Hello everyone!

I just wanted to give a bit of an update with a few of the things going on recently. Times have continued to be hectic, but we've been doing our best to take everything in stride. We greatly appreciate all of your patience and understanding while we continue to navigate things one situation at a time.

First and foremost, I'll be going in for a bit of an extensive surgery on Thursday, April 23rd. I'm not sure just yet how long recovery will be, as they won't cover this with me until the day of. I'm going to plan for the usual 6 weeks, but be pleasantly surprised if it takes less than that. During this time, I won't be available to answer any emails or client questions. Once I'm given the green light to return back to work, I'll catch up on any messages I may have missed.

In order to help London not get overwhelmed while I'm away, we're going to place most things on hold. London will be mainly focusing on their irl work, to ensure they're not falling behind. They will also continue working on ko-fi headshots and adoptables, in order to help keep them afloat while they're still settling into their new job situation. They're on a quarterly pay schedule, so in order to keep up with bills, they will continue working as usual (within their capacity).

Once I return, we have plans to introduce a couple of new things in the hopes that it will make organization much easier for those wanting to follow our progress without having to read a lot of extra text. We strive to continue offering clients and the general community transparency. We will also be looking over the Trello to see how we can organize the schedule in a way that better fits London's new work flow with their irl job.

Just wanted to add context to this, since rather than replying to me, I'm finding this post instead. I did my best to remain in full contact with Silvo. I made sure to do my best to keep up with all of their account changes to ensure I was following them in case contact was needed. I regularly ✦

🚨 𝐈𝐌𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐓 𝐔𝐏𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 🚨 Hello! Some things have been brought to my attention recently that have been really upsetting. Several people have been sharing London's bases (as well as my collab base) in more attempts to sabotage their passive income. 👇 Screenshots of theft below 👇

For anyone who isn't aware, the money that comes from their passive income helps goes toward refunds. Since 2022-2023, London's income has taken such a toll that they were unable to afford them. They've barely been making rent and bills. The recent ko-fi headshots have slowly begun to turn things around and make it more possible for them to stabilize things. This would mean that any additional sales from bases can go toward refunds. I made an agreement with London that I would help with them up until we got to some of the larger amounts ($200 and higher), because I'm on disability and a fixed income. I can't afford to continue giving more than I already have.

If people continue sharing these bases, it makes it harder for us to continue giving refunds. I don't want to have to put a permanent halt on them. I want to give London the opportunity to both offer refunds monthly and deliver art that is owed, without having to worry about meeting their own needs or whether or not they'll be able to keep their home. We've been putting in the work, especially these last 11 months. If it makes you angry that these people are thwarting our efforts, all I can ask is this:

1) SPEAK UP. If you see this happening, speak up as a client. Let these people know that they're not helping you. They're actually making it harder for you to get what's owed.

2) REPORT THEM. If you're able to report the posts, then please do. And if you're not sure if we've seen them, please feel free to message me with any links to people sharing bases against TOS. We're looking into what we can do in order to take legal action, if necessary, as this is not only theft of intellectual property, but can be considered a loss of wages as well.

3) If you can see the efforts that we're making and want to help us continue making progress, please give your support to London. Either through the ko-fi Sketchbook Club, by purchasing things from their shop or simply by boosting their posts on social media.

TL;DR

As London's manager, and the fact that I've been able to observe everything closely for the past 10 months, I'm pretty confident that I can accurately report what has and hasn't been working so far based on feedback we have received. I'd like to address what I feel needs to change to get things moving again that works for both London and their clients. In this assessment I discuss my observations, obstacles both London and I have run into, what is creating these cycles that need to be broken and the approach I'd like to share based on feedback from outside, professional parties.
