Just wasn't worth it.

Had exactly two patrons, and somehow even that was proving to be too stressful. I only had to do a sketch a month for each of them, but in practice I ended up having to do both sketches in the last week, maybe week and a half, of each month, and I just felt so rushed and stressed out over it. I mean, on August 1st one of the first things I found myself thinking was, "crap, it's a new month, I owe people sketches." And I don't ever want to start feeling that way about something I was doing for fun. It is astounding how stressful something you were doing for fun can become when you're given an obligation and a deadline.

So long story short, I'm not gonna do it anymore. I'll let friends suggest ideas, do art trades now and then. I just won't take any money for them. I don't need the money. I don't want the money. I don't want what comes with the money. It's just not worth it.
