Guys,
I've heard it's getting pretty heated around here, I'm high on the poop-list right now. I've gotten a couple heads up emails, that I need to drop in here. Those emails reference a certain guy that took off with a lot of peoples' money and I know that's made plenty of people hostile and Leary of everyone selling stuff. I'm still here, I'm not going anywhere and everyone WILL get what they paid for. I'm always available by PM and email ([email protected]) I may be hard to get in touch with, but I did NOT fly the coop or blow anyone off. I'm sure most of you have seen people ARE getting their stuff. Not as fast as anyone, especially myself, would like but stuff IS going out.
eBay..... As i posted some time ago, I've got a guy that keeps my stuff sorted for me now. he does all of the business end. I'M WORKING ON BACKLOG AND NEW STUFF CONCURRENTLY, that's how it has to be. It's not like I can shut down entirely until the backlog is done, that would be the end all together. Being a free-lance artist is my only job, and has been for nearly 9 years. this is not a hobby for me. All I can do is divide my time between new stuff and backlog.
Backlog.... What does that even mean? It's happened to a lot of artists on this board. Like I said, I've done this sort of thing for a long time. You don't always hit deadlines, but my usual turn-around was 4-5 weeks. That was back when I only did eBay and private commissions. When you join a board orders just flood in. You assume you can keep it orderly, but you can't. You realize FAR too late that the key to those timely turn-arounds was managing what you were putting out there and in what quantities. Even when I first came here that's exactly what I did; I took orders in groups of 3-4 pieces. There were no problems and I gained a solid rep in a short time. Perfect. When you let go of that and start excepting every order that comes in you bury yourself before you even realize you started digging. That's how you end up with a backlog.
I know plenty of you are very upset with me, and I get that. But what matters most to me right now is getting this stuff done and also that you all know that I am NOT trying, nor did I EVER intend, to rip anyone off! I'm a guy who f&&*ed up, NOT a thief. I would like to come back here in good standing one day, though that doesn't seem possible. Hopefully I can pull that off somehow.
All I ask is that, for now, when you think of me don't think of me as a thief, but think of me as a moron who is doing what he can to fulfill what he promised.
