UPDATE: The Paper For Pixels Fundraiser is OVER! 100 cards sold in just 6 hours. Thank you SO MUCH all for the orders!
****
Here's the deal . . .
I have decided to start a fund raising effort to add a Wacom Cintiq 21UX to my creative tool set. I will soon be embarking on a long-term project that will greatly benefit from the addition of this technology to my work. I have come to the conclusion that the only way to finance this new tablet is to acquiesce to the many requests I've had for personal sketch cards in the hope that I can sell enough to send a check to Wacom.
Long story short . . .
You want a sketch card. I want a Cintiq. "Paper for pixels". Let's do business.
So, I am announcing that, for a limited time, I am opening personal sketch card commissions. I have exactly 100 slots to fill. Here's the small print:
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY! FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE DIRECTIONS MAY RESULT IN LOSING A PLACE ON THE LIST!
-The cost per card is $20 (plus $2 for shipping in the Unites States and $5 for International shipping).
-These cards will be cut from bristol board. They are not pre-printed. There will be nothing printed on the backs.
-These personal sketch cards measure 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches each and will be drawn with micron pens and Prismacolor markers/pencils.
-Each card will be placed inside a soft plastic sleeve and a plastic top loader card holder and shipped in a cardboard mailer.
-The drawings will be full-color.
-I will draw 1 character per card with some kind of background (dependent on which character it is).
-There are 100 slots available and you MAY request more than 1 card.
-I will be drawing these cards live on my Ustream webcast, in the order that I receive orders. I will schedule AT LEAST 1 day a week for sketch card work and will let people know which cards I will be working on in advance on my website (the weekly schedule is always the first post on my website) so they can watch. I will also record every show, in case someone misses their card being drawn. I will draw 4 or 5 cards per sketch card show, so you must be patient in waiting for your card. I thank you in advance for this.
-I only accept PayPal for payment and payment is required at the time of ordering.
-When ordering and paying, YOU MUST USE THIS E-MAIL ADDRESS: otis@otisframpton.com
-Do NOT send the requests via private message on message boards, deviantART or any other public forum. E-MAIL ONLY.
-Use the subject header Otis Frampton's "Paper For Pixels" Fundraiser in the order request e-mail and the PayPal payment.
-DO NOT PAY until I have notified you that you are on the list. If anyone pays before i confirm they will get a card, I will refund the money and they will not be on the list.
-Please include the following information in the order request e-mail and the PayPal payment: what character you want me to draw, what name/"handle" you want me to use for the Ustream schedule (so you know when I'll be drawing your card) and your shipping address.
-The first night of sketch card work for this fundraiser will be sometime next week, as I still have cards to finish for my previous sketch card client (who bought me out of cards last year).
Thanks in advance and I hope to see the winners in the Ustream chat room!
