recent commissions

hey kids.  hot of the presses...

OPENING COMMISSIONS...

 the day has come, i'm opening my commission list back up in time for xmas. just a crack though...

i will be taking no more than 5 commissions in the next week (until Dec. 5). all commissions will be in colour for $300 on 11x14 strathmore. as ever, extra characters and art direction will be extra.

if you're interested, please email me at the address above with the subject line: "XMAS COMMISSION: [name of character]"

all payment will be through paypal. all canadians will (must) be charged 13% HST (sorry!).

some recent examples below:

 

hal-con pre-order commissions open...

hey kids,

i'll be at hal-con this year and due to some unforeseen scheduling stuff won't be occupying a table for as long as i'd thought i would be. so if anyone's got their heart set on a commission or con-sketch the best way to ensure i'll be able to get one done is to pre-book.

i'll be taking on no more than 5. prices will be:

9x12...... b/w $120..... colour $180+
11x17.... b/w $180..... colour $300+

as ever, extra characters and art direction cost extra.

to reserve one please email me at: bigbug1(at)rogers(dot)com and write "HAL-CON COMMISSION" in the subject line.

cheers.

and now some recent commissions:

spiderman commissions...

if anyone's wondering why i haven't been around for commissions of late it's because i've been working through this massive undertaking for one dude! most of these have shown up on my tumblr, but i've finally managed to cap it all off with this painting of spidey vs. the sinister six.

thanks, don, for letting me have so much fun with these.

(and for anyone wondering, my commissions are still closed, for reasons that will become public in the next couple of weeks.)

cheers.

another recent commission...

GI Robot and the original suicide squad.

cheers.

recent commissions round-up...

well, it's pretty much all there in the title isn't it?...


last one's my favourite.

help!!! i've lost my commissions list!!!...

... so i sat down today with the intention of starting to burn through my now rather extensive commissions backlog and discovered that i'd lost my master list. the list that included all the names/subjects/contacts/prices.

fudd.

IF YOU ARE ON THIS LIST please email me at bigbug1(at)rogers(dot)com with the headline "COMMISSION" and remind me of your name, address, the subject (who is?/ what big?/ colour or b/w?), and the price we agreed on.

this isn't an opening for new commissions (although i will be opening that door again once i've knocked enough of these to make the list manageable again).

thanks for your help and your patience. i apologize for the breakdown in studio organization.

save the date...

just found this "save the date" card i did recently over at ifanboy's weekly sketchup. while i'm always flattered and thankful whenever anything of mine winds up over there, the colours seemed really blown out for some reason. so here it is again in all of it's none-blown-out glory:




...and congratulations to mike and maja!



EDIT: it's been fixed now over at ifanboy, so it no longer looks like a black light poster. thanks josh.
