commissions, refunds, and an apology [please read]
5 years ago
Hey, all. It’s uh, been a while, huh?
Back in 2019, wrought from fear of the pieces that I knew I could never bring myself to finish, I fell completely off the face of this gay earth and into a pit of isolation. Since then I’ve been working through a lot of personal issues, and while I can safely say that I am in a better place now, it does not at all excuse my silence. I am deeply regretful for my actions towards my commissioners. It was wrong of me to drop everything and disappear like I did, and I would like to apologize and try to make this right, if I can.
Unfortunately, since the start of all this, I’ve not been able to put a pen to paper, and have since lost my ability to draw. Because of this, I’ll be offering full refunds for all owed pieces, which I should hopefully be able to give to everyone over the course of a month or so, starting this Friday (my next payday). If I owe you a refund and don't message you within the next day or two, please send me a note with proof that you’ve commissioned me and haven’t received your piece. I’ll be getting back to everybody ASAP and offering individual timelines for repayment.
Lastly, I don’t know when I’ll be making a “return”, so to speak. I’ve grown a lot since I’ve disappeared, and I’m still trying to find where my place in the community will lie once I’m ready to start posting again. Whether that will be as an artist, a commissioner, or something else entirely, I’m not yet sure; I don’t even know that I want to stay attached to this profile, and may end up with a new one entirely once I’m ready. I do know that I’ll be leaving this current profile up, as an archive of my time spent making art. I regret how it may have ended, but I don’t at all regret the great times and people who I’ve met over the years that I’ve been active.
I never meant to rip anyone off, let anyone down or to leave everybody in the dark for so long. I’m sorry to all the people I’ve ghosted, to all the friends I’ve dropped, and to everyone who I’ve let down over the course of all this.
Thank you for reading, I’ll be in touch.

I would hug you if I could and I am pleased you found the courage to make this journal and that you made all of this into a learning experience.
