Hi J,

Thanks for asking. I have a little sign at the table that says "Quickie Kabuki Sketches - $10".

Basically, I do a quick drawing for you with a brush and ink. Some people ask for DD, other Noh agents, or other characters besides Kabuki and that is fine too.

I used to do all these for free, but there came a point when that meant that I was doing them 100% of the time and then the day after the show half of them would be on e-bay for $50. I'm happy to do sketches for my readers, but I found out if you do stuff for free that people not really interested in your work will take advantage of it in order to sell if for big bucks. That said, I still do some quick doodles at no charge in books people pick up or bring when I can tell they are long time fans. And I'm always happy to work with you if you pick up a bunch of stuff. And if you have any questions at the table, don't be shy.

I don't really pursue doing more involved commissioned work or elaborate special requests. But some of the other artists there (Mike Oeming, Andy Lee and others) do more elaborate requests and commissions. Usually all the artists that do this at cons have a sign that spells out their prices etc.

My main reason for doing cons is to introduce new people to the books and to speak with and answer questions from readers, so I don't really have it set up as a Sketch machine. But If readers want an original sketch, I am very happy to accomodate them. Just ask, and let me know what character that you would prefer.

And we will have a lot of prints and orginal art that you are welcome to look through as well. At cons, we figure people have already paid to get in and made an effort to be there, so the prints are very affordable. We have prints there that are only available at conventions at $10 each or 2 for $15.
