Where are you based?

I currently live and work in Auckland, New Zealand and I work for clients all over the world

Can I commission a custom illustration?

Yes! I create custom illustrations for advertising campaigns, packaging, editorial content (print and digital) as well as larger scale work like murals and wall coverings.

Simply send me an email to hello@valerism.com and tell me what you are after and we can take it from there. Alternatively you can also complete the form on my commissions page and I will get back to you with a quote asap.

Do you accept payment plans or deposits?

Yes, I have several clients that pay me in instalments.

What is your typical workflow for commissions?

We start with a briefing chat to find out what you would like (project, style, size, substrate - i.e. mural, digital, canvas, paper - as well as timeline), I then send you a quote. Once quote and timeline has been agreed on, I will start sketching. You can then provide feedback and I make changes to the sketches before creating the final piece. For murals/window paintings I also provide mock-ups so you can see what it will look like on your wall/window

Do you provide sketches or drafts before the final artwork?

Yes, I provide detailed sketches and mockups where necessary to make sur eyou know exactly what you are getting and are 100% happy with the result.

Can you create work for merchandise, books, or advertising?

Yes, I create most of my illustrations digitally and in vector format so they work very well for all kinds of uses and sizes.

Do you have prints for sale?

Yes, all art prints as well as paintings can be found on my shop page
