About comissions
10 years ago
So, I feel like I probably have to say this because I've been telling people "soon"... for a very long time. Basically I am still unsure when I will be able to officially open for new commissions to the public. Between convention take home badges, sometimes preorders for those same cons, the art shows I make art for, my Patreon rewards, art for conventions I'm GoH at, stuff for publications, and in general commissions I've already promised, there's really not much time left for newer orders. Not to mention that comic I keep meaning to start (haaaaa).
My queue is never long, people get their art in a timely manner once paid. I do not want to keep a waiting list because I find that stressful and in my experience, by the time I get to the people further down the line they have already spent that money elsewhere (which is totally fine, I don't blame them!). A super huge chunk of my year is just eaten up by convention prep and going to conventions. I very much have the best of intentions when I tell people an approximation of when I might be open again and I WANT to make stuff for you guys, but my guesstimates are way, WAY off. I thought I might be free this time of year, but I am busy as hell and have a con coming up next month (Fur-eh! in Edmonton), commissions I'm working on and then it will already be time to make Anthrocon art show art in between my usual obligations. Art shows have been getting smaller and sales declining but I still want to continue doing them in some capacity because it's almost exclusively my only time to be my own art director, experiment and in general do whatever I please.
So anyway, the teel deer of it is I am SO SORRY my guesstimates about commission openings suck, I am sorry I said to several people that I might be open in the spring, I am still closed, but will try to make time for new work as best as I can. And try to make time for that comic, good lawdy! A stupid amount of my day often gets spent taking care of so many aspects of the business that unfortunately just aren't sitting here and making new art. XD
You guys are awesome, have a cookie if you've read this far! <3

Always interested in commissioning you and happy to be patient!
No worries! I'm definitely interested when you do open. I still love the sketchbook art I got from you at MFF '13. Will you be at AC this year? Perhaps I can snag another sketchbook from ya then. :)
Good to hear from you and I hope to see you at AC.
See you this summer!
*happily noms the cookie and will gladly wait; you are more then worth being patient for*
Omnomnomnomnom! Mmmmm Cookie!
