I got in on this today, just sent my payment after getting confirmed. I thought about requesting something bigger, but got a head/shoulders of Dr Strange. I an moving away from having everyone do doc but this should be pretty groovy!

How much are you being charged for shipping and did he tell you the turn-around time for the piece?

I have to say thanks a ton for passing this along.

 

I actually stopped collecting sketches and doing art commissions about 11 years ago (long story), but last week I commissioned my first piece from another artist in forever. It must have primed the pump, because I saw this thread, hit the blog, and before I knew it, I was in for a piece with David.

 

Though not an impulse buy, it was a nostalgic one. It was Stray Bullets that really drug me into the indy comics realm in the mid 90s and got me back into comic shops more. I remember who showed me that first issue, and what it felt like reading it. The whole 9 yards. I loved the life in those stories. Real and genuine comics in a cinematic fashion.

 

I skipped out on the chance to pick up some of David's pages from issue 12 because I didn't see any that really hit me hard. So this turned out to be a great opportunity. I'll post the results when I have the piece in hand.

 

We didn't talk turnaround time.

Glad to see a few of you took advantage of this. Hopefully he didn't get too swamped with requests and is able to get them done in a reasonable timeframe.

I got my request in just under the wire yesterday and he told me it was going to be about a six week turnaround.

David told me I could buy blank sketch variants and send them out to him! and since I am sending stuff out to him he said it would be fine if I sent a few books to get signed!

 

This is an opportunity that has turned legendary.

So what is everyone getting? I'm on the list for what I'm hoping will be a majestic Stray Bullets piece...

 

Mine is a gift for a fellow boardie, so I can't divulge. Would love to hear about and eventually see what everyone else is getting, though.

I asked for Amy Racecar with a guitar. David draws an awesome guitar.
