-1 Gabe Dell'Otto - Was on his commission list for nearly 3 years. He missed deadline after deadline. He barely replied to e-mails too. What's worse is that midway through the wait, he brazenly raised the already agreed upon commission price by 25% and actually had the nerve to suggest he was doing me a favor. Like a moron, I accepted, as I believed he would come through eventually with something super. In the end, the commission wasn't even what I asked for. He never even tried to iron things out. In so many nice words, I told him where he could shove it. Arrogant putz with an ego the size of Jupiter.

+1 Gene Gonzales - great communication and quick turnaround time. At the time his prices were also making the commissions attractive, he has gone up a little, but still in the affordable, reasonalble range for what you get

+1 Chris Stevens - poster here on the forum who knows how to treat the people who get artwork from him. Very pleased with the results (thanks Chris!) and will be attempting to get on his list again at some point in the future

+1 Bob McLeod - have commissioned two pieces from him (one via mail and one at HeroesCon). Both times resulted in a favorable transaction. Quality work (even for a 'con' sketch) in a timely fashion and very easy to deal with

+1 Ryan Bodenheim - I had my Batman Over Gotham piece commissioned with him and he went above and beyond. I had prelim sketches within a couple days. It wasn't exactly what I envisioned, so we discussed a few other options. Another round of prelims that were perfect. Then a few weeks to get the whole piece completed. No issues what-so-ever, and just a great guy to deal with.

+1 Chris Stevens - I have had 2 commissions done by Chris. Both turned out great.

+1 Whilce Portacio - One of my favorite artists. I have gotten 3 commissions from him with absolutely no problems. His wife Jo is a pleasure to deal with. A+

+1 Ron Frenz - Very professional. The commission came out great and was delivered on time.

+1 Jonboy Meyers.

Great guy to deal with and after getting a commission at SDCC I ended up getting another and am still in touch with him now. Trying to get another sorted out.
Great turn around and coms alround.

+1 Drew Charipar

Got 3 pieces from him and he through a sketchbook in free.
Been waiting a little while for my latest stuff. But good at communication and happy to wait

I paid him for 3 pieces that were to be viewed as one larger piece over 2 years ago. Endless emails and excuses later still no art. I asked for a refund about 1 year ago, he said "okay" but never sent money. When I pressured him about it he said he could get the art done in the next month and would add a piece for free. Again, I asked him for a refund back in October '09, nothing. I've most recently asked him for some original pages that I can sell on eBay. He has respnded he will send pages for me to sell. We'll see.

This is a brilliant idea. I'll stick with my recent purchases as I'm sure we could each list a 100 names:

-1 Buzz - My story is almost the same as everyone else. Finished a piece, I'd paid for it and then I waited a yr and a half. It was a surprise when it showed up. I enjoy the piece but I will never deal with him again.

+1 Al Rio - His dealer was really pleasant, even worked with me on the price. Great art fast shipping to boot!!

+1 Bob Layton - Another man of his word with me. Fast and timely and he too even came down on his price.

I'll come up with some more later.

Been discussed here at SF before. A nightmare commission project that collided with some personal stuff JM was dealing with. JM promised to resolve it but to-date I've gotten no complete resolution and only about 20% of the agreed commission. JM's a nice guy, does fantastic work, but he really flaked on me. I think this commission is going on 3 years now.

Oh, recent experience!!

-1 Ray Dillon - If I could put -10000000 I would. As mentioned on another thread, prick, douche bag, late, lies, excuses and Paypal dispute. That sums up my experience with Ray.
