Can I get a donation of books/art/services for my charity?
Christina’s philanthropic efforts have benefited numerous schools, animal rescues, and other organizations, so please send along information about your charity, PTO, or fundraising event and she’ll get back to you. Keep in mind that U.S. tax laws are unfavorable to artists, so she has an annual cap for all donations and may have already reached this limit by the time you contact her.
Can I use Christina’s art in my tattoo/school project/blog post?
Christina’s art may be used with expressed permission only. All of her work is protected by U.S. copyright laws, so please ask BEFORE reproducing any of her illustrations.
I am self-publishing my book. Can I hire Christina to illustrate it?
Christina can only accept book projects that follow the contractual process of a traditional publishing company and maintain industry standards such as those outlined in the Graphic Artists Guild Guide to Pricing and Ethical Guidelines. She regretfully cannot accept self-publishing offers at this time.
