A LITTLE MORE ROOM FOR YOUR PRACTICE
Who is the piece for? What did you agree to make? When is it due, and what has been paid? Keep those answers in one commission record, so several client projects do not become several disconnected lists.
Start 30-day trialNo card required. Then $4.99 USD/month if you subscribe.
After a client contacts you, create a commission with their details, the artwork title and delivery date. Save the brief so you can return to what was requested. Add more information as the work develops instead of trying to settle every detail before you can start tracking it.
Follow each commission from pending to in progress, completed and delivered. Keep its agreed price and payment details alongside the work. Before starting your studio day or following up with a client, check the project record rather than reconstructing its status from messages.
Review commission deadlines together in your studio calendar. A portrait due on Friday and an exhibition opening that weekend appear in the same view. Filter to commissions when planning client work, or show every category to see what else needs your time before agreeing to another deadline.
