some changes coming to the store!
hey guys! first of all, i just want to say thank you so much for supporting our etsy store! your orders have helped us get through a tough time financially this year. it seriously means the world to us.
some good news, brian, our lovely jewelrymaker, just got a new full time retail job! we want to keep the store running, so this means we will need to raise our prices on all jewelry as his free time will be more limited and valuable! the price change will go into effect on June 2nd. (Prices on prints and original paintings will remain as is.)
feel free to take advantage of our current low prices for the next week until this change takes place! thank you so much for your understanding and support!
-Shelby, Brian, and Danny

A gouache portrait commission based on an old blurry photo of the client’s mother. Most of their family photos were destroyed in a house fire so it was very special to bring some more life to this memory. 💚

Hello friends! I am once again open for digital commissions! If you are interested in reserving a slot, please email me at shelby.cragg(at)gmail or DM me on Discord shelby#9827. All payments are made through PayPal.
Check out my site shelbycragg.art for more examples of what I can do. I am open to custom backgrounds, multiple characters, etc. for an extra cost. I also have traditional painting commissions available, feel free to ask for a quote!
I just got a new retail job but my paychecks won't start coming in for another 3 weeks, so some extra help is needed this month to make ends meet. Signal boosts are greatly appreciated!
