Commissions of People, for People...

Somewhere along the line I got pegged with a reputation of drawing comic book style likenesses of regular folk for commissions (hell, I only tell you how to do it in my new book).  This probably goes back to my pre-comics career when I drew caricatures at the local theme park back in high school. Most requests are of drawing people as superheroes.  Not only is this a fun idea, but it also allows them to add extra inside jokes/themes that's personal only to them.  It takes longer to do and involves a little more effort (that's why I generally charge a little more for these) than a typical drawing of a superhero character, but the end result is very satisfying if the customer is pleased.

Here are a few recent commissions I've done of just your everyday folk dressed up (I chose not to put up the actual photos of the people depicted for privacy reasons):

 Jeremy as Green Lantern holding a kettle bell (he's an instructor)


Gift for Camille and Hans as Robin and Batman on their new house


A commission of Inga as Mary Marvel


Camel Toes

Later, dudes...
