The only problem I have with this entire senario is:
I'm assuming this is a piece of artwork. 8.5x11" is standard, imo. Shipping on such an object, with packing supplies included (package, bubble wrap, etc.) is $4.00.
We all have medical bills. I've actually been in the EXACT same situation as the artist in question, but me mourning the loss of my daughter didn't effect the fact that I gave the package to my mate, and said "Hun. This has to go out on X/X/XX, can you please ship it?" Did the 20 minute trip to the post office bother him? I doubt it.
No matter what happens in your personal life (or in this case the artist, or mine.) The customers don't' pay for your life story, they don't pay for excuses. They pay for an image, and the resulting image in their hands.
Even if the OP was a little impatient, the things said by the artists were unnecessary, and completely over the top.
