Hello Everyone,
A lot of things have been changing with my other half and I. We both really want to start a new chapter in our lives. Basically, it comes down to a couple big things – time and money.
It’s time to end the fursuit business. We just haven’t brought in enough consistent income. I can’t begin to explain how stressful it is regularly not having enough money for food, rent, electricity, etc… In addition, working with commissioners can oftentimes be rather stressful. And alongside potential customers just…disappearing, telling you your prices aren’t worth it, and the constant reminders / clutter of having your home as a workshop; it’s just gotten to be too much. The plan is to work on either refunds, or more likely – finishing off the queue and removing finished projects from the list. After everything is done, we’ll likely be shutting down Blue Rabbit Studios. We still want to be creative, but doing suits for commission work is done I think. We’ve taken on full time jobs to help stabilize things. We were in danger of losing the apartment, so we had to act quick.
Art-wise, I've been creatively blocked - life BS has a tendency to do that. Additionally, this new position - while finally providing us money for food, rent, utilities, etc - has not left us with a lot of time. We're concentrating on working out all the fursuit related projects first. If you would like a refund for your ART commission, please get in contact with me and we can work something out. I may be sending out some refunds regardless - I need to clear my plate and clear my head, so please don't feel like I have anything against you if you see a refund. I need to de-stress a bit and get myself back in a creative mindset again.
2019 absolutely sucked. It...was hell. I want to start anew for 2020. I want to lay out my goals and really get stuff done.

I'm sorry to hear this, but it seems like it's for the best. I wanna say that I absolutely love the head that I bought from you. It's so well made, super cute, and gets tons of compliments. Most of all it makes me feel like my sona. I'm sorry others said your work wasn't "worth it"; for me, my head is priceless and something I treasure. Thanks for creating it and making it a part of my life ^^
Hopefully 2020 brings a much better time for the both of you. :)
