Illustration rates: 
Because artifact complexity varies so greatly, I do not structure a fee schedule
based only on the number of artifacts submitted. Instead I base my cost estimate on the time I predict each individual artifact will require to illustrate and multiply that by an hourly rate of $40. This rate is low because my overhead is minimal and I work from an office in my home. The process: 
Call or email me and we can discuss the following information: what
the illustration is meant to convey and how the illustration will be
used (publication, brochure, exhibit, etc); a general description of
the artifacts; if appropriate, what views of the artifact will be
required (front, back, cross section or oblique) and time frame.
Once you and I
have agreed on a concept, I’ll give you an estimate of costs and how
long it should take.
Hopefully the
illustrations can be made from photographs. If not, they may have to
be shipped to me. I’m reluctant to do that, but we can use UPS.
They have a reassuring tracking method, are reliable and inexpensive.
It will be
important for us to be available by email or telephone to discuss
clarifications and revisions.
If we agree its
necessary, we can draw up a contract that spells out the scope
of work, the expectations of
each of us, procedures for change, cost, timeline and publication
rights.
