Reaction to my announcement of limited commissions being open has been astounding. PCGamer first picked up the announcement, then USA Today published an article about it! As a result, I got quite a few e-mails about commissions, and have since signed agreements to do several of those. In fact, I’ve already finished my first commission, and I’d like to thank the commissioner, Fernando Calvo Schiappacasse, for trusting me to get the job done!
If you will remember, I was opening commissions primarily so I could finish buying parts for a computer build. Well, thanks to what I’ve done so far, along with an eBay sale of some excess laptop RAM, I’ve been able to buy the remainder of those parts! The last part, the motherboard, was purchased over the weekend and is en route. I’m extremely grateful to finally be able to do this.
Does this mean that I’m going to close commissions, now that I’ve bought my parts? Not by a long shot. There are end-of-year bills to pay, and I need to boost the household income. There are also other items I’d like to buy for the finished new Music Computer, like a breath controller for composing more lifelike brass and woodwind parts with Cakewalk for Bandlab. So, for the foreseeable future, I will be keeping commissions open.
Once again, if you are interested in a commission, please drop by my Commissions page. I look forward to hearing from you!
Well, the computer build was coming along nicely until household finances reared their ugly head. I am now $529 away from completing the build, and that’s where I will stay until at least after the first of the new year. I’ve made great progress in getting things together using just my own money and have dipped into the household budget just once on a pre-Black Friday item that was about to run out of inventory.
