This year, I have had numerous fans who have contacted me for commissions, only to have to pull out at the last minute, and while some just stop replying to emails, others are so apologetic, so I wanted to make this journal entry to absolve you all of any negative emotions.
The reason I don't take payment before I am ready to start on your piece is two fold:
1: Should something happen to me, to prevent me from working on your piece, I don't want the guilt of not being able to pay you back for any reason.
2: Art is a luxury item. Your health, welfare, family and real world needs will ALWAYS be more important than some custom artwork. I can always find another person to fill a commission slot, but you can't always find an extra paycheck to make ends meet.
I am always willing to pause someone's spot in queue until they are better able to afford things, or cancel their slot and have them reenter the queue at a later date if they don't know when or if they will be able to continue. I promise you I will never have hard feelings or be upset over this. You aren't leading me on, or breaking a vow or anything. I would rather all of you are safe, healthy, and happy first. So feel free to always be honest with me if you need to delay or cancel.
I couldn't do this without you guys. Thank you for your support, and know that I appreciate all of you.
