Commissions (2014-2015)
Starting on 1 July 2014, Chris began taking commissions for his artwork. He offered a B&W 8.5 X 11 for $50, a colored 8.5 X 11 for $100, and a colored drawing in a frame for $200. Though several B&Ws and coloreds were purchased, needless to say nobody was willing to pay the extra $100 for a frame.

For this work, the recipient asked Chris to draw a scene from her comic, "Rosechu's Story." Her response to Chris's effort: "I'm pretty happy with basically everything except for the fact that he forgot that the pokeball is supposed to be opened, which I specifically requested."

The buyer sent the following request to Chris:
Chris Hey Chris: For my commission I would like a collage of my favorite wrestler, Rob Van Dam, drawn in your signature style with a special Sonichu spin to the designs on RVD's clothes. I would like one part of the picture to be RVD making this pose [[1]], another part to be RVD holding this briefcase [[2]] and the last part to be Chibi RVD [[3]], all with that Sonichu spin. I am sure you can make this all come together! |
The result is one of the most surreal and autistic works Chris has ever produced. What it means is anyone's guess.
The recipient asked for a picture of "Colossal-chan and Mitch Sonichu staring down with CWC as the referee and CWC shaking hands with Clyde Cash."
