New Listing Description ADVICE please! =)

Please let me know your thoughts. I rewrote my listings. The old ones for custom art were soooo long and annoying. Please let me know if you think that the way this is written, in third person, is stupid or a god idea. My boyfriend told me I should write them in this format. I think it is kind of weird.

Here is my old description:
https://www.etsy.com/listing/101496917/custom-ink-drawing-black-white-intricate?ref=related-1
Should I:
Keep?
Change to first person?
Change it back to original?
And any other suggestions would be awesome. Thanks, friends!
Peace & bliss.

In other circumstances third person would be preferable. But here on Etsy things are a little different. It's about personal transactions between artist/crafter and buyer. This marketplace is friendly and casual in nature, and that's a big part of its appeal. Third person removes you from the equation.

I agree with Christine, I like listings using "I". It just sounds more personable. :)
