❓Frequently Asked Questions

For orders, commissions, licensing, mentorships, and all other inquiries, see below.

🎨 COMMISSIONS

Are you accepting commissions?
Yes — I’m currently accepting a limited number of private commissions. Prices begin at $1,250 USD, with final cost determined by size, complexity, and timeline.

What types of commissions do you offer?
I create custom drawings in my signature black-and-white pen and ink style — works rooted in intention and intuition, often centered around florals, poetry, symbolism, or deeply personal meaning. Each piece is entirely original and unfolds through a thoughtful and responsive process. You’re welcome to reference past work that resonates with you; we’ll align on the overall tone and vision before I begin.

A 50% non-refundable deposit is required to reserve your place on my calendar.
Due to the permanence of the medium, revisions cannot be made once the drawing has begun.
All commissions are for personal use only. I retain full copyright to all original work.

Because commissioned pieces are highly personal and require deep creative presence, I take on only a limited number each season. This ensures every piece receives the time, energy, and care it deserves.

✍️ ILLUSTRATION FOR COMMERCIAL & CREATIVE PROJECTS

Do you offer commissioned illustration work for companies, publishers, or creative teams?
Yes — I offer custom illustration work in my signature style for a wide range of commercial and creative applications. This includes projects for brands, publishers, product designers, creative agencies, and more.

Final artwork is delivered in high-resolution digital format and is ideal for use in packaging, publications, campaigns, stationery, invitations, product design, and more.

Each project is quoted individually based on scope, usage, and timeline. The rate reflects the full process — from concept development and hand-drawn artwork to professional digitization, file formatting, and 1–2 minor revisions if needed.

Please note: I do not offer logo design, branding packages, portrait commissions, or custom pattern design. However, I’m happy to collaborate with your team or designer if a pattern is desired based on my illustrations.

A 50% non-refundable deposit is required to begin, with the balance due upon final delivery.

All rights remain with the artist unless otherwise agreed in writing.

🖼️ LICENSING

Do you license your artwork for commercial use?
Yes — select existing works are available for licensing. Licensing allows brands, publishers, and collaborators to use my artwork in specific, agreed-upon ways while I retain full copyright ownership.

Licensing fees vary based on the artwork, usage type, duration, exclusivity, and distribution scope. Whether you're interested in using a piece for editorial, product design, stationery, packaging, textiles, or another application, I’m happy to discuss the details.

Note: I am represented by Rosenstiels (London, England) for fine art publishing in the category of wall décor. As a result, certain pieces are not available for licensing at this time. If you're unsure whether a particular work is available, feel free to reach out — I’m happy to clarify.

To inquire about licensing availability and rates, please contact me via the form or email hello@virginiakraljevic.comwith details about your intended use.

🎓 1:1 MENTORSHIP

Do you offer private mentorship?
Yes — I offer a limited number of 1:1 mentorship sessions for artists, creatives, students, and emerging entrepreneurs. These sessions are personalized and intuitive, designed to support you wherever you are in your creative journey.

I draw from over 20 years of experience across illustration, art licensing, publishing, education, teaching, and creative entrepreneurship. My specialty — and the work I’m most passionate to share — lies in helping others:

• Develop their unique artistic voice and visual language

• Build creative confidence and reframe limiting beliefs

• Gain clarity around creative direction and next steps

• Navigate visibility and share their work with authenticity

• Lay the foundation for a self-directed, sustainable creative practice

I also understand that some students are just beginning to explore their creative identity — and that some parents may be seeking guidance or reassurance as their child considers a creative path. These sessions are a supportive space to nurture that growth with clarity and care.

Every session is unique. If there's something specific you'd like to explore, I’m happy to discuss it — this is a space for grounded insight, encouragement, and aligned movement forward.

The rate is $250 USD per hour session. A 50% non-refundable deposit is required to reserve your session, with the remaining balance due prior to your scheduled time.

To inquire or request a session, please reach out via the contact form or email hello@virginiakraljevic.com

💳 PAYMENT

How do you accept payment?
Payment is preferred through my Shopify site. I can also accommodate other methods, including Stripe, Venmo, PayPal, or check.

A 50% non-refundable deposit is required to reserve all commissions, mentorships, or illustration projects, and must be received before any work begins.

If paying by check, please note that it must be deposited and cleared before your project or session is confirmed.
Remaining balances (if applicable) are due prior to delivery or your scheduled session.

📬 PRINTS & MINI FIELD POST

Do you sell prints of your work?
At this time, I’m not offering regular print sales. However, I may occasionally release limited edition drops of select works — shared on my website and social channels when available.

Do you offer any ongoing print options?
Yes — I offer a monthly mini print subscription called Mini Field Post. Each month, subscribers receive a surprise mini print (shipped flat) designed to uplift, delight, or inspire. It’s a small, collectible moment of beauty sent by mail.

Mini Field Post is currently available for shipping within the USA only.

📦 SHIPPING

Where do you ship?

• Original artwork and commissions ship worldwide. Shipping and insurance are included for U.S. orders. International orders may incur additional shipping fees.

• Mini Field Post is currently available for U.S. shipping only.

How are pieces shipped?

• Smaller original works ship flat in sturdy, protective packaging.

• Larger works are carefully rolled and shipped in crush-proof art mailing tubes to ensure safe delivery.

🔁 RETURNS & CANCELLATIONS

What is your return policy?
All sales are final. Each piece — whether a commission, print, or subscription item — is created and packaged with great care. I’m a one-person studio, and many items are made-to-order or one-of-a-kind.

If your order arrives damaged, please reach out within 7 days of delivery with clear photos of the item and packaging so I can assist you.

Can I cancel a commission or mentorship session?
A 50% non-refundable deposit is required to reserve all commissions and mentorship sessions. This helps protect the time, energy, and planning involved in each project.

If you need to reschedule a mentorship session, I’ll do my best to accommodate with advance notice.

Cancellations are non-refundable.
