Needs to Be Said
    10 years ago
            I need everyone who is seeking work from me to understand that this is a totally transparent operation. I work my 8 hour shift at my day job and then spend whatever time is left working on whatever I feel I have the energy to do...
I have not and will not EVER finish a commission and then forget about it. I need every dollar that could possibly come my way right now...
If I am working on your commission, you'll know. I'll either be noting/emailing you letting you know that it's done or you'll be receiving updates on progress until it IS done. If I have not been in touch with you, no work has been done. It's as simple as that. And while I understand people wanting updates...I cannot see the point in me noting you every week to tell you that I've had to spend my time elsewhere. Or, more realistically, that work has been kicking my ass and that I simply could NOT work on anything because half the time I'm ready for bed by 7PM.
Really cannot apologize enough that I am slow at what I do. If you like the things I make though or have liked them enough that you want something for yourself, I truly appreciate that. And I will be happy to make something for you...but, I need you to be patient and know that I'm doing the best I can. Every time someone notes me about work I haven't finished [or worst yet, haven't even started] for them yet, it makes me feel terrible inside.
Life has provided enough stress already, please don't add to it by poking me with a stick while I'm plodding along. ;(._.);
