I just read a short interview with Ralph Reese. Sounds like he's been in some hard times for a while now. He does commission work and I thought you might want to know.
The interview, mainly about his time in the 70s working with Neil Adams, can be found here:

Another "good" reason for people to join the HERO Initiative and help out creators in need.
cross post from http://digitalcomicmuseum.com/forum/index.php/topic,2556.0.html
I recently became a member of the HERO Initiative:
The Hero Initiative creates a financial safety net for comic creators who may need emergency medical aid, financial support for essentials of life, and an avenue back into paying work. Since inception, the Hero Initiative has been fortunate enough to benefit over 40 creators and their families with over $400,000 worth of much-needed aid, fueled by your contributions! It's a chance for all of us to give back something to the people who have given us so much enjoyment.
We can talk all we want about how much we value the old comics and, presumably, the people who created them, but we can actually do something about it directly. You can become a HERO member for as little as a $30 donation. I would urge anyone who isn't a member to join today and help out those in need.
Plus, you get a neato membership card!! Sadly, my member number is in the mid hundreds - there should be thousands of members.
End of preaching.
Anyway, for more info, check out http://www.heroinitiative.org/

Errr...Reese does commissions if you can navigate through the labyrinth, avoid the minotaur, and decipher the hidden message explaining how to contact him?
Not that I have work for him right this minute, but it's very difficult to do anything about it if/when I do, if I have to go door to door looking for him. Or fight that damned minotaur again.

I sent you a PM with his contact info. I think their website just wants to discourage email phishing and spam, hence the minotaur.
In case anyone is interested, Mr. Plastino is expensive, but available and can be reached through his website (!).
I found tracking down a lot of artists surprisingly difficult; I just assumed everyone had a website - not so. But a bit of Googling can work wonders.
The Golden Age still has some representative kicking (which reminds me - I need to ask Sheldon Moldoff for something Batman-y), Silver Age same, but even the Bronze Agers are going (Jim Aparo, Dick Giordano, etc.). Act now before they're gone :-(

Couple new Golden Age-themed ones:

Wow, some sweeeeeeeeet works there Roy.
Bing Cansino's, grim but very nicely done and Al Plastino's Dynamic Comics... wonderful!
I especially like your write-up with it. Very informative. I wish others would tell as much about their own commissions!
