Commission Sketches
I will be doing commission sketches during Gallifrey One, but I expect my sketch list to fill up FAST, so if you’re hoping to get a sketch from me, try to stop by my table in the Dealers Room as early as possible.
All of my convention sketches are black ink on 9×12″ bristol. I will also draw on sketch covers and in sketchbooks, and on …other things… by request. Payment due when you pick up the completed sketch.
My Gallifrey One 2018 Sketch Rates are…
- Full Figure: $100 for the first character + $80 for each additional character
- Head Sketch (shoulders & up): $60
Art Prints
I will have all of my prints available during Gallifrey One at the usual reduced convention prices:
- 11×17″ Color Prints: $20 each or 3 for $50
- 8.5″x11″ Color Prints: $10 each
- 8.5″x11″ Black & White Prints: $5 each
I’ve got a number of new Doctor Who and Young Justice prints since last year’s Gallifrey One including:
And lots favorites from past years:
And popular 8.5″ x 11″ $10 prints.
You can find a full selection of my prints, including more Doctor Who andYoung Justice prints, on my Etsy store.
Finally:
And, just to cover a few other questions I often get on Twitter:
- Autographs are always free and I’ll sign anything you bring me. (Check out my guide to asking for signatures and drawings at conventions!)
- I do not charge for photos and I am happy to take a photo with anyone who asks!
- I’m happy to do interviews, podcasts, snippets, goofy stuff, and whatever any day but Sunday, but the earlier you can drop by, the better!
I really am looking forward to everyone at Gallifrey One this weekend! Come say hello!
Now taking Commission Pre-orders for New York & Grand Rapids Comic Cons
I finally have a gap in my comics schedule and for a limited time am taking commissions for custom sketches. I get lots of requests outside of conventions, but am usually dealing with comic book deadlines that are too tight for me to consider additional work, so now’s your chance!
I am taking advance orders for New York Comic Con and Grand Rapids Comic Con, as well as orders to be sent by mail.

I will appearing at all three of those conventions and will be taking orders and commission sketches there, but my sketch list fills up FAST, so even if you’re hoping to see me there ordering your sketch in advance is the best way to make sure you can get the original art you want. Plus, for ordering and paying in advance, I’m offering a FREE PRINT with any order of $100 or more. My full selection of prints can be seen in my Etsy store. Let me know which print you’d like to get for free with your commission when ordering.
All of my convention sketches are black ink on 9×12″ bristol. I will also draw on sketch covers and in sketchbooks by request. I have a supply of the Doctor Who: The Third Doctor sketch cover variants available for $5 each.

Here’s my sketch rates right now. Samples of different varieties of sketches are below!
- Full Figure: $100 for the first character + $80 for each additional character

- + $5 for Doctor Who Sketch Cover Book:
The same rate structure applies to artwork done on a sketch cover. I can provide the Doctor Who: The Third Doctor sketch variant, but anything else you would have to provide.
I expect demand to exceed my available time, so I will commit to commissions on a first-come, first-served basis. Place your order early so you don’t miss out!

Colors: Hi-Fi
FC – 32pp – $3.99 – On sale: September 14
Order on Comixology

New Doctor Who Art Print & My Schedule for Gallifrey One: Station 27
This art print has been in my head since we finally got a good, long look at Gallifrey. I just love the design and colors of the city, and the planet, and I imagined the Doctor and Susan saying goodbye to it—how emotional that last look must have been for them. Well, I finally made it. “Last Look” will be available at Gallifrey One: Station 27 this weekend.
It will be in the Gallifrey One art show, and I’ll also have copies available in the Dealers room, along with many of my other art prints, including:
So feel free to come and find me if you’d like me to personalize my signature on your art, flip through my portfolio, or if you’d just like to geek out over Doctor Who (Or Young Justice or Superman or Batman) with me. Because you know I’m always down for that. And DEFINITELY make sure you stop by my dealers room table if you want to get yourself one of these:
You’ll find me at my table most of the time, except, of course, when I’m on a panel!
My Gallifrey One: Station 27 Schedule
Here are the panels and events I’ll be part of this year!
Fri 11:30am-12:30pm – The Cornell Collective Podcast Show
Join Paul Cornell and his guests for a live recording of his podcast, The Cornell Collective, a late night chat show where, each month, Paul introduces a television writer, a comicker and a novelist, and they talk about… well, there’s usually a lot of Doctor Who, and this time round it’s just about all Who. For this chapter, Paul welcomes writer Simon Guerrier, illustrator Christopher Jones, comedian Joseph Scrimshaw and writer/podcaster Deb Stanish!
With: Paul Cornell, Simon Guerrier, Christopher Jones, Joseph Scrimshaw, Steven Schapansky, Deborah Stanish
Sat 11:00am-12:00pm – Is the World Ready for a Female Superhero Lead?
Comic book based films are just about the hottest commodity in Hollywood right now… and while the past 15 years in cinema have seen numerous women superheroes, none are yet carrying a film on their own. We’ve seen tons of female leads on TV shows – from The Bionic Woman to Jessica Jones – so what is Hollywood afraid of? Will Wonder Woman break the trend?
With: Christopher Jones, Anita Sengupta, Audry Taylor, Michelle Thaller, Greg Weisman, David Wise, Marv Wolfman
Sat 12:pm-1:00pm – Also Known As: The Whole Story
In a world where intellectual properties are everything, where a movie or graphic novel is never ‘just’ that, and where transmedia properties are the future, ALSO KNOWN AS by Boxfly Pictures is a new science fiction epic that aims to cover movies, gaming and comics, with a graphic novel being launched at this years San Diego Comic Con. Meet BoxFly producer Haydn Pryce-Jenkins as he talks about building a property, its journey and its future, with AKA’s screenwriter Tony Lee, artist Christopher Jones and colorist Charlie Kirchoff with some sneak peeks of the artwork, and behind-the-scenes info on the story!
With: Christopher Jones, Charlie Kirchoff, Tony Lee, Haydn Pryce-Jenkins
Sat 4:00pm-5:00pm – The Craft of Comic Book Illustration
It’s not just sitting down with a pen and paper (or, more and more frequently, Photoshop and a powerful computer); the art of comic illustration is intense and ever changing. We’ll sit down and discuss some insights on comics illustration, including how it influences the writers and other creative minds, with some people who know the business.
With: Christopher Jones, Charlie Kirchoff, Todd Nauck, Blair Shedd, Richard Starkings, Lary Stucker, JK Woodward
Sat 6:00pm-7:00pm – Kaffeeklatsch: Greg Weisman & Christopher Jones

Young Justice Fans at Gallifrey One
While there will not be an official Young Justice event at the con this year, Greg Weisman and I would still like to have an informal Young Justice Meet-up on Saturday evening at Lobbycon, starting at approximately 7:15pm. So come look for us in the lobby and let’s hang out and talk some Young Justice!
Lastly, a special offer for Saturday night (including at the Young Justice Meet-up)…
Last year on Saturday night at Gally I was drawing Batman on everyone who asked. This year I am expanding the offer. I will draw either Batman OR Nightwing’s butt on anybody who asks. This is a Gallifrey One Saturday night offer ONLY. Just come find me and ask. I’ll be around. Remember, it’s either Batman or Nightwing’s butt. Not both. Choose wisely.
