Right, I think it really is about time to make this official:

- Essence-Stock will not be updated anymore -

I've really been trying to get back into the whole stock thing, but the time I have to myself is becoming increasingly less, and I'm sorry to say that this account is rather far down on my list of priorities.
I haven't continued writing on my novel for months now, and there are still 2 photography sessions sitting around un-edited. I'd rather focus on these things that mean more to me personally, as selfish as that may sound, and I hope you can understand that.

I feel especially bad for letting down those people who patiently waited for me to get to their commission requests, and I deeply apologise for having to tell them after MONTHS (!) of waiting that it's just not going to happen.

I'm very sorry... but this is probably the more reasonable solution.

Thanks to everyone who supported me!
The photos I have up now will remain as they are and are free to be used by whoever wants to use them. You may also print and sell artwork that utilises my stock photos, I don't mind. Just if it's a COMMERCIAL project OUTSIDE OF DA I'd like to be asked first (on my arts account ~Stormbeast ).

Please do NOT send me links to pieces you used my stock in, nor ask me for permission to use my stock in a NON-commercial project of any kind. I will most likely not manage to read them anyway.

So that's that.

All the best!
Matt
