Ryan: Like his father, John Romita Jr does not do commission work on any consistent basis.
There was one exception about 5 years ago when a family member (or someone close to JR JR) had serious medical issues. In order to help out, JR JR started doing commissions and sketches for a very limited period of time. He also did some marathon-type sketching and signing sessions at comic shops in connection to this, as well.
At present, he does a lot of sketching at shows, usually in exchange for a donation to a charitable cause. No commissions, however.
Incidentally, people have offered John Romita Sr crazy amounts of money to do commissions, but he steadfastly turns them down. He and Joe Kubert auctioned off one character commissions for charity in the last year or two. Because it was such a rare opportunity, those went for many thousands of dollars on eBay.
