hi, its Don. I just recently graduated high-school and will be attending college in the fall to pursue a career in Audiology. While I'm super excited to start this new chapter in my life, there are also a few worries that come with it. I am currently facing a lot of health-realted issues that require me to be readily available for any pen appointment. Therefore, searching for a summer job with this in mind, along with the low chance of landing a job for as little as a month and a half, makes my original goal of collecting a few more savings for college when the time comes to move to a new, unfamiliar campus and city very difficult. Requesting a commission from me would not only help me to gain experience working freelance and getting a super cool piece of personal artwork from me, but you would also be supporting my dreams fr the future, making it possible to fulfill my aspirations. It would be an honor to receive your support this way, as I understand that it is a privilege in the first place. Regardless, you should never feel obligated to purchase artwork from me. Art should come from a genuine place in the heart, not for material or personal gain. I get an intimate joy in being able to have a platform to create and share my art to other enthusiasts, and I value this more than anything. Thank you, DonutAddic
