Let’s create something special!

Thank you for your interest in having a unique piece of paper art created just for you! Please allow me 3-5 business days for me to respond to your submission of this form, and understand that I may not be able to add your project into the 2026 schedule.

Submissions are reviewed and potentially accepted on a first come, first served basis, and the priority of your project will be dependent on the timeliness of your response to acceptance and completion of the contract process. Preference is given to projects that fall within the themes of paleontology, conservation, and memento mori.

If you have not worked with Beastie and Bone before, please scroll down to read the FAQs below before submitting your bespoke art inquiry to give it the best chance of being accepted. Thank you!

Be well,
Stacia

FAQS

Bespoke Paper Art

  • Beastie and Bone is now booking bespoke projects for the latter half of 2026 and beyond. Demand for custom Beastie and Bone paper art is high, however, so prior to submitting your project for consideration when books open, please read this FAQ section throughly, and reach out via email with questions.

    Please note there is typically a wait of a few months before your project can be started, but starting project discussions and settling on a contract as soon as you can improves your chances of a quicker turnaround.

    Openings for bespoke art are announced first to Patreon members, then to the Beastie and Bone newsletter (sign up form is in the footer of this site), and finally to social media (@beastieandbone on Instagram, BlueSky, TikTok).

    When availability is open, the Bespoke Art Inquiry Form is live on this site, and a limited number of projects that fit within Stacia’s schedule and desired themes (see Project Refusal section, below) will be accepted.

  • Bespoke paper art projects start at around $500 USD for simple projects such as single insects or small skulls suitable for mounting in frames up to 8” x 10”, $1500 USD for projects suitable for mounting in frames around 11” x 14”. Larger works start at $3,000 USD, while oversized works (any side of final framing size larger than 36”) approximately $5,000 USD. These are rough estimates, however, and the more details you can give up front about your project, the more accurately a price can be estimated. Framing and Shipping (if necessary, see below) are priced and billed separately.

    Pricing for illustration and design projects vary by size, scale, complexity, and intended use (personal, branding, product, etc).

  • 50% of the agreed final price of your project must be paid before work will commence work on your bespoke art. This is either a single payment, if work is able to be commenced immediately, or 25% paid up front (in the case of your project being on the waitlist) and 25% paid once your project reaches the top of the waitlist. The final 50% of the agreed final price is due once your project is complete and ready for delivery.

  • All Beastie and Bone custom projects require a contract that is mutually agreed on, and signed by, all parties involved, before invoices will be sent and/or projects commence. Contracts are sent via Jotform. 

  • Paper originals can vary widely in the time needed to complete them. Small works can take as little as a couple of weeks, while larger scale projects take months. These timelines can vary, however, depending on project complexity and size, and the speed of your own responses to when I check in with you for feedback on project progress. If you have a specific deadline in mind, please be sure to mention it when submitting your project for consideration, and be aware rush projects may be subject to additional fees.

  • It is strongly recommended that Beastie and Bone paper art be framed for display. If you purchase your bespoke piece unframed, recommendations on mounting and framing it will be provided to you, developed by the artist herself from her ten years of experience in the professional art framing industry.

    If you prefer your bespoke piece be framed before delivery to you, please note that the price of your bespoke artwork will not include framing. Beastie and Bone works with The District Gallery and Framery, who will contact you directly with quotes and bill you directly for the mounting and framing of your piece.

  • Unless you are local to Knoxville, TN, the only delivery method for bespoke paper art pieces is shipping through UPS via our local store, which has successfully and safely shipped originals across the world for Beastie and Bone. A custom packaging and shipping quote will be created for your completed bespoke art, and billed separately to you by UPS.

  • Beastie and Bone reserves the right to deny any project at any time. No project that promotes harm or disrespect toward anyone or thing based on people group, religion, sex, gender, age, ethnicity, or nationality, or contains content that is sexually explicit, will ever be accepted.

    Preference is given to projects that feature endangered species, paleontology, and natural history. Pet portraits, fictional/fantastical species or species mashups, fanart, or character art are not accepted projects.
