You can email him with a commission request or pricing information at WesleyKHall(at)gmail(dot)com; if you just want to wave a quick hello and tell him what an awesome job he did here with the logo, you can find him @wesleykhall on twitter.  Now that we have made the decision, you can also expect changes here at the 4 Geeks 4e Website as we integrate the new logo into our site.
