Cost vs Results Examples
Below are examples of work I have created over the years and how much they would cost if they were to be purchased or if a similar one would be commissioned. Cost per hour is $50 in 2024. Cost may change over time. I am also willing to barter in exchange for services.
I rarely sell the publication rights to my work. Unless otherwise agreed upon ALL copyrights are reserved.
