- Please be patient and respectful. Please refrain from asking about the progress of a piece within a week (7 days) of the batch start date (stated at each opening) unless previously discussed or is of HIGH urgency. Please do not send frequent messages to social media or Telegram regarding the commission unless discussed. Excessive failure to follow this and respect boundaries will lead to the artist blocking the client on social media until the piece is completed or permanently. Clients will be given a gentle reminder and warnings if this happens.
