Cancelation of commissions

Posted by dokudoku 2 years ago

 

Hello all and a happy new year.
I am afraid I come with sad news to the people who watch me and were hoping to get artwork from me. As of today I will have to end taking commissions.

I apologize for the inconvenience, but due to recent changes in 1099-K for 3rd party sites that was just brought to my attention, I must cease commissions. The IRS has changed reporting for 3rd party sites from $20,000 to $600. I cannot afford the taxes that will come from this, so I must sadly stop commissions until further notice.

Don't worry, I will still do art work and submit it as it comes. I may very well try pro bono work here and there and even a raffle, but as far as I am concerned, this is something that I can no longer do and feel comfortable with.

I am devastated by what has happened, but it is what it is. I also apologize to all my viewers hoping for a commission. I only hope my output will suffice.

Thank you and best wishes.

While it is a shame to hear this, I understand your position and am 100% on board with this development if it means you can avoid financial difficulties with the IRS.

As an aside you should still be able to do art trades, right? If so that could be the silver lining to this situation. Though if you don't do art trades in the first place that wouldn't matter much, would it?

Anyways, I'm wishing you the best moving forward!
