Todd Nauck WonderCon 2024 Friday March 29 commission list is now CLOSED

My commission list for FRIDAY ONLY for WonderCon March 29, 2024 is now CLOSED.
There are only a few slots open for this day. If you do not receive a reply back by 9am Friday morning that means the Friday list is full.

  9. You must appear at my Artist Alley table, i-01, the following day to confirm and pay for your commission by 1pm. Otherwise your spot could be forfeit. The sooner you check in the more time I have to devote to the commission! If you know you will be getting into the con late that day, please email me to let me know. 😀
    (NOTE: You MUST be attending that convention to be on the list for that specific convention weekend. I will not be able to mail any commissions out from or after the convention. Commissions spots are not transferable to other days of the con.)
  10. *NOTE: Commission requests that require celebrity or actor likenesses (and possibly video game, anime, and certain movie/TV characters) may be declined. No personal or your creator-owned characters, please.
  11. **NOTE: Most remarques will be done in my hotel room for pick-up the next day.
  12. All commissions are single character!

If I reply back, you are on that next day’s list! I will reply with how you can pay for your commission to lock it in. You must check in at my table the next day to secure your spot otherwise it could be offered up to someone else that day on the show floor.
I will either draw your commission on the con floor that next day or finish it in the hotel that next night for pick up the following day (and there is the slight possibility I will draw a commission or commissions the night of accepting requests, time permitting).

Due to evening commitments during the convention weekend. replies to those that have made the next day’s list may not go out until after 12am.

YOU MUST BRING YOUR I.D. and CONVENTION BADGE/PASS FOR COMMISSION PICK-UP!
I will specify a time for you to come by my table for you to confirm and pay for your commission. If you have not done so my that time that spot on the list could be offered up to another attendee.

Due to the number of emails I may receive, I cannot guarantee I will be able to reply if you do not make the next day’s list. So if you haven’t heard back from me by 9am the following morning, my list for that day has filled.

I will repeat this email process with a new code word each night before the next day of that convention. So if you didn’t get on my list on Thursday night for Friday’s list, there is always Friday night’s code word to get a shot at Saturday’s list and so on.
Remember! Each code word is ONLY for that following day’s list! So the weekend would look kinda like this (depending on length of the specific convention):

  • Wednesday night code word email ONLY for Thursday’s list
  • Thursday night code word email ONLY for Friday’s list
  • Friday night code word email for ONLY Saturday’s list
  • Saturday night code word email for ONLY Sunday’s list

I’ll also have some 9×12 pre-drawn studio commissions and 11×17 original comic art pages for sale at my table as well as limited edition prints and sketchbooks.

I thank EVERYONE for their continued support and understanding.

Comic Con Cape Town, South Africa 2024

Young Justice sketch cover art auction to benefit YJ writer, Peter David. Nov 2023

From 1998-2003, I got to help launch a new series at DC Comics with the legendary comics writer, Peter David. We did a series called Young Justice. I have been a fan of his writing since I was a teenager and having the opportunity to work with him was a thrill and honor. He has not only been a friend but a supporter of my art. Peter was instrumental in opening doors for regular work at Marvel on his Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man series in 2006-2007. In 2021, we did an X-Men Legends story. That makes 71 comics Peter and I have done together so far!
Having worked on so many comics together and seeing Peter and his family at many comic cons across the U. S., they are very special to Dawn and I.

Last year, Peter suffered a stroke and mild cardiac arrest.
There is a GoFundMe page to raise money to cover his medical bills and care. The recovery has been slow going and the David family still can use our help! Amidst medical bills and care, they are also in need of a new roof on their house as winter is drawing near.
Click HERE to make a donation of any amount!

I have drawn up this all-new, one-of-a-kind, original drawing of the 1998 Young Justice original 3 boys, Robin, Superboy, and Impulse on a Young Justice (Brian Michael Bendis era) sketch cover to auction on eBay to help raise some more money for Peter and his family. The proceeds (after applicable eBay and PayPal fees) from this auction will go to Peter’s GoFundMe account. This auction will end 10am Pacific Time on November 16, 2023.

My very first professional comic book work from 1992.

30 years ago, my first paid and published pro comic work debuted as the back cover of Marvel’s humor comic book, WHAT THE–?! issue #21.
I was still a student at the Art Institute of Dallas. It was my first assignment after a good number of portfolio reviews at the Dallas comic cons I attended back then. 

Todd Nauck 1992 and WHAT THE–?! #21 cover, back cover, and info.

At that time, Marvel would have a table with creators and editors at the Dallas Fantasy Fairs every March, July, and November.
Marvel editor, Renee Witterstaetter, attended most of those then. So she got to see my portfolio each convention.
She was gracious to give me a critique and encouragement at each convention. It was the Spring 1992 Dallas Fantasy Fair where Renee saw something special in my work (I guess I’d leveled up just enough to take a shot on) and said she’d buy a one page gag from me to run in the comic she was editing, “WHAT THE–?!” .
(A comic book I was already reading and a big fan of! I still have the entire run of that series.)

She gave me her card and asked me to mail her some concept gags/sketches.
I was pumped with anticipation and excitement! I rushed home and started putting together some ideas. Sent them off a few days later. A week later, Renee called me to say she liked these two X-Men gags and to put them together on one page. 
Hence, I created the comic strip, “Mutant Mishaps” (which ran again in issue #25). 

The ACTUAL original art for my back cover of WHAT THE–?! #21.

I have since gotten to reconnect with Renee and let her know that she gave me my first professional comic book work and thank her for the opportunity. 
It’s kinda cool to have my first paid and published comic book work be at Marvel.

This is the original art from WHAT THE–?! #21 (I’d thought I lost!) It’s a bit worse for the wear but a priceless memento of my first step as a professional comic book artist. 
It would still be another year and a half before I’d break into comics doing it full time.
But THAT is a story for another day.

My FIRST comic convention appearance since 2019!

San Diego Comic Con, San Diego, CA, July 20-24!
Artist Alley, table II-01.

Jean Grey art auction to benefit my Marvel Colorist

Tony, Rachelle, myself, and Dawn at Chicago’s C2E2 comic convention, March 2019

My dear friends, Tony and Rachelle Atkinson, are in need of help. Rachelle is my regular colorist for the comics and covers I draw at Marvel. If you’ve enjoyed any of my comics at Marvel from the 2014 Nightcrawler series to present day, most likely, you’ve seen Rachelle’s color art over my line art. She is a wonderful collaborator. Rachelle and Tony are kind, loyal and generous friends.
My wife, Dawn and I are often table neighbors next to Rachelle and Tony at comic cons like Emerald City Comic Con, C2E2, and New York Comic Con. We have become very good friends over the years.

Tony was taken to the hospital by ambulance yesterday due to heart and kidney failure. They are incurring medical debt and can use our help.
If you have the means and would like to donate directly to their GoFundMe account, CLICK HERE to make a donation.

From Ton’y GoFundMe page.

I am auctioning off this original Jean Grey piece to help raise money for them. (Jean Grey is Rachelle’s favorite comic book character.)
Please CLICK HERE to visit my eBay listing if you are interested in placing a bid and helping them out.

Thank you for your support, good thoughts, and prayers for Tony, Rachelle, and their three kids.
