Thank you all so much for your patience and support over the years, especially while I work on commissions and adult life. I would not be where I am without you. <3
Recently, I've been trying to decide how to move forward in regards to freelance work and after a lengthy discussion with several peers, I've decided that I will be going on an indefinite hiatus from freelance work.
My current working situation, mental health, and physical health have made it incredibly difficult to meet the needs and expectations of the clientele. While this will, and is, causing a hit to me financially, I can no longer strain my health with the stress of trying to use art as a viable source of income while working 20 to 40 hrs at my regular job.
During these last few years of doing so I have turned art into something that isn't enjoyable and there is no personal escape or time to reconnect with it properly. My creative drive has been burning out for some time because I have not been able to focus on the direction I really want to follow along with my physical health being poor. Money will always be a source of stress, but if I can at least rekindle a love of what I do for no one but myself, that's a drastic improvement.
With that said, I may offer a slot here or there in the future, maybe YCH or a sketch - but it will be on my terms when I'm ready.
For those of you that still want to support me in some way even though I am on hiatus from commissions, there are options! I've updated my Etsy store with my best selling prints and have both Society6 and Redbubble store fronts. I also attend two conventions a year for those that go. Dates for conventions are listed in my profile!

All of my current clients have been contacted and while I finish working through my queue I thank you all again for your extraordinary patience, support, understanding, and love. This is a very hard thing for me to do and knowing that I have support makes the step a bit easier.
All the best and all my thanks,
Simha

You might want to alter the footer of your journals to move the part about commissions?
And THANK YOU AGAIN because that totally slipped my mind, fixed now!
This really, truly means a lot to me because art has been so dead for me personally. I've enjoyed some of the commissions I've done, but its definitely time to take care of and nurture myself and my craft. <333
You've been with me from the beginning and there's not a single day I forget it. I know that probably sounds lame, but it really does mean the world to see your name pop up in my notifs here and on twitter. You are one of the sweetest furs I know and I appreciate and sincerely thank you for all your support <3
