The Big News:
Taking Commissions
The time has come, finally!
My method will be to maintain a list of three clients at a time. When I complete one, a spot opens up, and I'll email those who've signed up to be alerted. This will hopefully keep my list manageable, and give you the chance to gather your photos and begin the conversation with me about what your vision is.
A 30% deposit will secure your spot on the wait list, then another 30% when I start, and the balance plus shipping when I finish.
If you'd like to be added to the alert list, send an email with the subject "Commission Alert List" to xan@xans-art.com
Thanks for reading, and I always love to hear back from you.
I hope you're all having a wonderful summer!
