Intercorstal Commissions Open! (Introductory pricing)

Hello there!

For the next 3 weeks, up to the 12th November, I'm offering unique, by-request Intercorstal pages to anyone who'd like to commission one, with prices varying only by the size requested.

The way the process works is that you, the Commissioner, email me with details of the comic page you'd like Intercorstal'led (and wherever possible a photo or scan for reference) and the size you'd like it worked up at, and I'll take it through the Intercorstal process (which is covered broadly here). Once it's done, I'll post it to you along with whatever roughs/sketches/notes I've made along the way.

Prices are as follows, and are regardless of the size of the original page you wanted me to work from:
Postcard (standard, thick white paper): £8
A5 (Bristol Board): £15
A4 (Bristol Board): £25
A3 (Bristol Board): £50
P/P will be added on too, which'll be around £3 for 1st Class Postage.

Payments will be by PayPal, as a preference.

What you'll get:
The worked-up Intercorstal page.
A print-out of whatever reference I've been sent.
Notes used during the process - can't guarantee how much this'll include, unfortunately.
Digital copies of the page: 300dpi and 72dpi JPEG as standard, but I can provide others if required.#

Theses prices are at a pretty low introductory rate -- certainly a lot less than page-rate for a normal comic page, and will be going up substantially next year, so if you're interested, now's the time to go for it.

To order yours, or if you have any questions, email me at gareth@grthink.com.

Final version, based on 'Dungeon Fun' by Bell/Slorance

Here are some examples of what you might expect. Also, 'After Smith' is a good place to get an idea of what the finished page might look like, as is 'Neighbours Bring Food'.

Laika, and stuff

Here's a picture I did of a dog called Laika for the esteemed Karen Hart. I'm pretty chuffed with how it turned out.

Otherwise, things have been pretty quiet, as I've been trying to sort my house out ready for Child No.2, due in the summer. This has meant emptying 30-odd years worth of crap out of the shed in our back garden (kindly left by the previous owners), doing some rudimentary "chop it back out of the way of the doors and paths" gardening and decorating the bub's room.

Taking this time away has given me the chance to refocus on what I want to acheive creatively, and so I'm going to focus on personal work unless it's a direct comission from now. The Intercorstal and my 'grthink' work have had more attention develop naturally than my fashion and editorial work, so it makes sense to focus on that.

Having said that, my next personal project, other than a new one-off instance of The Intercorstal, is going to be along the lines of the Corgi and Zombie helmets I've made out of cardboard. I'll relinquish more details when I'm further along.

Commissions still open

Here's a picture of one of the commissions I did in the run-up to Christmas, of a cat called Smartie (apologies for the photo quality).

If you'd like a portrait done then get in contact -- prices listed below.

A6: £20
A5: £40
A4: £60
A3: £100
A2: £200
A1: £300

Portrait Commissions OPEN

So, you've seen my portraits of Winnie The Dog (above), and Frankenstein's Monster, and Marconi, and Sole, and Alan Moore (the little version and the big version) and you're thinking 'Wow, those are kind of neat'.

And then you realise that Christmas is coming, or it's someone's birthday, or something like that, but you don't know what to get that person.

Well, do you know what? You could ask ME to do a portrait of them! Sizes availalbe range from the very small (postcard or A6) to the frankly unfeasibly large (A1).

I'm pretty reasonably priced, too -- the cost will vary slightly on how much work I have to do to comlete, and that can be agreed on nearer the time, but here are some base prices to work from:

A6: £20
A5: £40
A4: £60
A3: £100
A2: £200
A1: £300

I'll include p&p in the price too, and probably chuck in some other stuff I've got lying around at the same time.

All I'll need is a photograph and a little bit of time and I'm good to go

Please email me at gareth@grthink.com if you're at all interested.
