Happy New Year to all my fans, friends and family!
Well, today, Jan. 19th, 2020, marks
ONE YEAR since I officially announced my retirement from drawing comics and attending comic convention.
I have to say that my life has been quite nice, although a bit busier
than I anticipated. I can tell you that I have been enjoying not having
to deal with the stress and strain of air travel and trying to make my
way through strange surroundings with my less-than-perfect vision.
However, there’s one thing I didn’t consider when I announced that I
would no longer be attending conventions, sketching and doing
commissions. I always took great pleasure and personal pride in the
amount of money those activities raised for the many charities, friends
and family members I’ve helped through the years. I find that, despite
enjoying the downtime, I really do need to keep drawing …it is, after
all, what I do and who I am.
So, that being said, after much consideration and a lot of requests,
I’ve decided to start doing private home commissions again. There will
be a few restrictions due to my vision issues, such as no backgrounds (
unless I decide to throw one in on my own ), no multi figure group
shots, no portraits of real people and no cover recreations. What I will
be able to offer are Full-Figure marker line art with pencil-tone
illustrations on standard 11” X 17” comic industry Bristol Board and
convention-style head shots on 9” X 12” Bristol paper ( no pencil tones
).
Please understand that these will not be inexpensive since I want to be
able to raise as much money as possible and I’m limited to how many
commissions I can draw any given week without straining my eyes &
starting to see double.
For those that will be asking … the prices will be as follows :
-
Full-Figure marker line art with pencil-tone illustrations on standard 11” X 17” comic industry Bristol Board - $1,200.00 US dollars
-
Convention style head shots marker line art on 9” X 12” comic book board - $ 200.00 US dollars.
All prices are plus
$30.00 for US domestic shipping ( Hawaii and Alaska add an additional $10 shipping )
International Shipping Rates based upon distance.
PayPal payments are acceptable and actually preferred. Ask for details when placing your order.
Further, in addition to my annual appearances at Dragon Con and Fetish
Con … I have one more make-up convention appearance to honor in 2020,
which should be officially announced in a few weeks … that will be my
entire convention schedule for this year. For said appearance, we will
accept a limited number of pre-convention sketch requests. There will be
a limited quantity available. Check my fan website
george-perez.net for more information as they become available.
Next bit of good news … In addition to the sketch offerings … I will
also be offering private, bulk signings for those wishing to participate
in those as well. CGC & CBCS signings are welcome as well as long
as proper arrangements are made in advance. Minimum quantity for all
signings are 50 pieces. Larger quantities are encouraged and available
with proper arrangements as well. Prices available upon request based
upon volume.
If any of this sounds desirable to you, please contact my long-time art
agent Spencer Beck of The Artists Choice at SpencerBck@aol.com for any
additional questions, concerns or other pertinent information regarding
sketches and signings.
Attached are some examples of some sketches I’ve done for clients in the
last few months to so that you can get an idea as to what I’m offering.
I look forward to getting back to my drawing board for you!
Respectfully,
