This is great news! I asked him a couple years ago if he'd come to CanJoeCon and at the time it wasn't in the cards. Probably my favourite contemporary Joe artist. I've also been thinking of getting a commission from him, so I'll need to contact him!

Already contacted him about a commission. Really looking forward to meeting him in person.

Same, judging whether to get a full commission or 2 head and torso ones.  Just curious, what characters are you guys going to request?

Contact him. Some work would involve a higher rate than other work I would think.
I'm getting something done from him as well..... Anyone that knows me SHOULD know what. ;)

I'd be guessing Black Ice.

Just a reminder - contact Robert ASAP to book your commission artwork from him.
He won't be able to get to everyone the day of the convention, so book your art now - and have him bring it for you!
Hit www.canadianjoecon.com for full information.

Booked a 9 x 12 commission on Friday.  Pretty excited about it.  I picked a cool ARAH character, who does not get enough love.

Cesspool?

Ice Cream Soldier?

Budo, actually.  Always though he was sort of bad ass and loved the concept of a samurai, which is totally random.  Sort of like a ninja / martial artist (think Quick Kick), but more obscure.  I mean, its a samurai!!  Though, I always felt SE was sort of a samurai - lite b/c he uses the sword a lot. 

As a child growing up in the '80s, I loved the idea of different specialties....still do.....it is sort of like, "whatever we need, we have somebody for that role, no matter how obscure"

Speaking of Grid Iron, I actually have a Grid Iron custom figure that a customizer named Bad Sociologist did for me.  It is great....and to be honest, it does not look like a bizarre character.  I should attach a pic, if I can figure that out.
