A neighborhood art and craft market has opened in the Mt. Pleasant Marketplace at the corner of Mt Pleasant and Centerville Turnpike in Chesapeake. We're currently looking for crafter's who would like to sell their items in a brick-and-mortar store. We have an awesome location for foot traffic; right between Navy Federal and Farm Fresh.

Are you a stay-at-home mom that creates wonderful crafts but then don't have any idea what to do with them?

How about a part-time crafter or a retiree that would simply like to try and make a bit of extra money?

Tired of weekends setting up your crafts and then sitting around waiting for customers? Don't bother anymore. You can set up your display one time and then leave it. We'll take it from there. We'll do the advertising and we'll deal with the customers.

If you happen to live out of the area, you can send us your items and we'll set them up for you and then send you your sales.

Contact us at: CheekyscraftersFaire@yahoo.com to reserve your space.

2008-10-14T12:09:18-04:00

Hello,

I am developing a vision for a Christian record label and I am looking for some people to build some beneficial relationships with.

My main goal is to find one Christian artists that I can work with and develop but I'll also need songwriters to help fill up an album when we tackle that project.

I have an in house producer that will be providing some tracks but if you make beats that's cool too.

Basically, I want to initiate a new movement in the realm of Christian art and I can't do it by myself.

If you're interested please reply to this posting and we'll go from there.

Thank you.

HELP A STARVING ARTIST!! COMMISSION ME PLZ!! (Suffolk)

2008-10-09T16:48:04-04:00

Hiya! My name is Brittany, and I absolutely LOOOVE drawing, especially anything related to Japanese cartoons.

Because the job I have is not providing the money I need for rent, gas, etc (I am an ODU freshman), so I was hoping to use my talent towards that respect.

I prefer original ideas, but popular characters are fine.

My mediums are pencil, ink, European marker, and minor touch-ups on Photoshop. If you have any questions, I can give you a link to my online gallery.

I specialize in fantasy creatures, folklore, people crossed with animals, couples, and intense emotion, such as death, anger, sorrow, peace, joy, etc.

PRICES

~3" x 5" and 4" x 6"
Sketch: $5.00
Inked: $6.00
Colored: $8.00

~8" x 11"
Sketch: $10.00
Inked: $15.00
Colored: $20.00

~~These rates apply to one-character drawings ONLY.~~

~~Additional characters are $1.00 each.~~

**PROCEDURE**

1. You tag me for a commission. Please include your name, age, gender, and preferred size (card or paper) and medium (sketch, ink, color).

2. I respond.

3. You give me the details and a picture (if possible) of the character you want, along with the pose.

4. I formally accept the commission and give you a date for the sketch.

5. I post the sketch (I will give you the site), and you make any necessary changes.

6. If you approve, you send me the money, and I send you the product (you are basically paying me to finish the drawing). At this point, we will exchange full addresses.

**NOTE: You will NOT receive the drawing until I receive the payment!**

I believe my prices are very reasonable, so please support my efforts!!

HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU SOON!

Response to the guy who wants to learn silk screening

2008-10-08T23:55:40-04:00

I was unable to respond via email to his request for info.

Do a search on You Tube. I've seen one video on silk
screening and I know that there are more. Google
search for more information.

Also there are Silk Screen business magazines. In
those magazines are advertisements of video courses
for all phases of silk screening. They are expensive
but no more expensive than college courses -- and they
are probably better. The manufactures of T-shirt
presses often have lessons on how to use their
equipment.

I learned everything I knew about sign painting from
hanging out at the sign supply place. (and buying
their sign magazines on display) Because they had
stuff to sell, they were always helpful to answer my
dumb questions. Find a place that sells silk screen
supplies to businesses (not hobbists). Unless you
have a business license they won't want to sell
supplies to you, but surely they would sell those
magazines -- or maybe you have a friend with a
business license (any business will do) Also look for
these types of stores on-line.

I had a sign business for 11 or 12 years. Did OK too.
Now I'm working at a t-shirt silk screen shop as a
graphic artist. (I don't know how to silk screen much)
This outfit has been known to hire unexperienced
people off the street to work. People have learned on
the job here. Not now, however. This economic crunch
has the boss laying people off right and left. Hard
times.

