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:

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 http://i.imgur.com/aZVfrfo.jpg, another part to be RVD holding this briefcase http://i.imgur.com/xCSHEr0.jpg and the last part to be Chibi RVD http://i.imgur.com/3YtG5hX.jpg, all with that Sonichu spin. I am sure you can make this all come together!

This was followed up by correspondence:

Your number has been registered, and I will keep you updated. Rest assured, I promise not to share your number with anyone. Thank you. I have your suggest images, plus an idea in my mind and a magazine and newspaper for background portions.

Great, I trust your creativity to fill in any blanks!

I have completed the piece. The story I came up for it is chibi Ron is the son; he gets picked on at school. "Wah! Wah! The kids bullyme! I want to go to a theme park and laugh at the freak clowns there. Wah! Wah!" Papa Rob and his honey are being abused like as they were "Mr. Money in the Bank"; what trouble for the parents. It will be complimentary laminated to keep the portions secure on the pieces on the back card stock paper. I will ship it to you tomorrow.

The result is one of the most surreal and autistic works Chris has ever produced. What it means is anyone's guess; his description offers little help. Chris made sure to scribble over the offensive torsos of the wrestlers and Chibi with black marker. The drawing came covered with hair of unknown origin.
