I recently stumbled upon this on tumblr and it's been circling around all my social networks.  I find it really important to pass this on to all artists AND people who commission artwork. I see this way too often here and at conventions. Artists don't realize that they're affecting the overall view of how art should be priced by selling it for so low, and clients are basically paying these artists less than minimum wage for art that they think they're getting a "deal" on. To all artists and commissioners, think before setting on your prices. Is it really worth the artists time to pay them $20 for 6 hours of work?

This video was taken a few weeks ago during SDCC but check out one of my head sketches done during conventions. This one is conveniently of Akuma, who's origin book can now be pre ordered from amazon! ;) www.youtube.com/watch?v=qN5VZl…

Just recently I've opened up a Tumblr account. I'll be posting a lot of original character ideas and concepts over there.  While my deviantart will still contain mostly finished licensed work through udon. But if you're interested in a few original ideas i have kicking around in my head then go over there and check it out! :) joengart.tumblr.com

Hey guys!

So a few of you who follow me on twitter have noticed that I have deleted my twitter account not too long ago.  Well I've set up a new one that I'll strictly be using for art related work stuff.  Feel free to check it out.  I'm planning on updating that as frequently as possible. Thanks guys!

So San Diego Comicon is upon us again and as usual I'll be there with the Udon Crew booth! I normally don't do this but for some reason this year i've been getting a lot of notes from people asking me for commissions in advance.  So here's the opportunity to do so!.  I already have a bit of a growing list and only a few spots left available for the full body commissions.  I'm accepting smaller head shot commissions as well as smaller bust commissions at the convention but since the full body ones take up so much time, i'll only have room for a certain amount.  So drop me a note card if you're interested!  Also, you'll have to actually be going to the convention to get one, sorry!

Here's how it will work. If i get a note card from you requesting something, i'll put you on the list with an assigned number. I don't actually work on the actual commissions until i'm at the con so hit me up at the Udon booth early and that's when I know that you're there and are able to go through with the transaction.  So for example, if you're number 3 on the list, drop by the booth, say hi, and your commission will be started depending on whether #1 or #2 have shown up yet.  But if #1 shows up a little later, their commission will be put in priority ahead of yours because they sent me the notecard first.  but since you're number 3 you won't lose that 3rd spot in line.  make sense?  i hope so... even i'm confused now...

the reason i'm doing this is so i don't work on a commission and the person doesn't show up and it's a giant waste of time for me, and that's just unfair to myself as well as the people who do show up!

Here's an example of one of the full body ones:

update: Just to clarify for people, the Udon will be at booth #5073.  See you at the show!
