Hey all, just wanted to update you all on what's up. I would like to get through the commission que I have so far before I start taking on more, especially since some are series pics. We could still REALLY use the money, but I don't think it is fair to make you all wait TOO long for your art, so once I get down to perhaps one or two clients left I may open back up for my other slots.

In case you didn't know, my mate wound up actually getting fired from his job over the missing deposit that he had nothing to do with. Actually, they were all pretty sure that this other tech stole it, since they had issues with him in the past, AND he quit soon after it went missing, before the police started interviewing people. However, my mate was the one to close that night so he had to take responsibility, while the trash gets off scott free. We are going to be struggling a bit until he can find work, and I still am putting all of the proceeds I receive through commissions towards fixing his teeth, but now that he has lost his job, I am more worried than ever about how we will make up the rest. Thank you to ALL of you that have been so supportive, and who have participated in my fund raiser thus far.

I have also been having some wrist issues, possibly due to how hard I have been working, and I am finally seeing a specialized doctor about it on the 31st. HOPEFULLY it's nothing permanent or serious, but I have been very scared lately. Art is part of my soul and if it was ever taken away from me, I don't know how I would live. So, in the meantime I have been trying to take it easy, but still keep to a production schedule on all of your pieces, so that I can have them done and to you in a professional and timely manner. You have all paid, and are helping us out so much, so just know that I will keep the status list updated often, and move on down through the list.
Since you have all commissioned me for varying styles and levels of complexity, as I work on a bunch simultaneously doing preliminary sketches and such, I MAY move on to a simpler commission that I can churn out faster to narrow the list down more. Things like sketch commissions that don't need to be carried to completion will possibly be moved slightly ahead of full blown painted scenes etc. Just so I can keep my gallery updated, and keep chugging along! I hope that is ok with everyone. If anyone has a problem feel free to discuss it with me in private! Anyways, thank you again and I should be open again really soon!
