Commissions: Shade The Changing Man UPDATE
on January 30th, 2011HOLD!!! No more commission orders for right now. Thank you!
Wow, after all these months, I have finally been able to get back to some commissions. I only have a couple left, and I will wrap those up this week. I am tingling with joy! This has been a long, long wait for my very patient patrons! My most sincere thanks to each one of you! I will post them as I scan and ship.
Here is an 11″x14″ portrait of Shade the Changing Man. I had a short lived run on that book back in the early 1990′s, but my job performance was lousy. I was sick as a dog all year, and was not candid with editor Karen Berger who wondered why I kept screwing the pooch on the deadlines. Oh well. Here I am back at Vertigo, so I guess I am forgiven!
I am now in a position to entertain future commissions. I will not accept payment until the week the art ships. Please contact me via the contact button for pricing and order info.
Commissions start at $150.
I HAVE RIGHT NOW an absolutely GORGEOUS full color Wonder Woman, which was started and stopped when I realized I had not followed client instructions properly. Oops. 11″x14″, 3/4 body with partial background. Normally I would charge $400, but first come first served to finish up for $250. I can complete this week. Order now!
SOLD!!!!
Also, I can now take orders for limited edition remarqued A Distant Soil hardcovers. I have a VERY limited number of every volume for sale, but no more than about 5 of the early volumes.
For a look at the quality if the final work you will receive, please CLICK HERE. Each drawing takes hours, and is a very finished portrait.
You may reserve your book at 50% of the cover price. Delivery GUARANTEED within 30 days. 50% due on completion. PLEASE be sure to use the drop down menu to indicate WHICH volume you want to reserve. Each is $150. We have a few of all four available. As a special nod to our foreign readers, because the book weighs under 4 lbs, we ship ONE VOLUME for FREE. 2 or more $10 extra.
RESERVE NOW!

Bad, Colleen! Very bad!
Tempting me like this. Sigh. Payment for Wonder Woman is made. Happy now?
;-P
Whoa, awesome! I will take down the payment button. THANK YOU!

That is an amazing piece of artwork and it really brought memories back. I used to read Shade all the time, but fell off the bandwagon with a lot of comics after moving a few times and not being able to find anything any more. ADS was one of those things I couldn’t find.
Welcome to the board! And thank you so much. I wish I was a better artist when I drew that book. It had some great stories.
I don’t think it has done too well in the US. I get these tiny royalties from overseas editions, but I don’t see any US GN’s. I think there was supposed to be a collection at some point, but I don’t know.
So many comic shops only carried the mainstream stuff. I used to get dissed all the time at local shops. One refused to order The Desert Peach for me, because it wasn’t worth their time to order one comic. So, I promised to buy two. And they still refused.
Now I live where I can’t buy any comics at all! Me sad…
Volume Three of Shade came out last July. It collects issues 14-19.
So, your work will probably appear in volume five.
For you collectors, Shade #32, penciled by our fine hostess, features Ernest Hemingway, James Joyce, John Constantine, and a banana.
(I was not aware that Shade shopped at Target.)
Shade’s got the discount groove.
Had no idea Shade was out in trades again. Shows how much I pay attention.
