✷ Commission a Fungi Friend ✷

I offer custom illustrations of little mushroom people! I offer single figures or couples with varying levels of detail and personalisation. You can decide the colour palette as well as some small details you'd like to add. Commissions can be either portrait or landscape for your preference.

Some nice small additions could be:

✴︎ Clothing such as a scarf, jumper or boots

✴︎ A little sprig of foliage - maybe you or your loved one have a favourite flower? 

✴︎ Holding a banner with a name or special phrase on it 

Important things I ask you to consider:

✴︎ Is your commission request in-keeping to my style as an artist? I assume you've seen my work before, so you'll be familiar with my skillset and style - I will not add backgrounds, fluorescent neon colour schemes or highly complex additions such as cityscapes or vehicles. Think earthy vibes! If you haven't seen my paintings before, explore my website and check out my instagram for my latest work.

✴︎ If commissioning a mushroom of a likeness of someone - be aware that these are not intended to be a super duper accurate, they are stylised mushroom creatures and I'm sadly not a portrait artist! However, I can add small characteristics like their height, favourite colours, hair colour and so on. I will do my absolute best! :-)

✴︎ Consider how many changes you’re asking me to make to your design. Please try to give me a good idea of what you’d like before I start working. This saves us both so much precious time! If an extraordinary amount of changes are asked to be made, I will ask for extra payment! 

Pricing

✴︎ Single Mushroom illustration ( 21cm x 29.7cm / A4 )  - £80 

This includes; one Mushroom standing, jumping or floating upright with your two choices of the small additions listed above

✴︎ Mushroom Couple illustration ( 21cm x 29.7cm / A4 )  - £160

This includes; two Mushrooms either standing, jumping or floating together. They could be embracing or holding hands if desired. Plus two of the small additions listed above.

Please be aware that though the paper size is A4, the illustration will not reach the full size of the paper, this is because I naturally work fairly small and it will also give you enough space to trim down the paper to suit your framing needs if need be. I leave roughly an inch border, please refer to the photos below. Custom sizes are welcome, but may incur an additional cost. Alternatively, if you're on a tighter budget I can offer a smaller illustration with slightly less detail. 

Ordering Process

To order your commission, just email me via hello@kate-aspen.com with the desired size, number of mushrooms, colour scheme and any extra details you'd like. Send over any reference photos if you have any as well. Then I will give you a quote and a rough sketch for your approval, make any changes you’d like (if any!), then get to painting. I'll direct you to my order link to take secure payment. 

All prints are posted unframed and flat in a sealed cellophane bag and board backed envelope via Royal Mail. Shipping cost is extra and calculated depending on your location. All commissions will be shipped with tracking no matter your location. (I'm aware that shipping is very expensive outside of the UK so i'm working on ways to combat this, such as future digital downloads or printables perhaps. Please bear with me while I navigate this and feel free to make suggestions!) 

Each artwork is original and unique. They are painted using high quality gouache paints, pastels and coloured pencils on heavyweight cold pressed paper. Once purchased they are yours to keep and frame. I have to also say that they must be for personal use only, not to be replicated, re-printed or reproduced in any way because art theft is a real issue and it sucks!!

I look forward to working with you! ♥︎

Here are the kind of Mushrooms I draw! These are also good examples of some different poses...  

These are previous custom orders with extra additions such as more elaborate banners, objects and foliage.
