NOTE:

These commissions are for private use only, not for commercial use.

All prices are for the purchase of the original physical artwork only; all other rights will remain with the artist.

All prices are in US Dollars. Advance order payments can be made via Paypal only. For con sketches cash only will be accepted.

All advance order commissions must be paid for in full once your order is accepted, and will be ready for pick up at the show. David will not be mailing any commissions, so if you cannot attend the show (or arrange for a friend to pick it up on your behalf), do not place an advance order.

If you'd rather just get a convention sketch at either show, David's sketch list will only open on the first day of each con. Place and advance order on a commission to avoid missing out.

If you are requesting an obscure character, please email/bring an image of the character for reference. Even if the character is fairly well known, it is probably a good idea to bring reference anyway; As good as David is , he can't remember every character's costumes.

The commission list is strictly limited, and will be dealt with on a first come first serve basis. For commissions please email d_r_yardin@hotmail.com detailing your name, show & day attending, contact details (for verification on pickup), which character(s) you would like, and which format you would like the art in. All requests will be accepted at the discretion of the artist. David does not do recreations of his, or other people's artwork.

David has some original comic book art for sale at his Comic Art Fans page. More artwork will be available soon.
