Sifting Through Thoughts and Papers pt. 1

(peeks from behind piles of paper)

Oh my goodness! I reached 400 readers :D So happy here! Thank you so much lovely people! You know, I wonder if I ever get out of this cleaning mode, but okay, I have a few small updates for you.

Canceled 2nd blog.
I chatted to a few friends and after some thinking I decided to cancel my 2nd blog and post my columns solemnly on Expats Post (more on this soon). I divide you guys a bit all over the place now and to be honest keeping track of all I do is a tad much at times. So my column will be published there and every now and then I shall post a reminder here. Of course everyone who has me on Facebook or Twitter will see the tweets and status updates twirling by.

To everyone who followed me there and not here, please keep an eye on it and switch to this one if you want to stay up to date ^_^.


New commission/shop policies
I re-wrote my commission and shop policies. The last one was focused on the mugs I created, but now I changed directions, so needed to change my policies. I highly advice you read them as I (hopefully) provide you with enough information on how I work, price calculation so you can decide whether you want to hire me or not. Prices are quite difficult to point out as I used to end up doing more work then planned and as much as I love creating, I have to be sensible and realistic with my time and pricing.

Do NOT be afraid to e-mail once you've read it all and still have questions though. I don't bite...hehe.

Shopping!
Don't forget that you can get my stuff at two places now: Etsy & Zazzle. I have a permanent tab and a widget in the sidebar for them. Zazzle is really for those who just want to order stuff without the hassle of contacting me. All products listed on Etsy have gone through my hands. I signed it, added extra details, wrap it up for you and fly to the post office. Also, original pieces will be listed on Etsy alone as well. Remember, I'll work with small stocks, so if prints/cards are gone, they are gone unless you guys keep asking for moooorrrreee! hehe.

NOTE: I've FINALLY ordered new prints of sketches and new art. These will arrive next week and will be added in my Etsy shop and I'll be doing a giveaway when I reach 300 likes on Facebook!!! Stay tuned for an update.



Random Rant: I dislike doing VAT and tax thingiessssss, but I have tooooooooo (head desk)

Column Post: My latest column is about Mirrors. Do have a peek if you're intrigued :D

Ciao Everyone!

    1. Hahaha! I've been blogging for almost 3 years now. It will be 3 years in June! I still consider myself a rookie though! The only thing I did was rambling and sharing stories and doodles. It led to many things ^_^

      Thank you so much for strolling by, Pete! Say hello to Graet for me please!

  3. I never knew you had a second blog! You must be really popular :3! I only follow this blog so I guess I'm set ^^.
    I don't blame you for canceling your other blog, it's hard even to maintain one xD.

    Nice new paintings by the way :3! I love your style so much. ^^

    1. Ciao Shawnte!! Haha. I'm not THAT popular though! I started a column on a writers website, but I decided to stop writing there for various reasons. So I decided created the 2nd blog to store away my column. This blog is really rambly and I talk about lots of subjects. So I figured to have a more 'serious' blog where the focus was more on my writing and collecting my thoughts about the Illustration World in a logic way. But with a bunch of lovely friends Expats Post has been brought to life, so I write there and keep everyone up to date on my main blog. Makes more sense in my brain hehe :D

      Thank you sooo much! I'm so happy you love my style ^_^ *dances* Have a lovely day! Or evening! Or morning...I'm actually not sure where you live now hahah.

  8. Hey TJ, congrats on your accomplishment :) I'm glad to say I finally dived into the blogging scene, don't know if you remember me, left a comment a while back around summer I believe, and I can't thank you enough :) It only took me a couple of months for your reply to register on my mind JAJAJA. How do you promote yourself though? if you don't mind me asking.
    I love reading your posts btw, its like opening a present when I see a new post up JAJAJA.
    So anyways congrats again,
    Take Care!
