My commission list for FRIDAY ONLY for NYCC Oct 18, 2024 is now OPEN.
There are only a few slots open for this day. If you do not receive a reply back by 9am Friday morning that means that day’s list is full.
But you can try again for the following days’ lists each night at 8pm.
Please still stop by my Artist Alley table J-15 to say “Hi!” and check out the prints and original art I have available!
Due to time constraints, I am only offering head shot and remarque commissions, no more half figure commission slots for the weekend.

To be eligible for a con commission:

   (Artist reserves the right to decline certain designs or make adjustments as artist deems necessary.)
   
7. At least 3 alternate characters (in case I am not able to fulfill your first character suggestion request).
   NOTE: Please include a head shot commission alternate choice in case half figure commission request slots fill up or not available for a specific day due to other convention responsibilities.
   
8. Which days of the convention are you attending?
   
9. Specify if you want your commission on my art board or if you are bringing a sketch cover for your commission. I am not currently doing commissions in sketchbooks.
   
10. CGC grading (or other comics grading services) for commissions drawn on sketch covers, add $20 to the commission price.
    (NOTE! This does not include the comics grading service’s fee. Check with your comics grading service to see what they charge to grade a sketch cover commission.)
    
11. You must appear at my Artist Alley table, ii-01, the following day to confirm and pay for your commission by 1pm. Otherwise your spot could be forfeit. The sooner you check in the more time I have to devote to the commission! If you know you will be getting into the con late that day, please email me to let me know. 😀
    (NOTE: You MUST be attending that convention to be on the list for that specific convention weekend. I will not be able to mail any commissions out from or after the convention. Commissions spots are not transferable to other days of the con.)
12. *NOTE: Commission requests that require celebrity or actor likenesses (and possibly video game, anime, and certain movie/TV characters) may be declined. No personal or your creator-owned characters, please.
    
13. **NOTE: Due to the intricacies of working with acrylic paint, most remarques most likely will be done in my hotel room for pick-up the next day.
    
14. All commissions are single character!

If I reply back, you are on that next day’s list! I will reply with how you can pay for your commission to lock it in. You must check in at my table the next day to secure your spot otherwise it could be offered up to someone else that day on the show floor.
I will either draw your commission on the con floor that next day or finish it in the hotel that next night for pick up the following day (and there is the slight possibility I will draw a commission or commissions the night of accepting requests, time permitting).

Due to evening commitments during the convention weekend. replies to those that have made the next day’s list may not go out until after 12am.

YOU MUST BRING YOUR I.D. and CONVENTION BADGE/PASS FOR COMMISSION PICK-UP!
I will specify a time for you to come by my table for you to confirm and pay for your commission. If you have not done so my that time that spot on the list could be offered up to another attendee.

Due to the number of emails I may receive, I cannot guarantee I will be able to reply if you do not make the next day’s list. So if you haven’t heard back from me by 9am the following morning, my list for that day has filled.

I will repeat this email process with a new code word each night before the next day of that convention. So if you didn’t get on my list on Thursday night for Friday’s list, there is always Friday night’s code word to get a shot at Saturday’s list and so on.
Remember! Each code word is ONLY for that following day’s list! So the weekend would look kinda like this (depending on length of the specific convention):

• Wednesday night code word email ONLY for Thursday’s list
• Thursday night code word email ONLY for Friday’s list
• Friday night code word email for ONLY Saturday’s list
• Saturday night code word email for ONLY Sunday’s list

I’ll also have some 9×12 pre-drawn studio commissions and 11×17 original comic art pages for sale at my table as well as limited edition prints and sketchbooks.

I thank EVERYONE for their continued support and understanding.
You all are awesome!

I have been made aware there are 2 fake Todd Nauck Facebook accounts.  
https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61563032620384 Established Nov 16, 2020.
https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100095247588233 Established Aug 1, 2023.
(See pics of these accounts below.)

The fake accounts are simply taking and reposting what I have posted on the Art of Todd Nauck Facebook page and pretending to be me. 
There is also a fake “San Diego Comic Con International Group”, https://www.facebook.com/groups/110121385508822, that is supposedly moderated by me. This is also not me.

