As many of you may already know, Francesco Mattina is one of the main reasons I'm addicted to comic art. He did my first ever commission and is such an awesome, insanely talented guy. I've been wanting to get some pieces from him for a while and I jumped all over this opportunity. For me these are all grail level pieces, especially the Joker Piece. Words can't describe how awesome this piece is. If you get a chance to commission MATT, I would definitely go for it. His rep David Ceci is one of the coolest reps in the biz. Huge thanks to David and MATT, those guys rule. I hope you guys enjoy:

How do I commission them?

[Punisher1919]

Thanks for the kind words everyone, I'm pumped to hear that you guys want to commission MATT, the guys so awesome. Commission info:
You can contact David Ceci (davidceci.fisio@gmail.com)The Prices are as follows(prices in Euros):

12.9X9.4 inch

1 CHARACTER B/W 200 WITH BACKGROUND 220
2CHARACTER B/W 280 WITH BACKGROUND 310
HEAD B/W 125
1 CHARACTER COLORED 220 WITH BACKGROUND 255
2 CHARACTERS COLORED 330 WITH BACKGROUND 370
HEAD COLORED 150

The pieces MATT did for me are actually like 12x16. There is a little bit of a language barrier with David (him and MATT are Italian) but he is a very cool guy and responds to every email. I'm not 100% sure if MATT's currently accepting commissions but I hope so(would love to commission a few more pieces). Thanks again guys, I couldn't be happier with these pieces.

wow. that's cheaper than i thought he would be. good thing the euro keeps going down! how long was the wait on these?

I have been wanting to look into getting a commission from Matt for awhile, but never knew how to get ahold of anyone... This is the best thread ever... Thanks for sharing your pieces and info. Congratulations... A Spidey by Matt is number 1 on my wish list. Yours is so bad ass it hurts.

I commissioned the pieces from MATT around early January, but there were 4 pieces so turnaround per piece wasn't too bad. I commissioned the Castrillo piece in December, but I heard that Anthony was dealing with some personal issues so his commissions came to a screeching halt. He did show me the finished piece like 2-3 months ago but forgot to send it, he responded to all my emails though and was honest about forgetting to ship it. You should check out Matt's batman pieces on CAF.....just insane

Thanks Dude, I had some contact with Matt about commissions but it didn't really pan out. I just saw that David Ceci had all these incredible Mattina pieces in his CAF gallery, so I inquired about how he managed to get them, and that's when I found out he was actually MATT's rep. Francesco is definitely one of my favorites!

i didn't want to spend on commissions now, but this is too tempting..

[J-M-T]

I'll be tempted if he does 11 x 14 at least. I think 9 x 12 is too small. But the level of details he produces is making it too hard to resist.
