[Forwarded from my post on tumblr
If you'd like to contact or refer me to someone for more extensive services concerning sequential art, character design, illustration, and/or other visual projects, my business e-mail is LexWIllustrator@gmail.com]

I have some news concerning myself and my financial situation here. This isn't meant to guilt anyone, or aggravate anyone's anxiety, but I feel it's important to be honest with you about my current circumstances.

Many of my followers/watchers who know me know that I've been doing commissions for a while now, and that I've previously been in financially stressful situations. Thankfully, because of all of your support, I have been able to double my income compared to last year, and its because of you all that I've been able to do so.

Even then, I still only make an average of $150 a month, which is how much I pay to my parents in rent, and how much it costs for gas to get to and from Springfield with Hunter. I also still have my own bills to worry about, which I usually fall behind on.

My parents have informed me that both of them will be unemployed very soon- Meaning that in a few months, the only person with "steady" income will probably be me.

I feel like if I raise my current prices, that I will lose my current customer base (and my current prices are really reasonable) which is why the prices haven't changed. I will consider delaying an increase in my prices until February or March of next year, but if things get really stressful, I will have no choice.

Winter is around the corner, and I know everyone will be Black Friday and Christmas shopping and all that, and I know that not everyone will be available to spend money buying commissions from me, and I completely understand and respect that.

But what I am asking of you is that if you can't buy anything at all from me, that you please share all of my sales and commission information as much and as often as you can.

I have RedBubble and Patreon accounts, which are some of the cheapest ways you can support me (you can pay as little as $2.50 for content there!) and of course, I frequently post my art to Tumblr, and DeviantART, my animations go to Youtube, and I stream on Picarto.

I will also be scheduling more commission art streams for people who want to pay on the spot for my artwork.

I've decided to cancel any and all plans to save up for conventions in 2015, and cosplay(s) I'd like to do will have to wait until another day in the future. Not to mention that Hunter and I are still looking into the whole apartment thing, and I plan on going down to Springfield, MO again on January 23rd.

If a friend of yours (with disposable income, I would hope) makes an offhand comment like "what if x character fought y character" then it would be great if you mentioned me (Oh, Lex would totally draw something like that!) Because I would! As long as its not explicit content, and as long as you have visual reference, I will be more than glad to draw anything concerning any fandom!

Anyway, sorry to bother you all with this post, but if you see me frantically advertising my services, it's because of what I've mentioned above. Thank you for reading, and thank you for continuing to support me!
