commissions are open

Hi everyone! This is going to be a busy summer for me: I am going to Finland in June for a month-long artist residency, and in August I will be having the infamous ~*top surgery.*~ My insurance is covering said surgery, but there will be a co-pay, and between that and the costs of travel, I am looking at quite a bit of upcoming expense.

I've decided to knock down some commission prices for the end of March and the month of April to hopefully help fundraise. Here is what I am offering:

Tumblr unfortunately won't let me add multiple images to this post without crashing the post editor, but I've added some examples within the google form for these commissions. If you want to see more examples you can always look through the my art tag on my blog or feel free to contact me. Please share this post with anyone you think may be interested! I am probably looking at about $5000-6000 in expenses this summer, and every bit helps!

@johannestevans has been posting a lot about House which reminded me of these extremely old art pieces I made circa 2007 in my freshman year of college - the assignment was to make a set of stamps. I did not know how to use Photoshop. I think they are still fun to look at.

In case you were wondering, Chase was absolutely my favorite and I still resent how dirty the writers done his character in later seasons, tyvm.

For those who are wondering about prints - you can still find prints of my older work on society6. I have not set up a way to purchase prints of post-2019 work yet, partly because I'd like to handle it myself as a way to control my profit margin a bit better, and partly because I don't see a lot of interest in my non-MCU work. Prints may eventually be found on my etsy shop.

No, I deactivated my Patreon several years ago as I found there was too much expectation attached to the idea of the rewards involved, and especially after Patreon started taking larger and larger chunks it wasn't worth the stress and anxiety for me! I do have a ko-fi, which I was trying to post regularly to for a while - but trying to keep up with posting on all the social media cuts into the time and energy I'd rather be spending on creative pursuits, so I am more just using it as a tip jar now.

I am currently focused on original work with a smattering of occasional fanart.
