Tawejea
- Greetings! I'm Tawe— An artist, streamer, and game enthusiast. "Tawejea" came from mishearing a Star Trek Voyager reference almost two decades ago, and the rest is mispronounced history.
- I’ve always had a passion for art, and have been drawing since I was a small child. I love learning new things and have a deep appreciation for history.
- I completed my Master’s in Art History from the University of Toronto, but strongly feel that my real education has come from practice and collaboration. But most of all, I try to make art that's accessible and have fun while doing it.
- I spent the last decade working for several companies as a Social Media Manager in the Board Game Industry, specializing in community building, content creation, and consistent growth.
- It was a fairly seamless pivot into Twitch Streaming, with a focus on Retro games. Often engaging in passionate tangents about game mechanics, history, and art styles.

Commissions FAQ
How Will This Work?
- (Stage 1)After agreeing to a commission, a half payment is requested as a deposit and to secure you place in the commissions queue. Although full payment is always appreciated.
- (Stage 2)Once your first payment goes through I'll begin working on thumbnail sketches. These are rough drafts to try and capture the idea of the piece. Feedback is highly encouraged at this point, as all thumbs are rough and quickly made. I want to make you happy, give me honest feedback and we will get there faster!
- (Stage 3)Once we've agreed upon the composition, I will make the piece. All major changes requested after this stage MAY incur additional fees.
- (Stage 4)When the piece is complete I will send it over for a final approval where MINOR changes can be made. When we are both happy, final payment will be due. Once payment is finalized I will send over the files where you are free to treasure your awesome piece forever and ever.
Content Guidelines, Revisions, etc
- I'm fairly open to subject matter, but I reserve the right to decline a piece. I am open to adult themed images and moderate levels of violent subject matter.
- I will not create an exact copy or trace of any other artist's work. Inspiration is understandable.
- If you have any concerns or don’t fully love your commission at any point in the process, let me know! I’d rather work with you to make it right than leave you with something you’re less than happy with. Its important to be honest early so we can complete the piece in a timely fashion.
- I am open to commissions without credit for an additional fee, so long as the credit is not bestowed upon another person/artist.
Payment
- All prices are in USD, and done through PayPal.
- At least half of payment is required upfront with the rest due after you've approved the final piece. Full payment upfront is welcome as well. Files will not be sent to you until full payment has been cleared.
- You are locked into a spot on my commissions list once your first payment has gone through (not when you first contacted me), until then your turnaround times might change.
- Failure to pay the remainder of a balance in a reasonable amount of time once the work is complete may result in a forfeiture of the commission. (Don’t worry, I will contact you several times before this happens).
Cancellations/Refunds
- If you want to cancel your order and I've already started on it, 50% of the total commission price will be refunded. NOTE This means if you paid half upfront, there will be no refund. If you paid in full upfront, 50% will be refunded. If the commission is already finished, refunds will not be accepted.
- I have the right to refuse any commission. Commissions I cancel at my discretion after payment has been sent, will be given a full refund.
- If you're pushy or rude I will decline your commission.
What am I allowed to do (and not to do) with these files?
- Assets that you’ve commissioned can be used on all your socials, personal websites, as well as for merchandise, stickers, business cards, etc.
- I ask that you do not use large scale pieces in small scale format (Digital paintings as emotes, logos, etc). They will not translate well and will not reflect well on my skills without context.
- Please do not alter, change or recolor anything I've designed.
- You may not copy, trace, resell, claim to have created, or allow a third party to use my piece without my permission.
Attribution
- Word of mouth is how most artists stay in business, so I greatly appreciate attribution! I understand its not possible to attribute pieces on all platforms, I just ask that when able you include my name and website.
- For Twitch emotes, you tag me as your artist when uploading your emotes, my Twitch link is twitch.tv/tawejea
- I reserve the right to use commissioned work in my portfolio including my website and social media.
