Frankly I find it exceedingly sad that this far into my artwork life on deviantART I've got to make a journal about people begging me for commissions work. This is not a beef at everyone; plenty of people on here actually have manners and the sense enough to understand that when I state my commissions are closed they are actually closed and I'm not being bloody minded! When I send out a note replying to a commissions request I am being extremely honest with the amount of workload I have going on in real life; I have three jobs people, I work so damn hard all the time and believe me, with that workload comes a lot of stress. I won't beat the cow to death with this, all I am asking is that people be realistic with what they ask of me. I can't "do just one" commission on top of a workload of 20+ gifts and prizes for the competitions I placed before Christmas. It just will not happen. So as opposed to saying yes and taking it on then having to disappoint when I figure out I haven't the time to complete the task, I'm honest with you... "my commissions are not open right now, but a journal will be posted as soon as they are and 3 slots will be available" - And I'm sorry, I cannot offer more than that.
Gone are the days that I can be carefree with my time, I have a full time job that saps the life from me and I work on the side too; I design book covers for up and coming authors, I have a girlfriend and a social life. I LOVE ART; but I don't have all the time in the world to do it anymore, I have responsibilities and it's my Christmas HOLIDAY for christ's sake! I don't want to work more than usual through my Christmas holiday; I'm supposed to be relaxing and be stress free.. (that's not happening right this minute believe me!)
And thank you for your note... I do not have anger issues sweetheart, I have bratt issues; bratt issues from people like you who do not take no for an answer!
Every time I fall in love with deviantART again, I fall out of love with it super quickly.. please god tell me that I'm not the only one who has to deal with these kinds of people and notes from them too!?
*sigh*

Iceland: 3rd - 11th March (2017!)
Howdy!
With hindsight, I probably should have announced this earlier! Alas... I am always late (I was even late coming into this world!) so this is no reason to be any different! 😂
I am flying to Iceland 🇮🇸 in literally a couple of days! I'll be there from the 3rd to 11th March and am staying centrally in Reykjavik. I realise this is super short notice, and whilst I have a few trips booked I am pretty much free for the rest of the week; so if any of you live in vercinity of Reykjavik, let a gal know :) be lovely to meet up for coffee (or hot chocolate!) or a snow photo shoot seeing as that's kinda come on in the last
Things that happened to me in 2016:
Things that happened to me in 2016; the good, the bad and the ugly.
* I made a New Years resolution to lose weight and become fitter; so far I've lost 2 stone.
* I created art. Infrequently. But still created it.
* I bought a Fitbit.
* I reconnected with my birthday twinsie arrsistable (https://www.deviantart.com/arrsistable) - who I am so so so so grateful for, every day ♥️
* I was called a cunt, a whore and a bitch by a work colleague and then blamed for their outburst and cautioned by management.
* I relapsed and I cut myself again.
* I worked for the company for another 3 months after the outburst before my anxiety and depression really took its toll.
* I wrote
legitimately the best travel holiday!!
So I'm writing this real quick whilst I {a} have signal and {b} am not bouncing around on a minibus/in a car/on a boat/plane/or just general walking!!
Yesterday fillyrox (https://www.deviantart.com/fillyrox) and I went on a boat tour to Bruny Island in Tasmania, it was immense, beautiful, smelly (seals), picturesque and fookin' freezing! No wait, that's not an understatement, it really is freezing here; far colder than the UK right now.
I'll get down to the gist of this cause otherwise it could be LOOOONNNNGGGG!! So we're on the bus coming back, bouncy, bouncy and we've asked if we can be dropped off outside our (casino) hotel, walking up the drive all achy breaky cause we wen

24th September - 15th October 2016
Well folks, the time has come for me to fly away again, most of you will know that I am off to the land of Oz to spend some time with family and friends and of course take a much needed holiday especially after these passed couple of months.
I wasn't specific before as I wasn't sure just how specific I could be without getting into hot water. After a very stressful time in the office dealing with workplace bullying and various disgusting and vulgar outbursts by the bully (my boss' daughter) I reached the end of my very short tether and resigned from my current job back in July. I was immediately put onto g

OMG! CAN I HAVE A COMMISSION?!?!
Haha. I kid, I kid. People really should learn not to put pressure on people. They also need to realize that you can't do a million things at once and real life takes presidency over art. You have to do what pays the bills before you put effort into what is only pocket change in comparison. Hopefully people will actually calm down and think about the ARTIST for a change, and understand that they can only do so much and only as real life allows.
