RIGHTS & RESPECT

Updated December 2023

Please note that throughout this text, "The Artist," "Sunday Avanti," and "Sunday in Bloom" may be used interchangeably.

Additionally, the terms "design," "artwork," "commission," and "piece(s)" are used interchangeably as well.

  • All commissioned work begins at a base price of at least $500.00. The price may increase depending on the complexity of the requested concept and the materials used. Price increases are subjective to the artist, [artist name]. Any price adjustments will be fully disclosed to the commissioning party before any payment requests. The artist, Sunday Avanti, also offers a sliding scale for queer and/or transgender people of color (QTPOC) in need of financial assistance. No work will be done by the artist, Sunday Avanti, for free under any circumstances unless stated otherwise by the artist.
     

  • Intent to use a commissioned design by the artist, Sunday Avanti, for merchandise (including, but not limited to: apparel, mugs, stickers, buttons, book covers, album art, podcast covers, tattoos, etc.) must be explicitly stated before an official rate is given, before any payment is made on the commission, and before the artist officially begins working on the piece. “Merchandise” includes any product being designed by the commissioning party with the intent of being bought or sold. If the commissioning party fails to state this intent until after the official start of the commission (i.e. payment and the first sketches) this may result in the termination of the commission. If it is discovered that the commissioning party is commercially distributing merchandise containing Sunday's designs without the agreement of the artist, Sunday Avanti, the artist may pursue legal action. Noncommercial distribution of merchandise containing Sunday Avanti's designs without prior agreement is forbidden as well.
     

  • The commissioning party has the artist’s permission to post the commissioned piece on social media. Credit must be given to the artist,  Sunday Avanti (@sundayinbloom on all platforms), on all social media posts featuring the commissioned piece. The artist may rescind permission to post at any point for any reason. If the previously permitted post(s) remains posted on social media after permission has been rescinded by the artist, the artist may pursue legal action.
     

  • Clients will receive an invoice directly from www.sundayinbloom.com. Payments can be made through the internal artist website or via Zelle. The client will be invoiced after both the client and the artist agree to move forward. Cash payments are not available. The commission process commences upon the full or partial payment of the invoice
     

  • Partial payments are allowed on a commission via an agreed upon installment plan. If the commissioning party opts into the installment plan, a minimum 50% of the total commission price must be paid before the artist begins to work on the piece. The remaining balance of the total commission price must be paid at the completion of the commission (i.e. when the artist completes the design). In both the upfront and installment plan cases, the piece will not be transferred to the client until all payments required on the invoice are paid in full. 

​

  • Commissioned pieces shall only be used for the intended purpose agreed upon by the artist and the commissioning party. For example, a design commissioned for the intent of an album cover cannot be used on clothing. The intent of the design is finalized at the time of payment and cannot be altered unless the artist agrees to renegotiation of the terms, intent, and payment of the commission. Any attempts to breach this agreement without negotiation will result in the immediate termination of the commission, surrendering of the final design by the party commissioning, and potential legal action.
     

  • The commissioning party holds the right to cancel the commission under specific conditions. Cancellations within 48 hours of initiation (i.e., payment) result in a 75% return of the deposit, whether it's a full or partial payment scenario. Regard the remaining 25% as a non-refundable deposit intended to acknowledge and compensate for the artist's efforts and creative input. Cancellations occurring after 48 hours but within 72 hours will result in a 50% return of the deposit. Cancellations after 72 hours lead to a total loss of the deposit, unless otherwise stated by the artist. Upon cancellation, the artist will cease work promptly, and the commissioning party may be eligible for a partial or full refund as per the specified conditions.
     

  • Prints of digital commissions are not included in the commission. Digital commissions are sent to the commissioning party via email. Prints of digital commissions are considered a separate purchase and will be sold to the commissioning party at a discounted price.
     

  • Should the commissioning party request a physical print of a digital piece, please allow 1-2 weeks after the sale of the print for the artist to mail the piece. Once the piece is printed and mailed by the artist, the artist will send a tracking number to the commissioning party to verify the piece has been sent. In the unfortunate case of the print getting lost in the mail, the commissioning party will receive a 50% refund of the total price and a free re-mailing of the print. In the unfortunate case of the second print getting lost in the mail, the artist will not be held responsible and there will be no other refunding of the total price.
     

  • Please allow at least 3-4 weeks from the beginning of the commission, or from the first payment, for completion of the commission. Requests for completion before 2 weeks will incur a ‘rush fee’ that will be determined by the requested completion date and artwork request. The rush fee must be discussed and agreed upon between the artist and the commissioning party prior to the first payment and prior to when the artist begins to work on the piece. The rush fee is determined at the sole discretion of the artist.

​

  • The Client acknowledges the importance of respecting boundaries and time constraints established by the artist for a harmonious and productive collaboration. Effective communication is vital, and the commissioning party agrees not to excessively call or email the Artist for updates, understanding that regular updates will be provided at agreed-upon milestones. The Artist commits to responding to emails and inquiries during regular working hours, with the understanding that emails sent after 3 pm on Fridays and before 10 am on Mondays will be addressed during the next available working hours. Both parties recognize the need for personal and non-working hours during weekends and evenings.
     

  • All commissions include 1 ‘re-draw’ (re-drawing/changing a design). If, after the included re-draw has been used and the commissioning party would like an additional re-draw, the re-draw will be classified as a separate commission and will therefore incur a separate commission fee. To avoid this happening, the commissioning party and the artist must discuss the commissioning party’s desired concept, details, and features clearly and explicitly prior to when the artist begins to work on the piece. What is determined to be a re-draw is at the sole discretion of the artist.
     

  • All commissions include an unlimited amount of ‘minor edits’ (any add-ons/deletions that do not change the design/integrity of a drawing including but not limited to adding/removing lines, changing minor details, etc.). ‘Minor edits’ may be requested up until 1 week after the close of the commission. If the artist feels as though this process is being abused, the artist has the right to limit the number of minor edits offered at any point during the commission process. What is determined to be a ‘minor edit’ is at the sole discretion of the artist.
     

  • The artist, Sunday Avanti | Sunday in Bloom, is at full liberty to decline a commission on the basis of incongruent political affiliations (including but not limited to support of fascism, imperialism, misogyny, racism, misogynoir, transphobia, queerphobia, etc.).
     

  • The artist, Sunday Avanti, is at full liberty to decline a commission on the basis of disinterest.
