OK, unless you’ve really been skimming across my Facebook and Twitter posts, you know that I’ve moved to Orlando. In order to make this move, I had to quit my job and I’m on the hunt for a new one. Temp agencies haven’t really panned out yet.In the meantime, bills will still be coming in and I need to be making something, income-wise.

So here’s the deal- I’ll do commissioned drawings. These will not be sketches, but fully rendered drawings, detail depending on the subject you request. All drawings will be on 8 1/2″ x 11″ card stock, making them easy to find a frame for. Depending on the subject matter, the medium will be charcoal or ink. Either way, you’ll have a nice darkly rendered drawing to show off. The price for a drawing is $20, as long as you’re not asking for more than three people in it. I hear you asking, how will this work?

First off either e-mail at carpaltunnelpress@gmail.com or private message through Facebook, letting me know what you want. If you want a likeness of someone, send me a photo. I draw comics, but for you, I’ll draw just about anything. When I’m done, which should take 1-3 days, I’ll e-mail you a watermarked scan of your drawing, at a resolution of 72 dpi.

How do you get money to me? I prefer PayPal, but you can mail me a check, if you want. Once I have the money, I’ll mail you your drawing in a plastic sleeve and inside a reinforced envelope, clearly marked “DO NOT BEND.” If you have trouble with your mailman bending your large mail to fit, consider having it sent to a work address.

Hi, everyone. This month, I had to replace my car, and that came with some out of pocket expenses, which has put me in a bind. However, I am not one to beg for you to give me money, when I have valuable commodities right here at my fingertips, literally.  There are four ways that you can help me out, and get something in return.

1. Buy something from the store. I’ll do a quick sketch in the book and send it right off.
2. Bookmark my Etsy account. I’ll be posting original art not from strips there this week for sale and likewise, will send it right off once its paid for.
3. Buy Original Art. Original Art for many of the strips are available. On the page for that particular strip you’ll see the button for “Buy the Original Art” and you’ll be able to buy that artwork. It adds it to your PayPal shopping cart, so you can see if it’s a a normal $25.00 strip or a little more. The no words strip with Jet-Pack Jenny flying through the city is one of those that’s a little more.
4. Commissions. Want some original art? Got a character that you love? Need a unique gift for someone? I’ll do commissioned drawings. These will not be sketches, but fully rendered drawings, detail depending on the subject you request. All drawings will be on 8 1/2″ x 11″ card stock, making them easy to find a frame for. Depending on the subject matter, the medium will be charcoal or ink. Either way, you’ll have a nice darkly rendered drawing to show off. The price for a drawing is $25, as long as you’re not asking for more than three people in it. Go the link just below the header for more info.

Well, I’m off to work on next Monday’s strip. The plan is to get on weekly updates, as long as quality doesn’t suffer.
