I finished the giant gengar pixel blanket and apparently hate myself to do it again for money (again) so

DETAILS ON COMMISSIONING A PIXEL BLANKET (Does not have to be a gengar. I would in fact prefer it if it wasn't)

(not calling you out or targeting you personally to pressure or anything this is just a repeated sentiment in the notes sorry for blasting your tags specifically)

just to reiterate again for everyone in the notes/reading this like “aw if i had the money i would”

i not only accept but actively encourage paying in instalments on large projects. something large or complex takes a long time for me to finish! months, even! stretch it out as much as you want there’s a lower limit to how quickly i can feasibly do something massive or complex but there is absolutely no upper limit. if it takes us both a year it takes us both a year. if you can’t spare anything one month i simply do not make any progress on it that month it’s no big

the only required upfront payment is for whatever the yarn costs because i have to buy that shit first but if necessary you can even wait another little while to start paying for labour. again, don’t care. i work on it when you can afford for me to work on it. it lives in the cupboard otherwise. this does not bother me.

paying me as i go makes it easier for you, but also easier for me because i have adhd and no impulse control and a semi-steady income supply of like. £80 a month is far more manageable than a one-time windfall of £800 (or whatever) that i then have hanging over me until i finish

(also you can commission gengar if you want i have probably sufficiently mentally recovered i retract my initial statement re: another gengar. a different sprite would be cool though. for the variety)

The phrase "They don't want it perfect, they want it Friday" does wonders for my productivity.

I tell this story all the time but I'll tell it again! When I taught kindergarten full time, we had a working bee one weekend where we did a bunch of gardening/landscaping in the outdoor area. One of the dads put up a bit of fencing, then stood back and had a look, kind of frowning like he wasn't sure. His wife then came along, and the following conversation ensued:

Wife: GETMO?
Husband: (after a moment, with a sigh) Yeah, GETMO.
Me: GETMO?
Wife and husband, in perfect unison: Good Enough To Move On

Absolutely LIFE CHANGING acronym, friends and enemies.

Interaction witnessed at post office today:

Elderly lady mail clerk and young customer are chatting. Customer says, "oh! I'm wearing my boss's coat right now, give me something weird to put in the pocket!" Others within earshot all start looking for something because, hey, important quest. Mail clerk finally reaches under counter, pulls out a large roll of labels, and tears one off.

don't infantilise yourself. you are not a child who needs an adult to make your decisions for you. you are a splendid and magnificent autocrat and you are consulting your trusted advisors. you are exercising great wisdom by inviting an expert to give their opinion before making your ruling. often the path of wisdom is to say "good morning, I'm trying to [perform task] and I have a question about [aspect], can you tell me who I should speak to for advice?" before you do it. sometimes the path of wisdom is to hire a plumber. there are times when you cannot do things for yourself but that doesn't mean you are not an adult. you don't need a grown-up. you need a specialist.

this has come up a couple of times so let me be really really clear:

the path of wisdom is sometimes to hire a plumber.

the path of wisdom is always to hire an electrician.

oakoak, 'Free Rothko', 2024

The best thing about this is how much love for Rothko there is in it. Like... here. Here is a rectangle, and if you stand far away it's just two or three colors a bit streaky, and the closer you get the more it opens up until it swallows you whole with the idea of how vast it is, how much bigger than you. If someone framed the real-life sea and sky and told everybody that's what my artwork was like to them I'd kiss them
