Softly Sticks

Hello, new friend.


Requirements
Due to the inconsistencies and most certainly the random rises in
Covid-19 numbers, I require all clients to be vaccinated.
Upon scheduling your appointment a deposit will be collected in order to secure your time slot. This will be non-refundable and held if appointment is cancelled. A new deposit will be requested upon rescheduling.

Flash &
Minimum
If you are claiming a flash piece, know that you are the only one who will be poked with that design (unless stated otherwise when flash sheet is posted)- my minimum for flash work is $85. If you're wanting an already claimed flash piece, it can be re-worked in order to make it a new & original work- however, a drawing fee of $35 will be required, as it now becomes a custom design.
All flash work will require a non-refundable deposit of $50 upon booking your session. This is only transferable once if 48 hours notice is given when rescheduling.
I no longer accept deposits to hold a piece(s)- if you want to book a flash piece, a date and time will be secured upon paying said deposit. This new policy is being put into place due to work sitting stagnant for multiple weeks after receiving deposits. Though this isn't something that happens often, I hate when I'm having to turn down work due to a flash piece being claimed but not booked. This policy is not in place to rush or force you to book a piece before you're ready or able to, this is just to keep me from playing the waiting game- if you are head over heels with a piece, but are unable to book for the month that is upon us, I am almost always willing to work with you and book far in advance. I completely understand that life is tricky and somethings need months of planning, so it will never bother me to look ahead in my calendar- this at least means that I am guaranteed work.

Custom Work
I do accept custom drawing requests (for a non-refundable fee of $35), as long as the design fits my style. If I feel that I would be a good fit for what it is that you're wanting, a fee will be collected, you can then expect a digital design within 3-7 business days.
All customs will require a non-refundable deposit of $100 upon booking your session. This is only transferable once if 48 hours notice is given when rescheduling.
If more than 14 days have passed with zero communication after receiving your custom drawing, there is potential for the piece to be used on a flash sheet or posted to my feed/story as an available piece to book. My time and hard work is precious to me, and if you regret to inform me of any issues regarding delays for booking said design, it is safe to assume you are no longer interested. Drawing fees are non-refundable- I keep my drawing fee very low because I want my work to be accessible to everyone so please proceed with a custom only if you truly wish to follow through with booking. I completely understand that sometimes things come up, we change our minds, or maybe we aren't a good match at the end of the day, but communication is key, and I deserve to know where your head is when spending time on something specific for you- I am not responsible, nor do I have the time, to reach out day after day, hoping for an answer on your end. If you are communicating with me that you no longer wish to move forward with a design, that's quite alright, too- just know that I still have rights to use these drawings for future flash sheets. I won't see work go to waste.
I do hope you understand that this policy is not in place to pressure, rush, or force you into booking a custom that you no longer want, this is simply to protect myself, my hard work, and my time.

Walk in
Clients
I work out of a private studio so this means that I unfortunately am unable to accept walk-in clients. There is rarely an appointment available day of, however, I will always post about availability due to cancellations.
