PSA:

Updated: Feb 4

I recently had to decline a commission that I was very excited about.


A friend's family member had seen a peice I'd painted for their son as a holiday commission and immediately asked for a nice portrait of a kitten, as a gift for a friend of theirs. Naturally I was delighted and excited to begin a new project. However, a few days afterwards, their son (who I had mentioned it to in passing) pulled me aside and asked me not to take the commission, then provided some details I had not been aware of previously. Without going into too many details, I agree that it's a project I can no longer work on.


I want my art to be something that everyone can enjoy. I don't care who you are or what you do for a living, and I do not have any issue with the intended recipient, but I will not willingly or knowingly contribute to situations or relationships that are morally wrong or damaging, especially if it's a project that is potentially hurtful to family members or that will cause a lot of pain to someone who doesn't deserve it. If there's a project you want done, but you're sulking around in secret because you're doing it for shameful reasons that would hurt the people you're supposed to love and care for, leave me out of it.


Art heals. I do not want my work to be used as a sword to stab innocent people in the back. Please consider this carefully when commissioning my work.
