COMMISSIONED ART ILLUSTRATION PROCESS
Commission Stacey Rose to create the fashionably inspired art of your dreams. Whether you are looking for bespoke illustrations for your walls, custom art for your business, or a memento of a special day, my illustrations will be a treasured keepsake for years to come.
When you commission me for a fashion illustration, you can expect a collaborative and personalized process. We’ll start by discussing your style preferences, color palette, and any specific details you’d like to include in the illustration. From there, I’ll use my artistic skills and attention to detail to create a beautiful and unique illustration that captures your essence and style.
My custom illustrations are a mix of gouache, watercolor, ink, and digital and are printed on Hahnemuhle German Etching, a deluxe heavy weight 310gsm, natural white, slightly textured, hand-moulded rag. Your final piece comes with a complimentary matted border so it is ready to be popped straight in a frame.
I also offer a range of styles, from more realistic to traditional fashion illustrations and everything in between, so you can choose the aesthetic that best reflects your personality.
Commissioning a fashion illustration is a wonderful way to celebrate your style and individuality. If you’re interested in commissioning me for a piece of fashion art, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. Let’s create something chic and beautiful together!

I like to use photos when you want an illustration to look exactly like a person, or pet.

During busy times (holiday rush), the actual turn around time may be longer but a timeline for each project will always be agreed upon and detailed out in the Artist’s Agreement.

While I am partial to a gold bamboo frame, I can arrange custom framing. This is POA and for international customers, this will require specialty shipping.

Yes. The Artist’s Agreement is a basic commission contract that details out all the elements of your custom illustration project. Things like the type of illustration, what size it is, when the rough draft and final drafts are due along with shipping method, and price are all included. If you’re commissioning a custom illustration for business use, the Artist’s Agreement will also include details about the usage rights transferred to you. This makes sure we’re both on the same page and everyone knows what to expect.
