As some may remember from my last journal update, I recently lost my cat Zod and had been hoping to take on some commissions to to help pay the bill. As per the usual with this amazing community, plenty of people came forward to help out. I said I would come out with the details soon.

Well, its been a couple weeks now and I still haven't shared any details. So what's the deal?

Well, I'm going to have to delay the commissions for a while for a couple reasons. How long I'm not certain about but until at least mid to late February. There are a couple reasons.

• First of all, time. I'm home for the holidays for the next couple weeks, but this is for the primary purpose of spending time with my family. I'm going to be doing some art, of course, but if I'm working on 4-6 commissions as well, I won't be really spending time with them.
• Secondly, some freelance work I wasn't expecting to come through until March came up early. The good news is that it does pay pretty well, but it is going to take up a LOT of my art time until then.
• Finally, is figuring out what I could do that would make the prices of $35 to $50 fair for everyone. Now that I'm doing more freelance work, my time is a lot more valuable. This would mean $35 to $50 wouldn't buy as much as they used to. And if I charge individuals less for same work, then that makes my other clients feel like I'm over charging them.

So, that's where we are right now. I'm sorry if anyone had their heart set on these and that it took me so long to post this. I think I knew it was going to have to come to this but I really wanted to see if I could make it work. I decided this morning that it just wouldn't work right now.

Thank you guys for your continued support. When I do reopen commissions, I'll make sure its at a time that works best for everyone.
