He also copies quite a bit so your never guaranteed an original or it’s an exact copy of someone else work. Thanks for the heads up brother.

dshre00 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 (edited) RE: Aury If by some miracle you do manage to get an original, non copied book...DO EVERYTHING in your power to not let him see your home address and ship to it. I would almost go so far as to say you should go in to PayPal and change your address to CGCs address when you go to pay him. A mixup at CGC headquarters would be a lot easier to fix with some phone calls than getting a fresh stack of 3 artist commissions delivered to your front door in a paper padded envelope with a single backing board per comic. Ask me how I know... Keep tabs on your PayPal deadlines as well... Edited September 17, 2020 by dshre00 ivdyer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he does excellent work. I REALLY hope you pitched in the extra for a pressing. It's probably going to need it. ivdyer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand delays or hiccups sometimes, but 16 months?!? That's just insane. He seemed contrite enough so at least he didn't get all defensive but still.

Yea that is one thing I was surprised at. I mean he brought joy to my childhood with those characters but I just can’t forget the service he provided. He was great when he came on my show to talk about the industry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposedly, they were done and then he "lost them in his suitcase" while flying. Buyer beware. If you do buy, get them one at a time.

I had one commission so far from out of country and that was Clara Bujtor. She was awesome ivdyer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