Kids Murals for nursery and childrens playroom

2008-10-06T16:27:21-04:00

Using my hands to create has always been a gift of mine. Until recently, I had kept my artistic expressions to small pieces using pencil, watercolor, and acrylic. Well, things change when you have children. You now have an entire room to use as a canvas, and when the word gets out to your friends with children that you can paint, requests for murals start pouring in.
I love giving a client some say in what colors are to be used and how a layout should appear. However, there have been some clients that prefer not to be a part of the process, and that is fine as well, all the more surprise for them in the end. Childrens murals are what I have done, but I am always looking for an opportunity to try other styles.
I charge by the size and complexity of the mural requested, and if any extenuous travel is required I ask for compensation of those costs. Below are some examples of murals I have done, and the total cost (labor + material) for
them:

Playroom-350$ (2.5 walls)
http://playroommural.shutterfly.com/action/

Nursery-$250 (3 walls)

If you have any questions or want to schedule a consult, feel free to email me or call me at 757-332-0513, my name is David. I am a full time student so if I dont answer I am probably in class, but feel free to leave a message and tell me a bit about what you are looking for.

tattoo?? (VB)

2008-09-26T20:53:19-04:00

Hey guys,

I'm thinking about getting a tattoo with the following scripture in it. I love the verse, so I know it's what I want... but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to arrange it. or if i want any little decoration with it.

the verse is 1 thessalonians 5:16-18 "Be joyful always, pray without ceasing, and give thanks in all circumstances for it is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."

also, I don't know where i want to get it..
if anyone has any ideas or designs i would REALLY appreciate it!

*** and if you have any tattoo parlor recommendations, that would be awesome too!

I am in the process of starting a new website/blog where if you decide to join, I would get you an account on the site and this would allow you to post up your newest work, blog about whatever is on your mind, promote upcoming shows, whatever you want. We could also do audio podcasts (video too maybe, I have to check). A link to your personal site would be added to the site as well. This could give artists a central place to blog, have discussions, etc. and give the public a site to see multiple artists from the 7 Cities. I am also creating a Flickr group that you could join as well. Email me and once everything is up and running I will send you your login name and password and you could start posting away!

Complete Set of Frame Corners for gallery-wrapped canvas! (Virginia Beach)

2008-09-23T20:45:11-04:00

Continuing to liquidate my supplies.

I have the complete set of frame corners from Graphik Dimensions (www.pictureframes.com). Each set of sample corners cost $25 for a total of $100.

These are for 3/4" deep and 1-1/2" deep gallery-wrapped canvases. The canvas will "float" in the middle of the frame (see my example), allowing viewers to still see the painted sides of your work! Variety of black and walnut wooden frames, or black & metallic-colored metal frames. Some with gold or silver trim.

These are really handy if, like me, you work exclusively with gallery-wrapped canvases, but sometimes want a more polished look.

Asking only $25.00 for the set!

Drawn Portraits: $50 (Chesapeake)

2008-09-21T11:04:03-04:00

Hi, my name is Levi. I'm an artist of various mediums. I've begun to focus on portraiture. It's something I've done for a long time, but never for money. Now I've decided to give it a shot.

I'm charging $50 to for portrait drawings. Don't pay me unless you are satisfied with the drawing. I'm just getting started with this venture, so I don't have any drawings to showcase at this time. You'll just have to wait and see if you like it. If you don't, no problem; I get the enjoyment of drawing a portrait, and you get to keep your money. Everyone wins.

This could work one of three ways: You could meet with me and have me take your picture, one that you want to me to use. Then I'll draw it at home, and contact you when it's done.

Or you could email me a picture that you already have, and I could draw that.

The third option would cost seventy dollars, and a few hours of your time. You could come to my place and sit for a live drawing.

These are quality drawings in graphite and colored pencil on light-weight paper. They are mostly black and white, with a little flair of color, if you like that. For example, I could draw a man's face and upper torso all in black and white, and make his tie red. The little bit of color brings out the rest of it in an appealing way.

Once I draw you, I'll ask you if I can use a copy of the drawing for advertisement purposes. This isn't a legality, it's just that I don't want to put your face out there for strangers to see if you wouldn't be comfortable with that.

Hope to hear from you. I love drawing. And I'd love to do it for you.

Email me and I'll call you back.

MC7C Dot Com
MC7C Myspace

MC7C, established in the summer of 2006,is a non-profit (no monies made), grass-roots project started by the lack of communication between artists / promoters / venues / fans.

