SPECIAL UPDATE
SilentSurfer's Lab is closing its doors to all private commissions for a while. Too much success became a bad thing, not for me, but for you. The number of clients become unmanageable, some were sending money when they shouldn't have, others didn't send it when they should have, and packages started showing up unexpectedly simply to get in our queue, etc., etc. At least one valuable customer has requested all his stuff sent back unpainted because he was justifiably unwilling to wait any longer. I don't blame him.
Other unrelated situations also complicated our ability to keep up with the flow of work. We are not closing shop or disappearing from the business, but we must close the doors in order to restore order to all the orders we have in an orderly fashion.
I will probably continue not to post my work in here for the time being so that I do not inadvertently encourage people to hit me up about new projects. My PMs, email accounts, and Facebook are a mess with requests. I am even closing the door on VIP customers until things are caught up.
To be clear, I do not consider this a sign of failure, but a sign of too much success, and I greatly appreciate that. I will continue to work and to serve you my friends and customers as I have plenty of work to do for a good while. ALL ORDERS IN MY POSESSION WILL BE COMPLETED UNLESS THE CLIENT REQUESTS THEM BACK BEFORE PAINT HAS BEGUN. In which case corresponding deposits will also be refunded.
My hope is to clear my slate and welcome new projects in the near future with a much shorter turnaround as new orders won't automatically be placed at the end of 100+ other orders.
This isn't goodbye, but...
