Hello everyone,
So for the first time I have closed off taking on more commissions. I will be finishing what I have left and then taking a short break. As of right now it's becoming a bit too much work with they way things are run. I am very busy working a full time job with a long commute, to come home with just a few hours to fit in looking and applying for other jobs and trying to run my own business here as well as looking to relocate.
The past few months have been a learning experience for me. I've never seriously taken commission work on before. It's been fun but there are definitely some things i need to do if i want to continue business.
What I plan on doing, because I'd love to see this business continue to grow, is first focus on organization. How commissions are taken and when they are done has been too random for larger scale sales on my end. I have plans to make official social media sites to help with awareness and promotions for commissions. I'm also in the works of hiring someone on as a colorist/shader so I can handle a larger work load and provide high quality work for my customers. I think people will be pleased with the collab work that will be done soon! I also want to set up a more formal way of taking on commissions, so that mean you guys will have an actual order form to fill out rather than just leaving paragraphs in notes and emails. Things will be easier to track that way!
With time I also want to be able to purchase lamination equipment as well as a larger and better printer so prints up to 13x19 can also be available!
And as for clothing, which I hope to get more designs out, I am working on making a redbubble store. Easier and cheaper that way~
Thanks for reading and if you have any questions please ask!!!
