Can I request an art commission?
YES!
This process can take 2-4 weeks to 2-4 months depending on the complexity of the project and the current workload happening for BCS.

Full color commissions can Start at $300 and are subject to change based on the complexity, deadline, and medium (print vs high-resolution digital delivery)
