People are always interested to know how much I charge for commissioned sculptures so I have outlined an approximate pricing method below. All sculptures are different and some take no time to finish while others are much more difficult to bring to the finished artwork. Prices always vary greatly in due to the different preparation and creation times. 98 % of materials that I use are collected from metal-yards, dumps and old fence lines, this takes up an extensive amount of time.
A small uncomplicated sculpture can take anywhere from 8 hours work to 40 hours depending on what it is for example a grass tree or a small dog made with a car spring might take between 6 and 8 hours to complete while a more realistic scrapmetal dog or emu may take 40 to 60 hours of work.
Sculpture, with consultation, planning, plasma cutting, searching and manipulation of scrap metal pieces, welding or wire weaving can take a long time to complete. A life sized bull or horse, could take between 400 and 600 hours of work, the size of the piece does not always determine the amount of hours that were spent building it, a life sized deer may take the same amount of time as a life sized cow if it is very detailed.

Shipping is in addition to the sculpture price and will be negotiated with the buyer as to what is the best way to transport the sculpture to its final destination the general rule of thumb is that is will be $2.00 dollars per kilometre if delivered to the site by me with any extra installation costs such as fork lifts, cranes, cement slabs or plinths being at the cost of the client.
You can have the creation of your sculpture videoed to use on social media or your webpage, like this one that was commissioned by Redridge Interior Queensland. This is one part of the whole series.
