TO THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE ASKED ME FOR ART
17 years ago
Well, KTurtle came up with the best suggestion for a label name (that wasn't already taken): Purple House Records. You'll see what I wanted this for soon enough.
Meanwhile, I'd like to take this opportunity to apologize to the various people I still owe art to. I say "owe" in a fairly loose sense because most of them were people I offered to draw for, for free, and one commission that, due to it not being done, I didn't actually ask for money for yet. But I feel pretty bad that I've failed to even follow up on the status in a Jhonka's age. This is something I sometimes do: I get so far behind, and get discouraged by how long I've put it off, or embarrassed that I'm stuck at a critical step, and don't dare say anything to them because I'm worried how they'll react.
Well, enough of that, I say! I want this stuff off my chest and off my back ASAP. So, If I have ever offered you art for any reason at all, please remind me what it was and let me know if you still care. Although I wish I could dredge up the interest in doing them all, I won't be bothered if you decide to give up on me take your business elsewhere. I do promise, though, that I will devote myself to finishing every single one that I get a response about, before the end of June. I have nothing but time right now, and no valid excuses.

Do what I do when confronted with an extensive project: figure out how much time it actually takes to make one item, block out the calendar and work through.
Of course you may have done that and then things went SNAFU.
Don't worry. Things will self-correct.
