Emerald City Comic Con 2024

I’m delighted to be returning to Emerald City Comic Con, February 29—March 3, 2024. I’ll be set up at Artist Alley table B-11 selling prints and comics featuring my art, and generally chatting with fans who want to stop by and say hello. As always, autographs are free. I’ll also be taking a VERY LIMITED number of request for original sketch commissions, so if you’re interested, stop by EARLY and reserve your space on the list.

More details below:

Emerald City ComiCon is being held at the Seattle Convention Center, with Artist Alley located on the 2nd Floor of the Summit building.

Artist Alley Hours are:
Thursday:   10:00am—7:00pm
Friday:        10:00am—7:00pm
Saturday:   10:00am—7:00pm
Sunday:      10:00am—5:00pm

My prints are 11″x17″ on cardstock paper. They are $20 each (already a savings over what they cost when ordered from my Etsy store), but I can offer a discount of 3 for $50. I’ll have a selection of Young Justice and Doctor Who prints available, plus Justice League and Harley Quinn prints.

I still have copies available of Once Upon a Time Lord, the recent Doctor Who graphic novel by Marvel writer Dan Slott, with artwork by myself, Matthew Dow Smith and Mike Collins, and Heralds of Destruction, the Third Doctor mini-series I drew with a script by Paul Cornell. Those books are $20 each, and can be bundled with prints for that 3 for $50 discount.

I’m doing commission sketches for the first time in a while at the convention this year. If I’m drawing on my own paper I’ve got 9″x12″ bristol, but I will also draw in sketchbooks or on sketch covers if you bring them to me. Head-and-shoulders sketches are $100 and a full figure is $200.

I hope to see you there!

Now taking Sketch Commission Pre-Orders for ECCC and C2E2!

I am currently taking pre-orders for commission sketches for Emerald City Comic Con (March 14-17 / Artist Alley Table II-8) and Chicago Comics and Entertainment Expo (March 14-17/ Artist Alley Table X-10).

I’ll will be taking a limited number of sketch commissions at-con, but my sketch list fills up FAST! 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.

I am taking orders for commissions to be shipped by mail as well, but orders tied to a convention appearance will take priority due to the definite time constraints.

All of my convention sketches are black ink on 9×12″ bristol. I will also draw on comic book sketch covers and in sketchbooks by request, but obviously I won’t be able to do the drawing in advance of a convention if I can’t get the sketchbook or sketch cover comic until the con.

• Two Characters – Full Figure: $180

Now taking Sketch Commission Requests!

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 Gallifrey One, Emerald City Comic Con, and C2E2, 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 $20 discount on full-figure sketches or orders of $100 or more.

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 sketch cover varient of the first issue of my Third Doctor series available.

• + $5 for Doctor Who Sketch Cover Book:
  The same rate structure applies to artwork done on a sketch cover – but if I provide the comic there is a $5 charge for the book, and currently I only have the sketch variant of The Third Doctor #1.

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!