In the spirit of Ver Sacrum and the Association of Austrian Artists from the early 1800's, our goals are similar:
To promote artistic interests, especially the raising of artistic sensitivity in Virginia
Aim to achieve this by uniting local artists both in Virginia and abroad
By seeking fruitful contacts with leading artists
Promoting local art at exhibitions locally
Making use of the most significant artistic achievements of the SEVEN cities both to stimulate art in our own area and to educate the local public with regard to the general development of art.

With over 50 local artists and bands under our belt, we are at the forefront of the local scene movement. Please check out our website for links to our interviews, a local calendar for events, friends, fans, photos, reviews, and our Myspace page.

If you'd like to be featured or know an artist we should feature, send us a line on myspace or reply to this message. Make sure to have a online portfolio (photobucket or otherwise) ready for us to view.

Thanks for your support!

Call for Erotica Artists

2008-09-15T13:24:20-04:00
Are you an experienced artist working in the erotica genre?
We are Unseen (http://unseen.tv), a technology startup based
in San Francisco and we want you to join our rapidly growing
international community of free spirits.

What we offer:

1. A state of the art Web site where your work gets immediate
exposure to oodles of fans and potential paying customers.

2. A simple to understand, transparent profit sharing model which
offers you two way to make money: by selling physical works of art
or by creating premium photo/video galleries. We are artist-centric
and aim to make money with you, not off you.

3. All services are unconditionally free to you and always will be.
Once monetization features are launched in the near future, we will
be taking a small cut of what you make. But we will never charge you
for just being on Unseen.

We take particular pride in being completely inclusive of all artistic
media, race or sexual orientation of the content.

Feel free to reply to this ad with any questions.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
More Info
--------------------------------------------------------------------

1. What is Unseen.TV

Unseen.TV is an Internet marketplace for the grassroots erotica content. There are already many sites on the Internet that exhibit high quality erotica artwork. There are even more sites that earn oodles of cash off mediocre erotica also known as porn. We have built Unseen.TV because we think that there is a place for a site that does both: feature quality work and let its members profit from their talent.

We do not produce any content. Rather, we provide a state-of-the-art Web pltform for the individual artists to post, exhibit and sell their own content. Everything you post on the site remains your intellectual property and responsibility. We are not in any way affiliated with the porn industry.

2. How it will Work

Once Unseen.TV is past its infancy, there will be two ways for artists to earn money:

* By creating premium photo/video galleries.
* By selling physical works of art: digital prints, paintings, drawings, sculpture, etc.

2.1 Premium Galleries

The other way for you to make money with Unseen.TV is to create Premium galleries. Although at the moment we only free galleries, eventually you will have a choice to publish your images in either of two sections: Free and Premium. The Free Section will let you publish your images for free and your viewers can also view it for free. The Premium Section can only be viewed by paying subscribers. At lest half of what we will collect from paying subscribers will be paid back to the Premium content providers in the form of monthly profit sharing payment. The amount of this payment will be determined automatically as directly proportional to the number of times your gallery has been viewed in that month

It will be up to you what section to put your material in. We recommend that only the best quality and most popular images be put in the Premium Section.

2.2 Physical Artwork

We're very happy to be home to all art media: painting, drawing, prints, sculpture and photography. We are actively working on giving you the ability to sell your physical artwork. Once this feature is launched in the near future, you will be able to indicate which of the images in your galleries are available for purchase as either photographic prints or original art. We will handle all the payment details for you.

If you sell original art, you will be responsible for the shipment of your art. You will have full discretion over the price of your artwork. We will send you the payment after a short waiting period during which your customers will be entitled to a no-questions-asked return.

If you sell photographic prints, you will have a choice of doing your own printing or letting us do it for you. If you opt for making your own prints, your artwork will be treated exactly the same as the original artwork in the previous paragraph. If you wish to let us do the printing for you, you will be responsible for providing us with a high-resolution digital image file for the peaces you offer for sale. You will still be able to set your own price for the prints, however we will withhold a fixed amount to cover the printing costs.

Stay tuned for more news about the details of the physical artwork sales program.

3. How it Works For Now

Unseen.TV has only been launch in February of 2008. While there's already a great amount of quality content on the site, we believe that before we can introduce the Premium section and ask people for subscriptions, we must develop a more substantial body of quality content. This is where we count on your help. The sooner you upload your content the sooner we will be able to launch the Premium section, the sooner you'll get your first pay-check.

At this time we're working primarily with experienced photographers who will form the core of the Unseen community and set the tone for the level of content quality. Once there's enough to launch the Premium section, we'll automatically convert the top performing galleries to Premium at no cost to you. You will be notified via email to update your profile with the banking information so we're able to issue a payment.

