Currently only accepting book and album cover commissions at this time. Please do not contact me regarding personal commissions—if they are opened, terms and information on them will be added to this page.
If you’re interested in hiring me for a project, please email me at [email protected] with information on your project.
More examples of my work can be seen on my Instagram and Facebook @lissiedixonart, as well as on the blog and portfolio pages hosted on this website.
Terms, conditions and general info for book covers:
• Covers with an unusual amount of detail, such as a large crowd, a city, etc. will add more to the cost, depending on subject matter and how long it will take. Quotes vary case-by-case, but most will be in the $100-$250 range.
NOTE: Titling and text costs extra and is not included by default. On average, titling and text will cost around $15 unless you want a custom title to be illustrated. Custom illustrated titles start at $30. You may also add your own titling and text if you do not wish to pay extra.
• Preference for middle grade and YA covers, but open to doing others as well.
• WILL NOT illustrate gore, nor suggestive or politically-based pieces.
• I do not work in photo-realistic styles. Only stylized.
• You’ll receive a full-size digital PNG file, as well as a layered PSD file in a zip file via Google Drive link. Cover will be at least print size and quality. Generally files will be around 11” x 17” at 300 dpi, but may vary.
• Payment can currently only be accepted via PayPal.
• Covers will take anywhere from a week to a month (or even longer in rare cases) depending on my current queue and how complex your order is, so make sure you leave plenty of time before your title is due for publication! I will give you a rough estimate of timeline once I begin.
• I reserve the right to turn down any commissions for any reason.

“What do I need to provide?”
• Description of what you would like on the cover, including character and location descriptions. The more detailed the better, and if you have references, excellent! If you aren’t entirely sure what you’d like to be on your cover, I can work with you to an extent to develop it.
• Fee, of course. Half required up-front, second half required before final files are delivered.
• Templates for the cover, and if no templates are available, print size and page count should suffice.

Terms, conditions and general info for album covers:
• Covers with an unusual amount of detail, such as a large crowd, a city, etc. will add more to the cost, depending on subject matter and how long it will take. Quotes vary case-by-case, but most will be in the $70-$250 range.
NOTE: Titling and text costs extra and is not included by default. On average, titling and text will cost around $10 unless you want a custom title to be illustrated. Custom illustrated titles start at $30. You may also add your own titling and text if you do not wish to pay extra.
• Back cover is not included by default. You may choose to add one to your order, which will add to the fee. Depending on complexity, back covers may range anywhere from $15 (Only song titles and simple illustration to match front) or cost just as much as the front cover, if you want the same amount of detail. Digital-only music likely will not need a back cover, so think about what’s best for your project. Spine art for hard cases is included with back covers.
• Preference for clean music.
• WILL NOT illustrate gore, nor suggestive or politically-based pieces. WILL NOT illustrate covers for explicit music.
• You’ll receive a full-size digital PNG file, as well as a layered PSD file in a zip file via Google Drive link. Cover will be at least print size and quality. Generally files will be around 12” x 12” at 300 dpi so you can resize to your needs, but please let me know if you need the cover bigger and we can discuss.

Grayscale interior illustrations for novels are available as well. Estimates vary based off how many illustrations are desired, as well as style. Please email me with details on your project, along with preferred style, and I’ll let you know if it sounds like something I’d like to do, and if so, give you an estimate.
Due to the quantity of illustrations per book, turnaround time on these may take longer than covers.
