Don\u2019t worry, I still intend to follow through, but I need your help to make sure that I\u2019m organized since I lost my original commission sheet when my laptop was stolen a year and a half ago.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA year and a half ago?\u201d you might ask.\u00a0\u201cBut it\u2019s been so long, and you\u2019ve owed me for longer than that!\u201d True! Some of you have even been waiting for <i>ten years<\/i>\u00a0(from the donation drive) for me to draw you the things I\u2019ve promised, and that\u2019s terrible. A lot has happened in that time, and it all boils down to one thing: depression. Legit, professionally diagnosed, chronic depression + anxiety + ADHD + insomnia. Cool, right?<\/p>\n<p>But excuses, excuses&hellip; I want to get these done, I want everyone to be happy, and I want to show that I am so grateful for all of the patience and understanding you guys have shown. BUT I\u2019m moving soon and I have a full-time job, so it\u2019s still going to take a while. What I am going to do, then, is this:<\/p>\n<p><b>As of now, officially, I am no longer taking on any new commissions for the foreseeable future, with the exception of:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>On-site at conventions<\/li>\n<li>Livestream events<\/li>\n<li>Professional work (at my full contract rate)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All artwork, with the exception of those events + professional work, will now strictly be personal projects, including merchandising through things like redbubble. Commissions are just too much pressure when I don\u2019t have the budgeted time for it, and I can be much more productive working on other things. I don\u2019t want to charge enough for custom work\/personal commissions to make financial sense, so I am saving them for events. They\u2019re fun to do, I just can\u2019t handle it on top of everything else outside of very limited runs.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, that means that Clingy Badges will still be a thing, but right now I don\u2019t even have any cons lined up, so it\u2019ll be a while. And when I do them next, they will be much better, because part of this downtime is devoted to developing better products. (This also means that I have a crapload of prints that I need to find homes for&hellip; ugh&hellip;)<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, back to the matter at hand:<b> Do I owe you art\/whatever? Let\u2019s talk and make sure that we\u2019re on the same page. <\/b>Please help me get back on track by sending an email to work@gabapple.com with the following information:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Your name\/username<\/li>\n<li>Your email address<\/li>\n<li>Date you commissioned me (estimated is fine, it\u2019ll just help me find the original records)<\/li>\n<li>What I owe you (or what you want if you\u2019ve changed your mind)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>I will construct a new spreadsheet via google docs and have 4 projects on deck at a time, utilizing Harvest to manage my time.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And of course, if you would prefer a refund, I completely understand&hellip; it just might take me a bit to get it to you.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>SO. That\u2019s pretty much it. This post has been a very long-time coming.
