MORE CONVENTION DATES TO COME!
(Don’t see your local convention listed? Let your convention organizers know you want to see me at their con as a guest!)
NOTE: Though I attend many SoCal conventions, I will NOT be exhibiting at WonderCon LA this year.
AUTOGRAPHS:
I will sign most comics for free.
Due to the highly speculative nature of retailer variant cover comics, there will be a charge of $5 per comic for signatures on those comics.
Click HERE for the full list of my variant cover comics that require an autograph fee.
My signing times at my Artist Alley table are every two hours for 30min:
10:00-10:30am, 12:00-12:30pm, 2:00-2:30pm, 4:00-4:30pm, and 6:00pm-6:30pm/or close of the show. Sometimes panels, interviews, or booth appearances overlap with these times, so check my table for time changes or updates.
NOTE: Saturday, April9, of ECCC, my last signing time is currently slated for 4:00-4:30pm.
I’ll also have my new full color Sketchbook: RED, art prints and some original art/commissions for sale.
COMMISSIONED ART
Here are my current convention commission prices/options and how it works for me during the weekend. (These are not my studio commission prices!)
I will be taking a new commission list at the beginning of each day of the con.
The list has a limited number of spots (which vary in number at each con depending on size of con, demand, and my other convention responsibilities for that day) so hit my table early to make sure you get on the list. My list can fill up fast!
Some cons offer VIP or advanced ticket entry allowing certain attendees onto the con floor an hour before general admission. In these cases, I allow for limited spots for VIP/advance ticket holders AND limited spots for general admission attendees each day.
I only allow ONE exhibitor badge holder (or “in the con before show opens” spot whether it be exhibitor, artist alley, pro, press, VIP or general attendee) on my list each day. The other spots are reserved for the VIP and general admission attendees after the show opens.
Be sure to research your convention’s entry guidelines and locations to make sure you’re in the right spot at the right time for expedient entry.
Due to my current work schedule, I may only be able to take 3 or 4 commissions each day.
Convention Commission specs (single character*):
- Head shot black and white on 7″x10″ (roughly) art board, sketch cover, or personal sketchbook: $50
- Head shot color Copic markers on 7″x10″ (roughly) art board, sketch cover, or personal sketchbook: $80
- Half figure black and white on 9″x12″ art board, sketch cover, or personal sketchbook: $150
- Half figure color Copic markers on 9″x12″ art board, sketch cover, or personal sketchbook: $220
*NOTE: Commission requests that require celebrity or actor likenesses may be declined.
* Your Creator-owned characters are not eligible for convention commissions.
- Sunday commissions may be relegated to only head shots depending on time constraints.
I hope this info helps. There is a possibility info could be updated or changed between now and the convention, so stay tuned to my social networks or subscribe to my the RSS feed for possible updates.
Thanks for the info! Will you be selling any original art at the show?
I plan to have original art for sale at my convention appearances. 🙂
Hey Todd, I’ll be traveling from the states out to the London con you’ll be at in July. I’m not going to be able to get there super early because we’re bringing my two kids (6 and 7) in on the train. Is there anyway I can reserve a spot on your commission list? I can pay in advanced… I’ve just been trying to get to a con you’re going to be at for years and I don’t want to miss a chance to get a piece from you!
Let me know what I can do. If you can’t, that’s fine and I totally understand… I’ll just get to your table as quick as I can. But if you can, I’ll do whatever I need to. And I saw on your page that a half body with color is $220, is that still your going rate?
I appreciate your help Todd and I look forward to meeting you. Thank you.

I don’t have a pre-con list. For as much fairness as possible, I take my list as soon as the doors open each day of the con. There is a new list for each day. With London being a 4 day con, that means people have 4 chances to get on my list (on commission per person per convention). I hope this info helps!
Hoping to score one in Denver! Would multiple characters be 2x the prices listed?
Due to demand for my convention commissions, I only do single character commissions. I also only do one con commission per person per convention to accommodate as many people as possible. Thanks for understanding!
