Hey guys it's about time for an update. First off I would like to wish you all Happy Holidays, I hope you all got what you wanted, and ate some good food too!  I am sorry that I haven't been updating recently, I have been in a horrible art slump. Here is the wrap up of what's been going on.



1. Yes I probably did break or at least seriously sprain my finger and that was a real pain because it made it impossible to do some of the most simple things like type.  However it's now fully healed and not giving me too much trouble.



2. New job. In theory I should have been hired on four weeks ago, but they keep pushing the date back, which isn't making me feel as great about the job.  



3. For those of you who know me personally you know I have five pet ferrets that are my pride and joy. One Murphy I had raised from a baby, he was my mama's boy and recently was paralyzed for an unknown reason.  Sunday he passed away in his sleep for an unknown reason. He was only 3 years old.


I have come to a realization. I love to sculpt, I don't think I was ever made to do it as a job. I love doing what ever catches my fancy and so from this point forward commissions are no longer available.   However I will be still making sculpts, and from time to time, some may go up for sale to make room for others.  

Over all I could say how sorry I am because of the delay on commissions however as some of you I'm sure have already been contacted by me regarding refunds for any projects not currently started. IF YOU HAVE NOT BEEN contacted by me, your sculpts are currently being worked on and you should be getting final approval pictures in the next few weeks.

  
If you are waiting for shipments they will be going out next week. The foam for shipment finally arrived. You will be noted with tracking numbers.



For the several people I am waiting on commissions from, take your time, I'm not going anyplace. I'm sorry for a few I owe source material to. I really haven't been myself recently.



Here is to hoping for a better new year.

She lives!!!!!! So sorry about Murphy. I kinda felt something wasn't right with him, but I know how it is to lose a favorite pet/friend.
I've got the same feeling about my sculpts. The job severely limits my time and energy, so I tend to work only on the stuff I enjoy and have promised. Just these last 2 and I'll finally get to do MY characters.
Hope you feel better soon, missed hearing from you. D.
