COMMISSIONS OWED...
4 min read
Hi everyone.
I know I have been MIA for a very long time... and I would like to explain briefly the reason for said absence:
As some of you may already know (at least those of you who have been following me for the better part of 7 or more years) I lost my mother to Lung Cancer back in early November of 2006. It was devastating and it took both my family and I a very long time to recover from the loss. It was... difficult. But with the support of my family (my dad especially) I was able to move forward with life and eventually get back to doing the things that gave me joy. I took on a handful of commissions and completed a couple of them. But unfortunately I was not able to complete all of them before my family and I again received another crushing bit of news; in late 2010 my dad was diagnosed with stage 3 Colon Cancer. I couldn't believe it. It had only been 4 years since my mother's passing... It was too much, too soon. We fought it for the better part of 2 years and at one point I honestly thought we were going to beat it back. But the effects of chemotherapy and other factors took a serious toll on my dad's body and eventually we came to a point where there was nothing more the doctors could do to help us. He passed away last April of 2012. Needless to say... it was an impossible loss. I honestly do not think I could have survived it if it weren't for the constant support and love of my family and friends.
I have been taking life one day at a time since then and do my best not to take on more that what is necessary. Working, keeping house, paying bills... you know, the inescapable show that must go on... and on.
So again, I am slowly making my way back to some semblance of normalcy in my life. And though some would consider a couple of past due commission to be an irrelevant thing in retrospect to all that has happened in the past 3 years... I can't help but feel the need to pay back what is owed of me. I may not have been in the forefront of my mind, but it has always been ON my mind. A since of unfinished business. A debt never repaid. So I'm taking this time right now (while things are somewhat calm) to reach out to those of you who are still expecting commissions from me. If you are still interested in receiving artwork from me, I ask that you please resend all descriptions and reference pictures of the characters you requested to be drawn so that I may complete your commissions and get them out to you ASAP. I have since replaced my old computer after receiving the "blue screen of death" so I will be needing to redo them from scratch. If you are no longer interested, then I will be more than happy to reimburse you for the total amount originally paid for said commission. Either way would be fine; I just want to make things right with you guys. I may be unbelievably late (and that is an understatement)... But I would never ever want any of you to think that I simply took your money and skipped out on you! So please hit me up via my NOTES and I will get back you to straight away.
Again, I hope you guys can understand and forgive me for my complete and total absence these past few years. Life is an incredibly unpredictable thing... and though I cannot guarantee that there will be no further delays or upsets in the future, I can at least say that for the moment things are stable and I will do my best to square things away here first before I perform any further disappearing acts.
Thanks so much for your patience in this matter...
Oh yes! And many thanks to those of you who sent me warm wishes and kind words via 'notes' and emails and letters... It really meant a lot to me and I hope to hear from you all again very soon.
xoxo

Hope you guys enjoyed ringing in the new year as much as I did. ^^ 
Here's to following through with those new years resolutions! *holds up giant white cup of green tea*
And to celebrate this fresh new date on our calendars, I have decided to offer discount prices for 10 Digital commission slots listed below for the month of January. The sooner a request is placed, the greater the discount will be. So if you are interested in snagging one of these bargain slots, be one of the first to 'Note' me with your request/character info and I will gladly post your name next to the winning slot. Payments must be made before slots can be officially claimed (PayPal payments ONLY please --> Rhythmic_Waves2004@ yahoo.com). If a slot is not paid for within 24hrs after request has been sent - it will be passed down to a subsequent requester. I have placed NO limits on how many slots one person can purchase. Feel free to grab as many as you'd like! But please note that you must pay for your slots within the 24hr time frame or they will be given to someone else. Alright, that's it you guys. Happy shopping! Thanks for your interest and as always...
Chuffs for now! =^_~=
P.S. (New artsies coming soon!)

Felt like updating this journal, but my brain is drawing a bit of a blank as to what kind of stuff I could update it with. 2am isn't exactly a textually creative time for my noodle. So I guess I'll just list a short playlist of the last 11 songs that have been playing in the background, keeping me conscious while I sit at my desk posting and replying to comments.
And yes, I know; this journal will rock so hard... *ohh AM sarcasm*
1. Party man - Prince
2. Benny and the jets - Elton John
3. Red red wine - UB40
4. Paparazzi - Lady GaGa
5. International players anthem - UGK ft. Outkast
6. Single Ladies - Beyonce
7. Go ask alice - Jefferson Airplane
8. Furious Angels - Rob Dougan
9. Painted black - Rolling Stones
10. Analyze - Thom Yorke (from 'The Prestige' soundtrack)
11. Apologize - Timbaland ft. One Republic
Yay! That was fun wasn't it kiddes. And if it wasn't.... who cares! It's late and no one reads doofy journals like these, not really. It's mosr like skimming really... So if anyone wants to skim,be my gust. I'm turning in for the night. Laters ^^
Oh and P.S. I am currently OPEN for commissions. Note me if interested.
