I'll draw a single person, living or dead, real or fictional (as long as they're well-known to the general public) on a 5" x 7" piece of bristol board, generally in black and white ink unless I feel like adding color (my preference). There are three catches:
1) I'LL ONLY DRAW A PERSON ONCE, so if there's someone you're really into, act fast. The only exception to this is if it's a sufficiently separate instance of that person: i.e young Bill Murray versus older Bill Murray, or Han Solo in his winter gear in Empire Strikes Back, versus his vest-style outfit in Star Wars. You can see all the ones I've done so far here.
2) REAL PEOPLE must be somewhat famous, either historically or otherwise, meaning I'm either already aware of them or could quickly become aware of them. Cochise, Harriet Tubman, and George Clooney are examples of people who would fit this category. Your favorite teacher, local mayor, or mom would not--if you'd like me to draw someone *personally* significant to you, as opposed to more universally significant, we can work out a regular old commission for that, outside of this offer.
3) NOT REAL PEOPLE must be fairly significant as well, either among the major characters of a work of fiction, or sufficiently recognizable that I could figure out who they were pretty quickly if not already familiar with them. If I'm into it fine, but I'll tend to turn down requests where I can't find visual reference online pretty easily, especially if it's something pretty esoteric.
As always, I reserve the right to refuse any request for any reason--if so I'll let you know pretty promptly, and refund your money if we can't come up with a replacement we're both enthusiastic about. My goal is always to make drawings I am proud of, and if I don't have enthusiasm for a subject, it's unlikely the drawing will turn out well. It's worth mentioning, I don't really like drawing sexy stuff, so be warned.
Drawings will ship flat. Currently I estimate about 3-4 weeks for drawings to be completed (I have lots of other work to do and try to draw these when I'm really pumped about it so they look good)--let me know if you want them earlier, for instance as a gift. Okay! I use USPS First Class Shipping, and insurance is included in the shipping price.
OH! And be sure you put who you want in the "Instructions To Seller" space during the Paypal checkout process. Feel free to email me at dustyATdharbinDOTcom with any questions or to confirm I got your order.

Just a relaxing little image to stare and thing about the moving, seething mass that lurks just behind your eyelids, and also throughout the limitless cosmos. But on paper! Printed with archival inks in 10 colors on Epson Velvet Fine Art paper. This is a *very* toner heavy print, thus the slightly higher prices, especially for the large version. 8x10 ships flat; 16x20 ships rolled, both via USPS.
A little view of a big ole world, some of it close, and some of it farther away. Printed in 10 colors with archival ink on Epson Velvet Fine Art Paper. Ships flat via USPS First Class, because you're worth it!

A colorful and somewhat geometric denizen of the rain forest. 10-color archival giclee inks on Epson Velvet Fine Art Paper. Ships flat via USPS.
Available in three sizes, printed in a 10-color archival giclee process on Epson Velvet Fine Art Paper. Posh! NOTE that the 8" x 10" version has a somewhat closer crop, which I think looks better than making the whole thing that tiny. So if you want ALL the background, get one of the larger ones or contact me and request the smaller version, but I'm defaulting to my version because.. I know what's good. 8 x 10 and 11 x 14 sizes ship flat; 16 x 20 ships in rolled cardboard tube. All shipping via USPS Priority Mail for domestic. For international shipping outside of Canada, email me at dustyATdharbinDOTcom and I'll work up a quote (but it's getting pricey).
