$10 COMMISSION DRIVE IS OPEN AGAIN! Please read the rules carefully, as new rules have been added, and my pricing has changed.

*The first ten people who note me here on DA (or e-mail me at: fourpanelhero@hotmail.com) with a suggestion to draw, AND send me payment for it, will be put on the list and have their request honored.

*
For $10, I will draw a head and shoulders pencil sketch of whatever character you want. It's an additional $10 per extra character you want included.
*For full body pencil sketches, it's $20 for the first character, and $10 per additional character.
*For inks on any pencil sketch, it's an extra $10
*Elaborate backgrounds are an extra $10

*
THIS OFFER DOES NOT INCLUDE ORIGINAL ART--JUST DIGITAL FILES! I'll draw most anything you request, and will e-mail you a black and white digital file of the artwork. Please be sure to send me a link to some reference images. Be sure to give me your e-mail address so I can send you the art when it's done.

*
You CAN request more than one drawing.

*
Your request will NOT be locked in until I receive payment. Do NOT just write me with a request and assume your spot is saved. It's first pay, first serve. I accept PayPal, and you can access my account at:
fourpanelhero@hotmail.com

*
When sending me notification that your payment has been sent to my PayPal, please include your REAL NAME as well as your DA handle, and the name of the cartoon character you've paid me to draw.

*
These commissions are very good, affordable, reasonable deal. So any requests for me to go back and change a drawing in any way will require an additional $10. NOTE:This does not count towards mistakes I might make, which I will fix without additional cost.

*
I DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT I WILL POST YOUR COMMISSION IN MY GALLERY! It's nothing personal. You are more than welcome to post anything I draw for you on your own page. Just be sure to give me credit for the line work (and if it's a drawing of my characters, credit at their creator), and put in a link to my DA page.

*
IF I MAKE A MISTAKE WITH YOUR COMMISSION, IT'S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO TELL ME. I get many requests for commissions, and I do my best to give folks what they pay for. But mistakes happen. Details might be missed, the wrong commission might get sent to the wrong person. All these are easy to fix, but they can easily slip by me. So please, if you notice an error, don't assume that I purposefully sent you the wrong commission, or that I had some sinister motive. Just contact me and let me know, and I'll take care of it right away.

* I WILL NO LONGER ACCEPT COMMISSIONS THAT INCLUDE NUDITY OR SEXUAL SITUATIONS. My creative focus these days is of a much more innocent nature, and commissions like this compromise my identity as a cartoonist. Not to mention, I've simply grown tired of drawing them. That said, I am still open to drawing female cartoon characters/superheroes/super villains as they are seen in the comics, TV, movies or other media. I just won't draw them in adult situations, or in various stages of undress. I will judge what is appropriate on a case by case basis, so please talk to me about your ideas to see if they're acceptable. And yes, I am still open to drawing my characters Dead Duck and Zombie Chick. I hope this doesn't alienate any of my regular clients. But I assure you, I can still provide you with fun, affordable artwork regardless of the new rule.

* Once you receive your commission, you're free to color it as you please. But if you change my original line art in any way--such as adding or subtracting design elements or including dialogue that I did not intend--you won't be allowed into future commission drives. You pay me to create my art for you. Once you change my art (coloring notwithstanding), it ceases to be my art and I refuse to be associated with it.

NOTE: It may take me a month to complete these. But rest assured, I will get them to you, and I always leave my customers satisfied.

It hasn't been quite a month yet, but I wanted to let all those people who commissioned me in May that your pieces will be done this month, and a new drive will follow soon after. I've had some very unexpected things occur in my life that have gotten in the way of my work, but I'm doing my best to stay on track and keep the cartoons cranking out. Thank you for your patience, and I look forward to sending your art your way soon!

--Jay
Just a heads up that I'll be appearing this weekend at The Motor City Comic Con in Novi, MI! [link] I'll be selling copies of the uber-rare Bodie Troll #1, the equally hard to find Red 5 Free Comic Book Day issue, an all new Bodie Troll print and some of my popular ones from past cons, and I'll be taking commissions! Hope to see you there!

It's with some sadness that I post the last "Dead Duck" story. [link]

If it wasn't for the publication of Dead Duck in 2009, so much of what I've accomplished today wouldn't have happened. I owe my career, artistic growth and happiness to Dead Duck. He stayed by my side from age fourteen, growing with me in the pages of sketchbooks and unpublished comics, until we both grew into maturity, me as a comic creator and he as my first fully realized and published comic book creation. Dead Duck, Zombie Chick, their supporting cast and their world are always in my heart and mind, and I assure anyone who reads this, THEY WILL RETURN. In fact, the story they'll return in is already in my mind. But for now, I've giving them a much deserved reprieve from delivering the dead, and instead focusing my attention on a fuzzy little troll who who needs my love and support, too. Thank you for the support you've all given Dead Duck over the years, and for the support you're giving Bodie right now. And thank you, Dead Duck, for making it all possible.
_________________________________________________________________________________

And as for Bodie, issue #1 of Bodie Troll had a smaller print run, and all but sold out. If enough people pre-order #2, there will be a bigger print run, which means more available copies for fans of Bodie! Take this order code to your local comic shop and reserve your copy today! APR131220.

Okay.

Wired Magazine just ran a story about Red 5's Free Comic Book Day issue, which features both Atomic Robo and Bodie Troll [link]. And what's it say about Bodie?

"the real star of Red 5's FCBD book is Jay Fosgitt's inordinately charming Bodie's Troll."

Pants, you've officially been pooped.
