FAQ
Answers to some commonly asked questions can be found here. If you have a question that hasn’t been addressed, please visit the Contact page to reach out.
1. What exactly do you do?
A little of everything! I design for products like cell phone cases and tour merchandise, I illustrate books, create custom invitations, and supply illustrations for social media, web, and print. I paint murals, design logos, do live drawing events, create custom artwork for your home or business, and license repeat patterns and designs to other brands. The possibilities are endless. Have something in mind that isn’t listed here? Reach out and tell me more!
2. Do you take personal commissions?
Yes! I love to partner with clients who are excited by my personal style and who can be flexible with creative control. If that sounds like you, head over to the Contact page and tell me about your project so we can get started.
3. What are your rates?
Rates vary widely depending on the project and scope of work. Please visit the Contact page to provide more information and get a general quote.
4. How far in advance do you book work?
Sometimes I may be booked out for the next couple months, other times I may be able to start that day. On average, I’ll start on your project within two weeks of signing a contract.
5. I have an idea for a children’s book, will you illustrate it?
I would love to! However, there is a lot of work that goes into illustrating a book, and if you don’t have the budget to pay for an illustrator, I’d encourage you to seek out funding or a literary agent or publisher first. Offering royalties on your future book sales without any up front payment or the support of a publishing and marketing team is a fairly hollow promise and not enough for me to take on the job. Serious inquiries only, please!
6. I love your work, can I share it on social media?
Absolutely! With proper credit. This includes tagging me (@roymeister on Instagram, Megan Roy Design on Facebook) in the first few lines of the caption as well as tagging me in the actual photo. Please do not apply filters, crop, or otherwise alter my artwork without my explicit permission.
7. What programs/tools do you use to illustrate?
It depends on the needs of the specific project, but most often I’ll use a combination of the ProCreate app on my iPad, an Apple pencil, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe InDesign. But you don’t need fancy tools to make something beautiful! Good old fashioned pencil and paper work just as well.
