Dear Artis,
You have been such a wonderful friend to JTRS collectors, and to me personally over these many years, I want to say thank you for all you have given, your caring, hard work, perseverance, and patience. I know at times it sure wasn't easy, with two distributors in bankruptcy and all the personnel and policy changes that go with it. Yet here we still are, amazing!
Well now, we have recent personnel changes at Evergreen, and it's going to be impossible for me to continue to share product development, (my working drawings of the shoes, and signed product and samples) in the future. Sharing with collectors and dealers has caused headaces for EG because they are just not a collector based company and do not have the expertise or resources to deal with the repercussions of providing this type of content, and since I want to maintain a good working relationship with them, I am going to honor their request.
That of course is going to make it much more difficult for you Artis, to continue to provide news for you collectors, and I am so sorry for this result. Also for you collectors to have something to share with each other. After all these years, you know how much I love you guys. Many of you have developed strong bonds of friendships which I hope will endure for many more years to come. I'll still be here designing and creating the most fun, sexy, and gorgeous shoes and some other stuff, as well as I can, I just won't be able to share it with you all until it hits the store shelves.
Thanks for understanding,
Raine
Oh dear, what a shame. I have collected from the beginning and have now decided not to continue. I hope to still look at the sites. Thank you Artis for all your help over the years. JTRS collectors are the best. xxxxx
