My current work are all digital collages, printed on canvas and then overpainted. They come in limited editions of no more than ten and since you can choose your size from 20X20, 40X40 or 60X60 cm, each versión will be slightly different since a different size canvas will mean different overpainting. I use only the highest quality of material for the digital prints on canvas that constitute one phase of her work. You can expect vibrant color, stretcher bars milled locally in Ireland made of popular or tulip wood, on 410gsm satin canvas with a very white base. This combination ensures both that the oil paint over the print will adhere properly and that your work will stand the test of time.
I work to keep things simple for you. If you are in Europe then you know about VAT. For now, we have added a percentage surcharge that we think will cover shipping and handling. It is the one cost that may go up with time.
I want to make it as simple as possible for you to celebrate an important person or event in your life by commemorating them in a commissioned piece. The first step is to message me through one of my social media channels, email me at alana@ealanajames.com, or fill out the contact request form on my Commissions page. When I receive your request, I’ll check my commissions calendar and give you an estimate for when I can queue it. I recommend you tell me right away if you are hoping to make the time for a special occassion or gift – I will try to do what I can.
After we confirm the starting date, we start with a conversation—by phone, or Zoom or any other similar media. We discuss your idea and you will send on jpg or png digital photos of the people, places etc that make up the story we are celebrating. I’ll ask you which work on the site you liked best and why and what sizes work for the space you have in mind. Then we set the price (generally 50% higher than the same sized work on this site. If you decide to move forward to the next step, after an initial 50% payment, we both sign a simple agreement, and I create a few digital options for your review. Once those are complete we meet again to discuss them confirm the details and size, after which I update the agreement that summarizes our discussion. The final 50% is due before the work is shipped to you.
This depends on the queue of commissions at the time of the order, how large the commissioned piece is, and how many iterations the commissioned artwork requires. While it is on a case-by-case basis, you should normally expect anywhere between 4 – 8 weeks to complete.
In the unusual case that you don’t like the final product, please email me at alana@ealanajames.com so I can make this right for you. I value your investment in my artwork and I want you to enjoy the process and the final work in your home or office.
When purchasing directly from my website, payment is by PayPal, which will allow you to pay using a credit card, even if you don’t have a PayPal account. Alternatively, you can contact me at alana@ealanajames.com for wire transfer details .
Work will be shipped out from Kinsale, Co Cork Ireland and we use the same company who makes our high-standard canvas prints to complete the logistics of shipping. This has been their business for years. Except for one or two large pieces we stretch the art on the narrow side of the stretcher bar – this eliminates some weight and most are shipped in bubble wrap.
Ask as we have communication about finishing the work. Much depends on where you are in the world.
Perhaps. It will depend on where you are in the world so I will get back to you with options.
Shipping and handling are included in the final cost as you complete the purchase on the site.
I will need a complete shipping address, either a residence or a business. We will need to be in touch through email so be sure to give me an email address you monitor frequently.
I want you to be 1oo% happy with your purchase.
