Nice !
those look amazing! CONGRATS!
Very nice!
Is it standard practice to 'tip' an artist for remarques that you've commissioned? I certainly want to do that if it's appropriate, but don't know what the norm is.
I would lean toward no - they charged you for what they think their work is valued at. It's nice you are appreciative but I would not start this trend.
I agree with Nick on this one. If they added extra items outside the scope of originally quoted work then it may be justified but if you buy art from them and they deliver I would just pay the price.
Good points. Something to consider is if you're planning on getting something else by the same artist. I don't think they expect a tip - you paid for something and received exactly that. If you do leave a little something extra, you can bet you'll be getting preferential treatment and something extra when you go back. This isn't unheard of, just consider the CDCC, different direct artist-fan avenues such as Patreon, tattoo artists, artists at conventions etc. If you pay the exact amount, you'll get exactly that and all is right with the world. I know when I walk into my tattoo shop, they'll stay open after hours and bend over backwards to make me happy. "You scratch my back, I scratch yours" is a pretty decent thing for everyone involved. Again, this all depends on what your future plans are.
I received a package of 5 books today from Vinny Chong!

An excellent remarque from the cover image.
Next up is a Family Portrait in my Doctor Sleep S/L that Vinny did a great job of organizing to show the family relationships.

Next is what I had him do in the Trade Doctor Sleep that already had a Chadbourne 'Fly Guy' on the endpapers (shown). Vinny flipped the perspective and we get to see Dan & Azzy at the hospice:

Finally, I think my favorite of the bunch. I really enjoyed some of the party guests that Vinny AND Don Maitz had done, so I asked for something in that direction. He did a great job (and I think it shows that he's maybe watching season 2 of 'Preacher'. ;)

Keith Minnion did this for me, he wanted the image next to the signed page so he drew on paper and tipped it into the book, the only Minnion remarque in a Gwendy's that i have seen
I really like that. Congratulations.
That's super cool!

Pretty sure I have seen others with this same remarque from Glen Chadbourne:

By the way, all the black ink bleed through to the back of the sheet. Do I need to worry about it transferring to the next page?

If worried, place an acid free sheet of paper after the art page.
I cut Glassine Archive paper to size and place between all signatures, drawings, etc. and the other pages.

Commissioned this piece from Glenn Chadbourne on a copy of 'It':

Wicked. I like it a lot.
So was that IT on a special ed or a first ed.
It does look evil, in a good way if I do say so my self.
It’s the 2017 hardcover.
I have a number of remarques but this is easily my favorite.

Great Remarque!
