I've decided to do art commissions to earn a little extra money and help improve my skills. I sketch/draw, paint, and am working on photography. I've got a portfolio to look at, and pricing would be dependent upon what's being commissioned--obviously the more intricate the work, the pricier it'll be. I can do portraits, still life, or even just a personal design or whatever else you might want. Just comment here or on any other entry in the future if you want a commissioned piece of art.

	That's really interesting. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	jamienotmorty 2008-01-22 09:09 pm UTC (link)
	Wh How so? Artists do it all the time. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	malcolmite 2008-01-22 09:17 pm UTC (link)
	Well, I didn't know you were an artist. That makes it interesting to me. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jamienotmorty 2008-01-22 09:23 pm UTC (link)
	Oh. Yeah. Well, I am. At least, I'd like to be. Don't know if others see it that way. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	malcolmite 2008-01-22 09:25 pm UTC (link)
	Well if you think you are then you are, yeah? It's about what you believe in yourself. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jamienotmorty 2008-01-22 09:35 pm UTC (link)
	I guess so. I doubt I'll ever be like one of the masters (at least, not now. Maybe when I'm dead, though), but I think it'd be wicked to have a gallery showing at some point in my life. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	malcolmite 2008-01-22 09:48 pm UTC (link)
	I think it would be wicked too. ~~I have an idea but I think you hate me half the time so I don't want to weird~~ Maybe you should post some of your art. I've seen it done in the journals before. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jamienotmorty 2008-01-22 09:52 pm UTC (link)
	Maybe. I don't know how I feel about using spell-o tape on them, though. If I take them out, they might rip or something. But I'll consider it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	malcolmite 2008-01-22 09:56 pm UTC (link)
	You could protect them with a spell, I'm sure. Just a simple modified repairing charm, though I think spell-o tape is supposed to not rip things. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jamienotmorty 2008-01-22 09:59 pm UTC (link)
	Maybe. I might look into it and try it with things I don't want to put in my portfolio. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	malcolmite 2008-01-22 10:03 pm UTC (link)
	Start with napkin sketches! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jamienotmorty 2008-01-22 10:05 pm UTC (link)
	I don't think I have any, but that'd be because I make a habit of keep a sketch pad of some sort on me at all times in case inspiration hits. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	malcolmite 2008-01-22 10:07 pm UTC (link)
	That's really smart! You keep it on you at work even? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jamienotmorty 2008-01-22 10:08 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, I do. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	malcolmite 2008-01-22 10:12 pm UTC (link)
	Interesting! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jamienotmorty 2008-01-22 10:16 pm UTC (link)
	Yes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	malcolmite 2008-01-22 10:31 pm UTC (link)
	I look forward to seeing your artwork. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	madleyinlove 2008-01-22 09:08 pm UTC (link)
	A fellow artist. How exciting! I always like looking at other's art...maybe we can talk about arranging something? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	jamienotmorty 2008-01-22 09:10 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, we definitely could. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	madleyinlove 2008-01-22 09:25 pm UTC (link)
	I don't know when I'll be able to, with the Hogsmeade trips all buggered up. But we should be able to figure something out...I'll let you know, yeah? What mediums do you focus on? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jamienotmorty 2008-01-22 09:32 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah all right. Predominately pencil/ink and paper, usually in black and white because it's cheapest, honestly, but I like charcoal for some things. I also like water colour and have recently gotten into acrylic and photography. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	madleyinlove 2008-01-23 01:54 am UTC (link)
	Oh, I've wanted to get into charcoal for a while. Maybe over the summer I'll start up. I'm sure dad will love that. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	harmonica 2008-01-22 09:32 pm UTC (link)
	Ooo! Selling art over the journals. That's brilliant. Why haven't I ever thought of it? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	jamienotmorty 2008-01-22 09:33 pm UTC (link)
	I have no idea. Not as high a need for money and improvement? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	harmonica 2008-01-22 09:38 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, you wouldn't say that if you saw my flat. Actually, it's kind of just a room. With something resembling a couch though I'm not sure if it ever really was one. Hmm. Oh! And a hotplate. Real cozy. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jamienotmorty 2008-01-22 09:41 pm UTC (link)
	Better than mine, which is exactly the same as the place I grew up in. At least yours is your own space, yeah? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	harmonica 2008-01-22 09:56 pm UTC (link)
	Haha! Oh, you have no idea how badly I wish I WAS at my parents right now. They have working heat. And food groups other than canned soup. (Reply to this)(Parent)

Ahaha, never! But it's not about that! I talked to Professor Flitwick and he was all like 'Oh Morti---Jamie! Jamie, I mean, I do recall how much he loathed it when I made that mistake---of course, he'd be splendid!' and he was totally talking about you coming in for a few rehearsals and taking pictures (and maybe like the official shots for the advertising (WE'RE GOING TO BE ADVERTISING)) for Grease and IF YOU WANT HE SAID YOU COULD OWL HIM TO NEGOTIATE PRICES AND STUFF AJDGNSKDJGM YAY ISN'T THAT COOL?

	Oh awesome! I'll definitely be owling him! Thanks! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	EEEEEEE! (Reply to this)(Parent)

	madducks 2008-01-23 03:09 am UTC (link)
	I can try and sell some of your stuff at Flourish and Blotts, if you'd like. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	jamienotmorty 2008-01-23 07:19 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, that'd be nice. Thanks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	madducks 2008-01-23 07:25 pm UTC (link)
	Alright. Just...don't leave anything with Susan when you come in. Or Roger. Or Matthew. As a matter of fact, just send the stuff to my apartment. I'll set up some sort of display...thing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jamienotmorty 2008-01-23 07:29 pm UTC (link)
	~~This is starting to get~~ Okay. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	madducks 2008-01-23 07:42 pm UTC (link)
	Believe me, you'll thank me for being neurotic when your artwork isn't lost or carelessly strewn about the store. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jamienotmorty 2008-01-23 07:47 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, I know. You know, you could put it up with some art book displays maybe. And I did buy some of them, and they helped with making some things, so it wouldn't be false advertising or whatever. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	madducks 2008-01-23 07:51 pm UTC (link)
	You know, that's actually a really good idea. Tell me again why the hell you're not working here? Seriously. These kids are killing me. They don't even know where the art books are. And no, I am NOT being dramatic. They think that the kid's picture books are art books. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jamienotmorty 2008-01-23 08:03 pm UTC (link)
	Because I'm working at the Leaky? People tip there, you know. But then, you could always hire me part time and talk to Mum and Dad about it, saying you need help, etc. if you really need a reprieve from your current employees. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	madducks 2008-01-23 08:09 pm UTC (link)
	Mortimer... I don't think you understand... They think that that kid's picture books...are art books. So yes, I need a reprieve from my current employees. When would you be able to start if I talk to Mum and Dad? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jamienotmorty 2008-01-23 08:15 pm UTC (link)
	~~Must~~ I think tomorrow. Thursdays are slow anyway. And most mornings and most afternoons after lunch and before dinner. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	madducks 2008-01-23 08:19 pm UTC (link)
	Fantastic. (Reply to this)(Parent)
