Question:

Does anyone know of some really good artists that allow painting requests?

I have some awesome ideas that my artistic ability just can't do justice to, and I'm just wondering if anyone knows of any very talented artists who will accept painting requests. If you know of any, could you please name them? I would greatly appreciate it if you could also provide a means to contact him or her and a link so I could see his or her previous work.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: First you have to find the artist that best suites the style of art you like, and then you can ask. Keep in mind, that kind of request could cost you a little more. Other things to keep in mind are, most don't ship outside the continental U.S. and most require a non refundable down payment. Also keep in mind that while the idea maybe yours the artist retains certain rights over the painting and most artist will request payment to waive these over to you. If they do be sure to get it in writting. If none payment becomes an issue, the artist could sell the painting and there would be nothing you can do nor gain from that sale.
