Avatars start at $30 for black-and-white and $60 for color, and they're usually ready within 48 hours.

The black-and-white avatar David drew for Greg Svoboda

I use David’s avatar everywhere I can. It being hand-drawn has made all the difference. People at conferences have met me and said “I recognized you from your avatar!” I’ll probably use it forever.

"…illustrated throughout by David Neal, who somehow draws the joke I was trying to make rather than the one I actually made."
