Who wants their own piece of art?

I'm going to take a leaf out of [livejournal.com profile] sdwolfpup's book and offer my services to people. You might remember my 'I'm going to do lots of art and would anyone like to see it?' post from a while ago. Well, that didn't really work out... I did get a project (from my husband's work) which I've practically completed, but it was beyond boring and I've not come up with any brilliant ideas of my own.

So, the premise is this: Is there anything you'd like a picture of (drawing, water-colour, or similar)? Anything really - the stranger the better. A favourite photo or a picture of someone special? Something from a holiday? A view you'd like immortalised? A favourite picture from a comic? Please comment here and put a picture of what-ever-it-is in an e-mail and send it to: me at elisiumfilm dot com. Any and all requests welcome, except fandom-related stuff. Much as I'd like to do it, I doubt an art-college interviewer would be impressed with a portfolio full of pictures of Buffy and Spike kissing (or PuppetAngel, sigh).

I'm not quite sure what to do with the end-results... I could always e-mail them, but I'd like to send them to you, if the postage is not too much... I'll have to think about that one - any suggestions welcome!

Anyway, if you'd like to join in, please do - like [livejournal.com profile] sdwolfpup I'd like to stretch myself and try out lots of different things! I'd love to do a painting f.ex (any subject at all!!), but since they take so (comparatively) long, you'd probably have to pay something... Basically I want to recapture my muse, and you could get your own piece of art! :)

Ooh, I want one! I want one! What a super idea! Although since Spuffy kissage would have been my first choice, I'll have to think of something else now. :)

I'll send the email with the picture soon.

I'd love some art, thank you! ;-)

I am going to think a little bit on it, and e-mail - with a picture or an idea, ok?

Now I have to think what to offer people in return - so many presents' offerings!

Ooooh...that is so cool. I'd love to request something, but I can't think of what at the moment. I'll have to go poke around on the 'net for pictures. (For pictures that are not of James Marsters, that is.) I imagine you're going to have lots to do when the rest of your flist sees this post. :)

*squee* What a *great* gift idea :)

What would I like?

I love sunsets - all melancholy-like. Something like that would be great. I love clouds and sky the most.

Whatever you'd like :) I'm just grateful that I'll be getting a prezzie!

I just think you're marvellous!

Funny you should mention icons, because when I first saw your default icon I was thinking what a gorgeous picture it made. (In fact, you'd have to be in the fandom to know what it was).

If you aren't full up on requests yet, I'd love to have a painting of that. (Afraid I can't even read the text to it so I don't know if that should be included or not).

Sorry I haven't replied to this sooner -- I think it just got buried in my Inbox and I thought I had.

I hope you found a copy of the cap. That's a lovely saying, and if you do decide to paint it I'd love to have those words on it.

I'm certainly not in any hurry and I can imagine there would be costs, particularly for shipping. Just let me know what happens.
