HOLIDAY SALES EVENT!!! UPDATED!!!!

NOTE: There has been no turnout in the past two weeks for this. You know, people, it does take time to get the pieces done and mailed to you. Don't wait until the last possible second.

Commissions (Through Dec. 1st, 2009, then closed):

SKETCHES:

I'll be taking up to ten (10) 8 X 11 pencils only / B&W inked / color commissions through Dec. 1st, 2009. Any character, no nudity, up to two (2) characters per piece. No nudity / excessive violence. Once these slots are filled, I'm closing up commissions for 2009.*

Pencils only Commissions: $10 + S&H
B&W Inked Commissions: $15 + S&H
Color Commissions = $20 + S&H

I won't be doing 11 X 14 / 14 X 17 sized works due to time restrictions, as I want to make sure people get their art in time for the holidays. My apologies for any disappointment in that area. (For those of you who have made previous arrangements for larger works, your slots are already scheduled.)

* - remember it was originally 25 sketches? This is what happens when people blow things off. I just don't have time for that many pieces now.

SKETCH CARDS:

There are thirty (30) card slots open between now and Dec. 1st. First come, first served.

These are 2 X 3 one-off full color sketches on 110 lb. cardstock. Examples of such cards can be seen in my gallery. (In fact many of the cards in the examples you see here on DA are still available for purchase.) All trading cards - commissioned new ones or ones I have available already are $3 + S&H each. Any character, two character limit per card (though one character per card is preferred by the artist due to size restrictions). No nudity or excessive violence.

Shipping & Handling varies for overseas; please email me so that I may get a proper price for you.

All moneys sent via PayPal will remain in the account until your piece is shipped. Please cite your name and mailing address in your payment. You will receive notice from PayPal and via email confirming your order and that I have received your payment. This confirmation will give you an order recipt with a specified order number so that I can track your order.

All moneys sent by check, money order or cash - please include your name, shipping address, the commission(s) or pieces of work you are requesting, and an email / phone # to contact you with, so that I can confirm your order and that I have received payment, and you will also receive an emailed confirmation order reciept.

Upon completion of orders, you will receive a low res (50 DPI) image attachment of your order for approval before shipment, so you know what to expect in the mail.

If you accept, the shipment will go out and you will receive an email citing the day it was shipped. Shipments within the continental US should arrive within 2 to 7 business days; overseas I cannot say for certain, but I will try to get an estimate per order when I ship them.

NOTICE: Those who are ordering from overseas will be slotted prior to US Continental customers due to shipping times. Also, I'll slot the Hannaukah gifts before Winter Solstice / Christmas / Kwanzaa, due to dates. Please do not abuse this, and if you are celebrating Hannukah or Winter Solstice, please make sure I am aware of this so that your order gets properly scheduled.

ALL of the art will be shipped no later than Dec. 17, 2009 and if I have to spend extra on S&H out my pocket to get it to you before your holiday, I will. So don't sweat it, people- okay? Most pieces will get turned around within 2-7 business days upon my accepting your commission.

All orders of $15 or more (before shipping) will also receive a free 3-print set of my first professionally published comics-related work from March 1994.

Thanks for reading.
