I just wanted to glom on the end of this thread about Mr Boone.
For those of you that dont know this guy is 1st class. It dont come any better than Gregg for any toon work.
If you need logos or illustration work done....this is the man. He isnt the cheapest in the world but hes one of the best.
In his spare time he does a few comic books as well!

Well iffin' it ain't Gonzo himself!
Thanks for the props!
As for prices for toons I only charge $100 or $150 depending on complexity. Or I do a trade off. If a guy has a decent traffic website I do the toon for free.
Anyhow, I live in a 'Trek' neighborhood. Lotsa Trek stars and staff live here. I often meet them when I'm out and about. I remember my first week here I was walking past the famous Palermo's restaurant about 10pm and almost knocked over this stunningly tall blonde woman. I looked again and it was Gates McFadden who played Dr. Crusher. I'm gonna tell you guys right now, them cameras did not do that woman justice. In real life she is the most drop dead gorgeous woman I've seen in Hollywood in the past 5 years I've been here. She's tall too! Another time I think it was a month later I saw whom I assumed was Jery Ryan who plays 7 of 9 driving past. I got a good glimpse of her and as an artist I pick up on bone structure and make recognitions.
I saw Paul Warfield who played Capt. Terrell in 'Wrath of Khan'. Saw him twice.
I usually don't bother them except to say 'Howdy' or 'thanks' or something. A pal of mine who wrote for the show has many Trek folks at his house a lot. If they saw me there they would pass out. They would say 'Omigosh! It's that scary looking guy from the neighborhood!'.