I just found out one is soliciting people to draw commissions as me, taking a down payment, then not drawing the art.
I have not and do not privately solicit people to draw commissions for them.
I have a very specific studio/convention commission procedure strictly here on my site. My studio commission list has been closed for quite a while now and will not reopen anytime too soon. When I do reopen for studio commissions, I will announce it on all my official social media accounts including my site, toddnauck.com, with specific instructions.

These are my official social media pages:
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ArtOfToddNauck/
Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/toddnauck/
Threads: https://www.threads.net/@toddnauck
YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/toddnauck
X: https://x.com/toddnauck
Tumblr: https://www.tumblr.com/toddnauck
Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/toddnauck.bsky.social

I am in the process of trying to get FB to shutdown and delete these impersonating accounts. In the meantime, please do not purchase any art/commissions from these fake accounts asking if you want a piece of “Todd Nauck art” or a print. Please do not accept their friend requests or follow their accounts. It is NOT me.

My only public FB presence is the Art of Todd Nauck FB page. My personal FB page (that I’ve had since around 2009) is strictly for family, close personal friends, and industry colleagues. Anything else on FB claiming to be me is 100% fake.

From 1998-2003, I got to help launch a new series at DC Comics with the legendary comics writer, Peter David. We did a series called Young Justice. I have been a fan of his writing since I was a teenager and having the opportunity to work with him was a thrill and honor. He has not only been a friend but a supporter of my art. Peter was instrumental in opening doors for regular work at Marvel on his Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man series in 2006-2007. In 2021, we did an X-Men Legends story. That makes 71 comics Peter and I have done together so far!
Having worked on so many comics together and seeing Peter and his family at many comic cons across the U. S., they are very special to Dawn and I.

Last year, Peter suffered a stroke and mild cardiac arrest.
There is a GoFundMe page to raise money to cover his medical bills and care. The recovery has been slow going and the David family still can use our help! Amidst medical bills and care, they are also in need of a new roof on their house as winter is drawing near.
Click HERE to make a donation of any amount!

I have drawn up this all-new, one-of-a-kind, original drawing of the 1998 Young Justice original 3 boys, Robin, Superboy, and Impulse on a Young Justice (Brian Michael Bendis era) sketch cover to auction on eBay to help raise some more money for Peter and his family. The proceeds (after applicable eBay and PayPal fees) from this auction will go to Peter’s GoFundMe account. This auction will end 10am Pacific Time on November 16, 2023.

-Todd Nauck

30 years ago, my first paid and published pro comic work debuted as the back cover of Marvel’s humor comic book, WHAT THE–?! issue #21.
I was still a student at the Art Institute of Dallas. It was my first assignment after a good number of portfolio reviews at the Dallas comic cons I attended back then. 

At that time, Marvel would have a table with creators and editors at the Dallas Fantasy Fairs every March, July, and November.
Marvel editor, Renee Witterstaetter, attended most of those then. So she got to see my portfolio each convention.
She was gracious to give me a critique and encouragement at each convention. It was the Spring 1992 Dallas Fantasy Fair where Renee saw something special in my work (I guess I’d leveled up just enough to take a shot on) and said she’d buy a one page gag from me to run in the comic she was editing, “WHAT THE–?!” .
(A comic book I was already reading and a big fan of! I still have the entire run of that series.)

She gave me her card and asked me to mail her some concept gags/sketches.
I was pumped with anticipation and excitement! I rushed home and started putting together some ideas. Sent them off a few days later. A week later, Renee called me to say she liked these two X-Men gags and to put them together on one page. 
Hence, I created the comic strip, “Mutant Mishaps” (which ran again in issue #25). 

I have since gotten to reconnect with Renee and let her know that she gave me my first professional comic book work and thank her for the opportunity. 
It’s kinda cool to have my first paid and published comic book work be at Marvel.

This is the original art from WHAT THE–?! #21 (I’d thought I lost!) It’s a bit worse for the wear but a priceless memento of my first step as a professional comic book artist. 
It would still be another year and a half before I’d break into comics doing it full time.
But THAT is a story for another day.
