The best old school horror comics artist in the business looking to consider commissions. Here is a page from a story in Gravely Unusual #3. email trevormarkwart@gmail.com

I think it's a lot worse the ones that charge very cheap. Besides devaluing your own work, it also devalues all the artists here. That's why someone always wants to get some unpaid drawings. Very good, your work, my friend. Thank you very much. And for your post -- well said. You are exactly right.

Why are those people on reddit protesting so much? Honestly, each of them need to look in the mirror and ask why that pushes a hot button for them. To them I say: Why such hostility to an artist who thinks highly enough of his work that he should be making fifty or sixty or seventy-five bucks an hou...

Is there any way for moderators to remove this topic thread? It's really unprofessional to see so much barging in and disparaging remarks. Certainly we don't see anybody insulting and casting doubt on the pricing of people like the "I'll draw your whole comic for 800 bucks" guy and all the rest.

I have a few weeks opening up next month and am looking for some projects to consider. I've reset my price to an even $1k a page to facilitate more accessibility, My portfolio is here: https://www.artstation.com/morbidhorrorcomics Reposting this as a new topic as it was unprofessionally interrupted ...

Well you keep "collaborating" and selling yourself short, and I'll keep getting paid.

How much do you think your work is worth per commissioned page?

VERY CLEVER!

"...looking for writer with ties to the industry"

Very good.

Obviously there is still moderation as I read this thread, then checked the board (1st page) and find 30 thread topics that are spam free. Now, is that coincidence or is that a moderator noticed this thread's topic and cleaned up? Either way, that's a good thing. I like this board and check on it fr...

It got started here!

Never said anything about not liking it. Actually I have rarely shown up here and haven't been here for months until the other day as I'm too busy working on comics (and real life, of course). But you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to show up once a week or more and bump this thread up to the ...

I have my doubts about there being any moderators here, but if there were, this is the thread to lock and then pin right to the top of the board for reference for the next year or two. Everybody can learn a lot about what to do and what not to do in the field that ZWOL is all about.

You don't seem to have any problem if artists are going to draw your stories for free if they can get them published, so I am puzzled by your negative reaction.

I think that "Publishing GUARANTEED." is a big sell for an artist trying to get a foothold as long as it is at a certain level where it actually counts. It matters to me. I would like to know numbers if I were to apply for this. Though I probably would be determined unsuitable though, based on my we...

Oh, man, I dropped by here again a little while ago and started thinking about this thread and spent a couple of minutes and -- WHAM! -- this thing's turning into a Trump Russian collusion story from my persepective! You know how that whole thing has completely whipsawed on the MSM and the Democrats...

I've been kind of amazed at how useless some self-proclaimed artists are -- based not on me hiring anybody, but rather on me taking over and completely redoing a couple of pitch projects now where the writers got screwed. I've heard this story before with other players. I can't pass judgment on this...

I'm the artist on a graphic novel born from connections made here coming soon! Disturbing video to watch here:

When publishers contact me it is because they have a story they want me to illustrate. That was the case last month and the case last night as well! Or they have a single page illustration/cover/pin-up concept in mind, which was the case last week. So I guess I have to admit I do have contact with a...
