Commissions are closed.
I'm not going to bore you with details here. Nobody likes a sob story, and I don't like offering them. I'm not out to play the "pity" card.
That being said, I am not well. That is the long and the short of it.
Not emotionally and not physically: I'm not, and haven't been for a while.
BUT. That part is not your concern.
MENTALLY, I am intact enough to know that my wellbeing isn't your priority. And EMOTIONALLY, I have my shit together enough to know that asking you all to continue to sit by the wayside is wrong of me.
So here's how it is. My life has been doing some ugly, and my finances aren't currently at their best.
Hey, wait, bear with me.
I'm not asking for handouts.
Just the opposite.
I have to soldier it out for about another month or so, at my current pace, to right my finances a little bit. But to do that, I can
not continue on as I have been doing. And, I regret to inform you all, my commission load is something that has been weighing on my mind,
nonstop for years now.
That is the kind of stress that puts people in hospitals.
So this boils down to two main parts.
A: I will no longer be accepting commissions. The end. Do not try and argue with me about this; You will lose.
B: I will, just as soon as finances permit, be issuing refunds for my current list of commissioners. If this includes you, please touch base with me privately so we can work out the details. For some of you, I completed part of the work and I feel that it's fair that it be factored in when arranging the refund, but depending on the wait, etc etc, I don't mind refunding your full amount. I really don't.
I'm a lot of bad things and I'll never deny them, but I'm not a thief and I believe in doing what I can to make a situation right. I've fallen short, and that's my fault, not yours; Fair's fair.
All I can offer at this juncture are my very sincere apologies; I certainly never intended not to make good on my promises.
If I owe you art(Or, as it stands now, money), please touch base with me. This falls to YOU, the commissioner, because due to circumstances I have lost most of my lists. If you don't touch base with me and I remember you/have you on my lists, I'll do my best to get in touch, but--and please forgive me for this--if I don't have a record of you, I just don't.
I'll give it six months from the posting of this notice, and if no word has been given, I'll consider the matter closed. That's not me trying to be a sneaky shit, I promise. That's me trying to get that weight of unresolved problems off of my shoulders. If you know somebody to whom I owe art, by all means direct them here. I swear, I'm not trying to pull a fast one.
I'm just tired, and I can't keep doing this.
Please forgive me; I'm only mortal, as it turns out, and it stinks.
