Work With DonCarlos
If you’re here, it means you’re looking to create something specific. Something personal, something intentional,
something that deserves more care than a quick DM can explain.
I take on a limited number of custom projects each year. Enough to stay sharp, not enough to rush the work.
If we build something together, it should feel right on both sides.
Before you reach out, here’s everything you need. Clear, organized and easy to navigate.
Take your time.
Look through the guides.
When you’re ready, the next step is simple.
Start Here — Guides & Resources
These three links explain everything you need before sending a request:
the process, the pricing, the styles, and what to expect.
Smiley Face Commission Guide →
A full breakdown of custom Smiley Face character drawings. Sizes, styles, pricing, timelines, examples.
Canvas Painting Guide →
Details on large-format canvas work. Scale, color, framing, timelines and how custom concepts are built.
Our Style Guide →
The visual language behind my work. The rules, the variations, the universe you’re entering.
These will answer 90% of the questions people usually ask. They’ll also help you understand what kind of project fits best.
What You Can Create with Me
Smiley Face Commissions
Custom character drawings in my signature style. Personal, playful but built with intention.
Canvas Paintings
Large-format originals, built slowly and meant to live in a room for years.
Branding & Packaging
Visual identity shaped around clarity, personality, and long-term utility.
Album Covers & Visual Identity
Art that feels as personal as the music it represents.
Tattoo Design & Licensing
Custom concepts built to be worn. Timeless and grounded in story.
Collaborations
Projects that expand the world, not dilute it. If you have something real, I’ll listen.

Before You Reach Out
A few things help the process:
Share references (if it helps)
Share your timeline
Share the purpose of the piece
Clarity makes for good work.
Rushed ideas rarely do.
Closing Line
If you’re ready, send your idea.
If you need time to explore, start with the guides. The right project always finds its moment.
