Dear Art Shop Customers...

[June Bug]

The only problem with the artist rant is, its mostly just artists there, so customers don't see how much we complain about this stuff there. This is a much better way to get the word out

[emilyg2014]

I completely agree. I'm an artist myself, and I hate when people are just plain rude

Bump.. it wa son 3rd page. D:

I agree with all this XD Although my art shop is not overlypopulated, I've seen Blu's art shop before, and I've seen those "Closed but still ordering" type still going on..

[starcrusher]

I figured I probably shouldn't bump this because bumping isn't technically allowed on the general chat. XD
...But replies help.

[grisly bear]

I guess.. Dx

Oh thank you for writing this Tris...definitely a very good read and I hope this helps to open people's eyes to the fact that artists are not machines. We are people with lives and we can't be pandering to your every artistic need. ;3

So true D8
I don't know how many self-centred people have submitted their stuff when my shop was closed just because they took it into their head that they're special. DX Even if you post something important in colour, people pay attention to it for a week and then start ignoring it and going back to the same mistakes as before, and the notice is still there.

But there is one thing about running an art shop which I have noticed, less people seem to misbehave if you don't try to rip their heads off in the first post. For example, having "please read the rules =D" rather than "READ THE RULES NOW OR ELSE YU SMELLY PEOPLE!!!1!!11 D:<" makes people a whole lot happier to cooperate with you.

Most of my customers have been quite sympathetic with me taking my time. I imagine I'll run across a bad one sooner or later though.

We need banners - "Support artist's sanity!!"

What a moving speech, it makes one start to think..

I think this is awesome! I sometimes order art from people, and I know that some people can be a bit.... impatient.
