Commissions closed for the time being

Due to the following factors, I'm closing commissions for a while:

1. My cat stole my tablet pen, which I haven't been able to find and now need to replace - not money I wanted to spend, but c'est la vie. This already has me backed up on the work I've got slated for me. Ridiculous, but it's true.

2. A family member is having surgery this week and I will have to balance caring for them with my main business, my commissions, and taking care of the Little Dame.

3. The entire Classy Family is buying a house, closing in just a few weeks, and we have to pack up everything and move - owning our own place is awesome, but it is definitely a time sink. I'm handling most of the business end of things, so I also have to schedule and attend inspections, closing, work with the bank, all that good stuff.

4. I already have plans on the table for several pieces with a couple folks and taking on any more would mean I can't afford the turnaround I generally like to. I never want to be one of those people who takes 6 months to finish a commission.

Commissions should reopen around the end of August at the latest. If you have already commissioned me or have my personal email address and are working with me on ideas and pieces, this does not apply to you. You folks know who you are.
