Some Pen and Ink work, mostly old.
In the mid '90s I did a lot of work for small roleplaying games, magazines and fanzines that you have never heard of. Much of it was ultimately never published due to companies going out of business when their moms kicked them out of the basement. It was fun work though. I'd do it again in an instant.

[Edit] OK clarification: I'd do the work again in an instant. The not getting paid part wasn't fun and I don't care to repeat that bit. Yes I really did get some "offers" to take me down that road again.

This is the kind of work that I'm currently doing for a living.
I know it seems off topic for this forum, but I'm including this in order to make a few points:
1. Most of this stuff was done in a day or less. - I'm fast.
2. It is all done to exact customer specifications. - I can take art direction.
3. I do about 250 of these things a year. - I'm consistant.
4. I have been doing this kind of work for 15 years. - I'm not going to disappear on you.
5. The average price for these is about $150. - I'm affordable.
