and are able to change even finalized results, to make sure you or your clients are happy with the result - i´m not an artsy basehead.
But if that all doesn´t work, it depends on the work put into the piece to that certain point and to which point the cancellation comes. basically its 1/3, 2/3, 3/3 of the negotiated price depending on the status of the work which is done so far.
• What if i ordered a signed print from you and it won´t arrive here in the U.S.
keep beeing patient, i know to Canada it could take up to 3 month by basic shipping, but to the U.S. it took around 4-6 weeks with standard shipping options(which is very expensive from germany)
If after the given time nothing should happen, talk back to me to find a solution.
