Hi, that's no problem at all, I assumed you were busy! I hope your move back to school went well (:
I don't really feel comfortable negotiating prices, I'm sorry. I just feel it's really disrespectful to the artist. I don't want to underpay an artist for their work, people always take artists for granted and expect more for less. I hope you understand that I'm not disrespecting your decision to negotiate prices, I just don't feel comfortable asking that of someone!
I'd love to get one with a full background from you, your backgrounds are incredible! Unfortunately I don't quite have enough at the moment as I've had some unexpected expenses this past week, but I'm pretty sure I will in a week or two's time, do you know if you'll still be open then?
