Looking to commission art...

[RealAlHazred]

Excellent idea. Unfortunately, there aren't local cons at this time of year, and I need to consider the lead time for the artist and then also getting patches made. Thus coming online to check.

And, you know just wanting to support my community. If there's an artist on the site (or a short hop from it) who wants a few bucks, all the better, right?

Sure! But thinking about it reminded me that I met Erica Henerson, C. J. Henderson's daughter, at DexCon here in NJ probably between one and two decades ago. Sadly, I don't have contact info that would be recent. I would have commented this yesterday, but was sent down a nostalgia spiral looking her up!

Once upon a time, I could have helped. But I haven’t done anything pro-level in decades.

Be sure to ask anyone who says no (politely) if they know of anybody else who might be interested or might know someone. Networking is your friend!

Also seconding @Celebrim ’s idea. I have recommended checking out the university/college/community college art departments & local art institutes to clients seeking things like album covers on a tight budget.
