Who are you?
I am a cartoonist who specializes in humorous illustration and single panel gag cartoons.  I have been cartooning professionally (i.e. being paid for my work) since 1998.  Click here to see my client list.

Why am I looking at your website?
www.davelondon.com is where I display my portfolio and answer your questions.  I like to think of my work as “cartoon art.”  I will custom design a cartoon or illustration for your business or personal needs, whether that be in a magazine, newspaper, on the web, in a book, on a T-shirt, for an advertisement, business cards, postcards, office presentations, retirement gifts, holiday gifts, or any number of infinite possibilities.

How do I buy a custom cartoon?
Contact me to discuss your cartoon needs.  I will quote you a price and explain my work process to you. 

What is your work process?
In short, I will brainstorm with you to create ideas for your cartoon needs, sketch the preliminary product for your approval (where you have the opportunity to comment and make changes), and then begin work on the final product.

What do I get for all this trouble?
I deliver to you a professional cartoon in hard copy or electronic form (e.g., as a print ready 300 dpi jpeg).

What do you get for all this trouble?
I get the satisfaction of a job well done and a happy client.  And, of course, money.

How long does it take you to create a custom cartoon?
I can create a finished cartoon in a week, a few days, or even one day if you need it expedited.  I will work with you to make sure you receive the artwork on a timely basis.

Ok, so I’m interested.  How much does a cartoon cost and how do I pay?
Click here to see my pricing page.  I accept cash or personal check.

Do you offer Paypal?
Not at the moment but I will be offering it in the future.  Check back soon.

I really like your cartoons and want to buy one, but I have no money.
Sorry, I don’t work for free.  But call me to discuss your situation and I’m sure we can work something out.

How often can I use the cartoon?
Unless we've made other arrangements, you can use the image once, for its intended purpose.

Who owns the copyright?
Unless we’ve made other arrangements, I own the copyright in my artwork.  You receive a license to use the original cartoon for its intended purpose (which we negotiate).

I’m a techie – what materials do you use?
2H pencils for sketching.  Sakura Pigma Micron markers or crowquill pens dipped in india ink for final inking.  Photoshop or Dr. Ph. Martin’s concentrated water colors for coloring. Strathmore Bristol Board or watercolor board for paper.  Really, it all depends on the specific project and what I feel like using at the time.  If you have a preference, just let me know.

I still have more questions.
