How long does a commissioned work take? 

The timeline for a commissioned piece depends on James’s availability and current schedule. This will be discussed directly between client and artist.

What if I am a commercial client looking to collaborate with James? 

Commercial clients are welcome to contact James directly at jamescookartwork@gmail.com. James has greater flexibility for commercial projects, especially where there are fixed deadlines.

Can James type a portrait of my family, friends, or loved ones?
For private commissions, James is currently focusing on architectural scenes. For commercial projects, he is open to all subject matter including people, products, and cityscapes.

Can I customise my artwork with my own hidden messages?
Yes, custom hidden messages can be included, but they must be limited to appropriate content and not be overly personal. 

James offers a reduced commission rate under the agreement that the artwork may later be released as a limited edition print. Almost every piece available on the website was originally created as a commission or one-off artwork before becoming a print.

Do you offer discounted rates on commissions?
James’s pricing already factors in a discount, as the cost of creating a single artwork is offset by future print sales.

Typewriter art is highly time-intensive, with a single piece sometimes taking up to three weeks to complete depending on size and complexity. On average, James produces no more than 12–13 artworks per year. For this reason, private commissions (excluding certain commercial projects such as film productions or product collaborations) are offered on the understanding they may be reproduced as limited edition prints.

Are there additional fees beyond the commission price?
The listed prices do not include framing. Framing can be arranged for an additional fee, which will be discussed via email.

If you are a UK resident, please note that prices do not include VAT. James Cook Artwork Ltd is a UK-registered business, and UK clients will be charged an additional 20% VAT.

Are there shipping fees?
Unframed artworks include free worldwide shipping. Shipping fees apply for framed artworks due to their size, weight, and packaging requirements.

Are there import fees or taxes on commissioned prints?
In many countries, original artworks and limited edition prints can be exempt from import taxes under specific customs codes. However, the final decision lies with the customs or import officer in your country. While you may not be charged, you should budget for possible import duties, handling fees, or local taxes.

Any such fees are the responsibility of the buyer and are not covered by James. If charges apply, your local customs office or courier will contact you to arrange payment before delivery.
