THANK YOU.

Um... wow.

So a week ago, I tossed up a few Paypal buttons and an idea, half expecting to get laughed off the internet.

That is not what happened.

THANK YOU, all of you, who have supported my art. In every way. From the commissions to the prints to the encouraging comments to the random email I got the other day from someone who read about this project and loved it and wanted to send me homemade jam-- you are awesome.

I wanted to give you some updates.

1.) COMMISSIONS. I love commissions. For those of you who requested commissions, I am SO STOKED to make art for you. I've realized that art making will take a little time (I am plotting out specific shoots for each of you, several of which require people who I'll have to wrangle) so your pieces may take up to a month to create. Some will be faster. If it's going to take longer than a month (ie, I need a little pink haired fairy for a shoot and [livejournal.com profile] fairytalevegas is away in Aruba until mid-December), I will email you and ask nicely if you are willing to wait.

2.) NUDITY. Some of you were worried about buying the surprise prints because your parents/roommates/significant others/children might not dig surprise nudity or other adult images. I understand that. Therefore, if you want "clean" surprise prints, just put that in the comments field and I will oblige.

3.) PRINTS. For those of you who ordered prints, I have ordered them from my printer and they're on their way to me. Soon after that, they will be on their way to you. Yay! Also, I find it fun that I've sold SEVEN copies of "Kitchen". Y'all love kissing girls. This is cool, because I also love kissing girls. Ahem.

4.) TIME. Many of you asked how long I'll continue to accept commissions/sell prints. The answer is "I hope for a long time."

5.) LIFE. Is good and full of love.

Love,
Beth

ps - Here is FREE ART for you.

'clean' images. Sad that the human body is considered 'dirty' - I for one am all for naked pics...though mostly women. We men usually look pretty dorky. =/~

I am tricking everyone--- really I'll just send them photos of naked women in bathtubs.

I rarely find a man who I want to photograph naked... women I find all the time. ;)

Just goes to show that when God created Man and then said, "No...that's not right. Hmmm, maybe more curves and less hair."

Darling, my parents go to Aruba. I have no vacations, except Boston. Which is still up in the air.

I wanna be a fairy.

hi beth. your art is really inspiring.
the third option is pretty rad. so, for us europeans, do we add a 10$ fee as a 'donation' on paypal plus the 5$?

i've sent you a key. hopefully you'll get it, if no weird italian postman has stolen it. :)

hee. Your PB photo, there, makes me feel art-full (pleasantly sated, that is, for the nonce) for sooo many reasons. *glee*

And I'm very glad the idea has gone so well.
