After much thought and a lot of "not wanting to do it", I have to raise my prices. I need to make more doing commissions. Sorry. The price hike will not begin until June 1, 2018. So, orders made before then, there are some still in queue, are not subject to this.

This is not something I wanted to do but circumstances make it necessary. I do not intend it to be massive. But I'll be honest, when a Commissioner can afford to drop a couple hundred dollars on several artists in a month, seemingly every month, a few more dollars one one seems reasonable. And if paid enough for a single of a couple of pieces it is possible to take ones's time to get it right. I said I would rather lots of small orders than the occasional big order. But that was the low price point speaking. A higher price point allows for more time to do fewer works to a higher level of workmanship.

I will have to work on this. But I have High hopes but rather low expectations about this.

We will see...
