Tl;dr: I'm stopping commissions (except for ongoing commissions) in favor of Jack's Blacks prompts. If no prompts come, well, I've got a number of my own to work on. A week before the start of 2023, I listened to an audiobook that described the difference in intrinsic vs. extrinsic motivators. Without going into great detail, … Continue reading Trying Something Different

Hi, all. Effective immediately, I will not be taking any more commissions. Apologies to those on the waiting list, but after struggling off and on for years with burnout, it's time I faced the fact that I'm not getting the spark back that I had in 2018. I'm thankful to everybody who's put their trust … Continue reading Commissions Permanently Closed

So, I'm finally posting commissions again, which is a big step up over the last several months. That said, I've amassed a bit of a backlog—people who asked me about commissions while I was on hiatus—and I'm trying to work that off. I've currently got 5 people left in the queue, so if you've talked … Continue reading Status Update 2021-01-23

Hey, all. I know, I know...I've been really, really derelict in maintaining the site. It's been a crazy-busy several months, but I'm finally settling down. Well...sort of. Long story. Pull up a chair, and let's talk about the last few months... Let's start with work. I forget how long ago now, I got a promotion to … Continue reading 2019-07-26: A Real Status Update

I know, I know, it's been a really long time since I've posted anything on here. And that's going to continue—so much going on right now—but I just downgraded my plan from the premium plan, so some things might not work that used to work. If anybody notices anything like that, please shoot me a … Continue reading Anything Broken?

Well, I've been a lazy bum long enough, and it's time to get busy again. I've posted some changes to my FA page regarding how I'm going to handle commissions going forward. For those not on FA, here's a brief summary: I'm going to be more selective in the commissions I take and will only take 3–5 … Continue reading Commissions Re-Opening Soon (And Other Changes)

Today is the first sort-of day of my hiatus. There is still technically one commission I'm supposed to do, but the client isn't responding. So, I'm calling it "sort-of hiatus." It's been an interesting start: Ebony got an eye inflammation, so I had the vet come out. It's just as well—the herd was going to … Continue reading It Begins…

Hi, all. I know I haven't posted on here in a long time, and I'm hoping to get better about that. The good news is, I'm down to five remaining commissions, and then I'll be done. On that note, my commissions are currently closed. After having about a dozen of them hanging over my head … Continue reading Commissions Closed
