Once again..... no new orders, sorry.

In September I made a post explaining that because of the amount of people waiting for me to do things for them, that I would not be taking on any new requests for the forseeable future while I made my way through all the painting.

Unfortunately the emails and requests havae started to trickle in again, so I thought I'd head them off at the pass before it became too much.

Here's an edited version of the post I made in September. Thanks.

For the last year and a half, (I've had) people emailing me asking if I can do some custom work for them. Maybe painting an action figure, or something similar. Up until now I've been happy to do this for people as it's a hobby I enjoy doing (I always enjoyed painting and drawing), and it helped pay for painting supplies for myself.

Unfortunately, as I can only work in short bursts during the day due to my epilepsy (had it since I was 12... just don't talk about it much), the list of things I said I would do for people grew and grew, until now it might take me between 6 and 12 months just to work my way through it! (it often takes me two weeks to paint a single head)

Because of this ... I've decided that from now on, until further notice, I won't be taking on any new painting jobs for people, while I slowly work my way through the ones I've already agreed to do.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who's gotten in touch just to give me compliments on my painting work and custom figures. I'll still be posting pictures on here of new painted heads as I do them, so there'll still be plenty of stuff to look at.

If you were thinking of asking me to do something for you, then I'm sorry but I'll have to say no for the time being. I'll probably start up again once I've worked my way through my list, I enjoy this hobby far too much to stop it completely. Thanks!

Darren
