I have been frustrated with the inconsistent communication surrounding this project so far. My schedule is pretty intense, so I need to plan deadlines as far in advance as possible. I make an effort to respond promptly to any art requests I receive, and I appreciate the same consideration and consistency from anyone I work with.
Let me know the deadline for the actual piece, and I'll see what I can do. I agreed to be part of the book mostly because I already had a piece that would fit the theme. It sounds like a beautiful project, but unfortunately between 3 jobs, commissions, curating, and multiple art exhibits each month, I can't spend the time to make a piece that doesn't fit into one of my existing bodies of work. I've already painted the Kitsune legend, and if you guys would like a brand new piece, I'd rather paint something other than what I've already done. Please let me know which tales are already taken, and I'll see if I can find time and inspiration to create a different one before the deadline. Cheers.
