First, I want to thank all of you who responded to my last journal entry. It makes me feel better just knowing how much you guy care and willing to help a brother out. Any help is good help, and I know there are people in worse situations than mine and I wish I could do the same for those people too. I'll see if I can't resurrect the pimp connection and get some traffic flow to artists that also need a break from financial BS.

Now for an update for the Holiday Card/ATC send out.

Yuki, Terry, Mary, Susannah, Laura, Becky, Jessica:

I just dropped your letters off a half hour ago, so they should get to you guys a few days before X-Mas

Eric: You will be getting your card in person since I'll be driving back to town that week.

Riley: I still need your address to send your card out. Please e-mail me when you get the chance and I'll send it ASAP.

Svarta, Sjoerd, Heidi, Taylor, Erin:

I apologize for having to delay your cards. I ran out of blank ATC's and I am unable to shelve out money for another pack right now. If all goes well you shall all be receiving your cards hopefully within early January.

If anyone has any questions or concerns with this matter you are welcome to note me or e-mail me at bittermause.@.gmail.com. Thanks everyone and have a great holiday

First of all, I'm sorry that more than 80 percent of these journals have been 'money pleas'. This has been a very bad month for me financially, as I also come to find out that I had no choice but to sign up for $70 health insurance on top of my license renewal and newly acquired car insurance. I won't have enough to cover my share of rent and utilities, and my schedule at work got cut down to 9 hours for this week. I am thinking of looking into filling out for a bridge card but I doubt they will accept me, and I heard the process is a pain in the ass. I won't be able to afford Christmas for my family either....again.


I know I mentioned in the last two journal entries that I'll be postponing ATCs. I did manage to finish a few, so for whoever those are you WILL get yours by Christmas. For the rest of you on the list, I'm afraid it'll be a bit of a wait. I don't know for how long either.

So once again I am opening up multiple offers for doing commissions. If you haven't noticed before, I cut down on most of the prices just for the end of the year. Every little bit will surely help get me out of this hell.

Deadline for Holiday Cards/ATCs have passed. ( sorry I cannot afford late requests. )
Don't forget to check out the commissions section if you'd like a piece of artwork for a ( hopefully reasonable ) fee. Also don't forget to stop by my journal periodically to check on the status of your ATC's. ;D

Well guys, talk about bad news bears. After doing a bit of thinking, I have come to the decision of postponing the Card Send outs. Technically it would be considered 'cancelled' because I won't be sending them out during Christmas. Instead they will be sent out in early January to commemorate the New Year. If you wish to receive a card, don't hesitate to let me know. ( but you have to read the rules below first ) October 20th is still the deadline!


So why am I doing this? Well, if you haven't read my journals up until now there's only one reason that always effects me; money. Last year when I did these I was putting myself at risk, because the cost of mailing labels, postage and envelopes can rack up quite a big amount. This year I have to force myself to make some sacrifices so I won't go through another roller coaster ride through money hell.

The situation as it stands is, I need to afford car insurance soon.
( which I will argue to this very day that it is outrageously UNFAIR to force people into buying when they can barely afford to take care of themselves. ) Also, I want to make a jump start on saving up more money to take care of myself and Riley, comic publications, etc.

So to combat this, I am once again going to alter the commission prices for the rest of this year. I know not very many people can afford to pay up for these kinds of services, but I'm hoping this will help. If anyone wants me to commission them but they have less than what I charge, we can work with doing a split-payment or something else. Please refer to the commission list below for an update on prices and additional features.



5th Annual ATC/CARD SEND OUTS

Rules are simple;

There is no limit to how many people can sign up
One card with one character per person
I have to know you for at least a year or more
You are under no obligation to give me anything back in return. (that's why I call these gifts.)
Respect the privacy laws/no address sharing (Which I know I can trust you guys on anyway.)
If you're interested, e-mail me your address. Do not post anything in the LJ comments with your personal information.

Last day to sign up is October 20th.

I seem to keep presenting this earlier and earlier every year don't I? Well one good reason for this is because school will undoubtedly slow me down and I want plenty of time to work on a few things for my good friends.

As the story goes, every year during the holidays I send out cards to my friends and loved ones. Inside each card is a hand-crafted sticker of their original character. This is my way of saying 'thank you' to those that stood by and supported me over the years.

But this time I'm going to try something a little new. Instead of the usual stickers, I thought it might be nice if I did some artist trading cards instead.

So the rules are simple;

There is no limit to how many people can sign up
One card with one character per person
I have to know you for at least a year or more
You are under no obligation to give me anything back in return. (that's why I call these gifts.)
Respect the privacy laws/no address sharing (Which I know I can trust you guys on anyway.)
If you're interested, e-mail me your address. Do not post anything in the LJ comments with your personal information.

Normally I set the sign up deadline for mid November, but I'm going to put the deadline for October 20th instead. ( again that way I can make time for this and school. )

S + H: $2.00 ( digital art, 2 x 4 stickers, and 3.3 x 4 stickers are exempt from shipping and handling. )
Paper: standard 8 x 11.5 computer paper

Payment: Checks, Money order, or PayPal. If you prefer to snail mail me the payment, e-mail me and I can give you the address in private.

My Paypal e-mail is Bittermause@gmail.com

Due to personal circumstance, I will not start up a comission piece unless I am paid in full first. If there are any problems please e-mail me and we can negotiate.

Only subjects I will not/cannot draw are the following: pornography, gundam-style mechs, hardcore fetish art. I'm cool with requests for artistic nudity, as long as it is in good taste.

Also I've noticed a couple times in the past people will request work to be done and suddenly disappear without mentioning if they changed their mind or not, and they are still obviously active. Please don't be rude guys. It's not hard to say 'I'm sorry I changed my mind.' and I know DA's note system can be dysfunctional so getting a hold of me via e-mail is not hard either. Or for the sake of skipping out on possible misunderstanding woes, please think carefully on what you want before you contact me. I'm not going to bite your head off if you decide you don't want my services. I promise!

If interested, please e-mail me at bittermause@gmail.com and place 'comissions' under the subject.
