How do I start? It’s easy! Just send me a message with your idea via email to markcooper@markcooperart.com. It can be a song, a short story, or even just a few words about the "vibe" you want. I’ll let you know if I’m the right artist for your project.

How much does it cost? The price depends on how much detail you want. I can do a "painterly" style with bold light and shadows for a smaller budget, or a "high-detail" style with thousands of tiny textures if you want something very complex. Tell me your budget, and I will tell you what I can create for you!

When do I pay? I ask for a 50% deposit before I start drawing. This holds your spot on my calendar. You pay the other 50% once the art is finished and you are happy with it.

Can I see the art while you work? Yes! I will send you a rough sketch first. This is where we make sure the shapes and layout are perfect. Once you say "Go," I start adding all the deep textures and details.

What do I get at the end? I will send you high-quality digital files. They are very large and clear, so they will look perfect on t-shirts, album covers, or big posters.

Do you work with bands? All the time! Whether you need a single cover, a full t-shirt design, or a logo, I can help your music look as dark and powerful as it sounds.


 

Commission Price Guide
 

Level 1: The Manifestation (Standard)
 

Best for single covers or focused merch designs with one focal point.
 

The Style: A "painterly" approach focusing on core shapes. This style aims for a strong, moody image without overwhelming detail.
 

Turnaround: 1–2 weeks.
 

Estimated Budget: $300 and up.
 

Level 2: The Deep Rendering (High Detail)
 

The signature Mark Cooper style. Best for vinyl gatefolds and complex posters.
 

The Style: This is my most time-intensive process. It involves building up thousands of tiny textures, multi-eyed structures, and organic details. Because this requires much more "hand-time" to render every inch of the canvas, the price reflects the labor of the density.
 

Turnaround: 3+ weeks.
 

Estimated Budget: $1000 and up.
