# About me
Greetings program! My name is Bill and I'm 40 years old. I'm a musician, audio engineer, sound designer, photographer, and graphic artist. Send me a message if you want to know more.
...Oh! Check out my website to see my webcomic, listen to my original music and various other bits of geekery.
**Commissions**
All commissions are billed at an hourly rate of $20 per hour. I may be willing to put a special package together depending on size and scale of the project. Please contact me if you have any questions.
1) Original 3D character artwork for web or print.
2) Vector art for web or print.
3) 1 1/4inch buttons (pins).
4) Original music and sound effects.
Requests for artwork can be of anything you want as long as it doesn’t go beyond PG 13. In other words, nothing too naughty. Feel free to roam through my gallery to see some of my previous pieces if you'd like to get a feel for the kind of work that I do.
All of my buttons are 1 1/4 inches and I will create up to a batch of 100 using a custom design. The design work falls under my hourly fee. The buttons themselves are $1 each or 7 for $5. Contact me for quantities beyond that.
A song request can be of any genre or style. I can create original music anywhere from rock to classical and just about everything in between. Do you need music for your video game? I can do that! I also will work on scores for independent films and other video projects. I can even do your foley effects!
So, if you are interested in any of the above, please send me an e-mail at shaggy@zoiks.org. Once we work out the specifics, I’ll send you an invoice as well as give you an estimate on when you can expect your purchase. Since I’m a one man show, I’ll need to schedule commissions out so that I can get things done in a timely manor.
Current Residence: Centreville, VA
Favourite genre of music: Just about anything
Operating System: OSX
MP3 player of choice: iPhone
Favourite cartoon character: Shaggy...duh
Personal Quote: Enjoy what you do even if no one else does.

Happened to come across your page by chance when I noticed your comic pages. Thought it was cool to see another artist delving into a mix of arts from comics to music like I've been attempting!

Thanks! I'm actually a musician first. The comic came sort of by accident about 4 years ago and I've just been keeping at it and working to merge them together.

Thank you for the watch! I'll try to continue to amuse.
I have done a bit of audiobook recording with Audacity, but just don't have the time/patience to work with 3D packages.
Good luck and thanks again!

theshaggyfreak In reply to Yukinoangel8919 [2011-04-18 07:54:44 +0000 UTC]
For a small con, I did OK.
I really just had way too much going on this coming week today to head back to T-MODE on Sunday. I'm running sound design for a play that opens in a couple weeks which means I have a ton to accomplish before then.

Well I hope that all went well! I had a lot too, the only reason I came back was to give a commission, but I'm glad I came back cause that was the day I made the most sales!

Sundays can be like that sometimes. I'm still in the midst of rehearsals for the play since we open up in Friday. Man, do I feel worn out!

No biggie! It's always a little hectic at the end of a con anyway. Let me know if you ever need any help with comic related stuff. If I can't help, I usually can point people in the right direction.

Yay! Confusion! I win!
Actually, I'm really not going for anything in particular. I just kind of go with the flow of my brain.

Awesome! I'm starting to write a bit more music that coincides with my comic. What I've been doing is spending at least one day a week coming up with some new ideas for songs. Every so often, I plan on taking some of those ideas and turning them into full songs. This practice has really gotten me back to writing more music and it gives my readers something different to do on my website.

Remember you can also post your music at dA, now that we have clubs dedicated to that alone.
This is one I am a member of. ^^

Good seeing you again at Otakon. I was searching for you on Saturday, may have even walked right past your table without even seeing you through the chaos. Anyway, thanks again for the CD. Can't wait to give it a listen.
