Al Feldstein

Does anybody know how much he charges for a convention commission? I contacted him, and Al told me he would accept a few commissions if he has the time over the weekend during the convention. I was just wondering how much he charges, so I better prepared.. Any info would be great

I'm not sure how much help this is, but I paid $60 for this simple drawing five years ago. Most likely his rates have changed since then.

Thanks for the info.. Great little sketch too!! Since I contacted him prior, and he said he was looking forward to meeting me, I dont see why he wouldnt take a small commission (if he knows swamped).. I hope it wouldnt run too much more than what you paid

First thing you want to discuss with Al is your budget (or what you feel

 

comfortable spending). If you view his website, he's into Western landscape

 

paintings for $xx,xxx apiece. Although you are just asking for a pencil piece,

 

he'll have to adjust what he does dependent upon what you pay.

 

(Al isn't one of those artists that has a sign with sketch prices. He just does

 

them when he feels like doing them.)

In Pittsburgh last year he quoted me $250 for a sketch. That was his starting point, but I don't think he had any takers.

From my experience, Al is not in any hurry to do sketches. It's not like he needs the money. And, he wasn't too interested in anything horror related. But if you get lucky and he likes you, you might score something. My pal bought a few of his prints and Al was in an especially good mood... I talked him into a quick horror sketch (his choice). He told me that he'd better not see it on eBay. I said that if he did, it meant that I was dead.

I think I gave $150-200 for a sketch very similar to the space scene above three to four years ago through the mail. He was very friendly in his emails. I told him I wanted a sci-fi piece but beyond that didn't specify much although we did talk about his cover to Weird Science #7 with the girl in a miniskirt and space helmet.

When you get the time, Id love to see a picture of your sketch