4. Why Sign-up and How

Although you will be able to view the galleries in the Free Section anonymously, the following benefits are only available to registered users:

* Ability to create your own galleries.
* Ability to contact artists.
* Ability to add tags and comments to any one's galleries.
* Ability to adjust any one's gallery's metadata, such as its Hardness Rating or Orientation.

The sign-up is free and takes only a few minutes. Follow the Sign-up link at the top of most pages. The information you provide is absolutely confidential. We do not sell or share any personal information with anyone, except as required by law. (Complete Privacy Statement.)

5. Searching and Tagging

Unseen.TV uses a powerful extension of the popular open tagging search scheme, called Weighted Tagging�. To review, in the traditional tagging scheme key words (called "tags") are associated with a particular gallery for the purposes of searching. For instance, if tags "bubble_bath" and "wet" are associated with a particular gallery, whenever a user searches on these tags, the gallery will be included in the search results (hit list).

In the weighted tagging scheme, pioneered by Unseen.TV, each tag associated with a particular gallery also has a weight that indicates the relative strength of the association. For instance the tag "high-heels" may be more relevant for A gallery than gallery B. In this case, the tag "high-heels" will have greater weight with respect to gallery A, than gallery B. Consequently, when someone searches on high-heels, gallery A will appear closer to the top of the hit list than gallery B.

A key point to understand about weighted tags is that weights are maintained by the server automatically. We use a sophisticated proprietary algorithm that tracks usage patterns and constantly adjusts tags' weights to reflect actual user experience. These algorithms take into consideration every search and a user's subsequent actions, such as which of the galleries on the hit list user actually looks at and how many images were clicked. For instance, assume you search on the tags "goth" and "librarian". After examining the search results, you will likely click on some of the galleries, but not others. Of those galleries that you click on, some you will not look any further, while others you will look at the gallery images. All these galleries that you will touch will be re-weighted to reflect the fact that the tags "goth" and "librarian" have more relevance to them than to other galleries.

An individual user's usage pattern will lead to a very small change in the tag weighting. But statistically compounded over many users, tags' weights will be a fair, efficient and self-maintaining mechanism for more precise searches than anywhere else on the Internet.

6. How We Determine Popularity

Just like all other types of metadata, the View Rank (popularity) is determined by the server automatically. The Unseen.TV server continually monitors the actual usage patterns and adjusts each gallery's View Rank based on how many people have looked at any of its images. This method is far superior to the typical rating system because we recalculate each gallery's View Rank every time someone clicks on one of its images. We compute the View Rank by dividing the number of times this gallery has been viewed in the last 30 days by the number of times the most popular gallery has been viewed in the same period of time.

Note that the Unseen.TV also features sophisticated fraud detection algorithms that will discount programmatic racking up of image clicks.

7. Content Orientation

We think of all erotic content as fundamentally either "Straight", "Gay" or "Bi". Admittedly, we also think that sometimes these designations can be vague, irrelevant, or even misleading. So, to make things less arbitrary we allow any gallery be associated with one, two or all three of these categories. Each gallery is rated as a weighted combination of the three orientation categories. We call this multi-category association the Orientation Histogram.

The important thing to remember is that, just like with many other types of metadata, we let viewers adjust a gallery's orientation rating. For instance, if the creator of a gallery chose a strictly "Straight" designation, then the initial histogram will be 100% Straight, 0% Bi and 0% Gay. Consequently, the gallery will only appear in searches by visitors whose orientation preference is also "Straight". (The current Orientation Histogram is displayed on the View Gallery Page.) However, if a viewer disagrees with this histogram, he may also associate this gallery with the "Bi" or "Gay" categories, so that the gallery will also appear in searches for those designations.

Note that we treat the original designation given by the gallery owner as far more relevant that the subsequent revisions by viewers. However, if enough people think that the original designation was incorrect, they will eventually overpower the gallery's original designation.

8. Hardness Rating

We think that the very term "erotic content" may mean very different things to different people. We also think that it's not our place to arbitrate between the varied tastes of the Unseen.TV community. Rather, we think that we are here to help everyone find what they are looking for. And one of the way we do that is by asking every gallery owner to rate his gallery for "hardness" on the scale of 1 to 10, where 1 means the softest and 10 -- the hardest kind of erotica you can imagine.

Note that just like with other kinds of metadata, we let viewers of the gallery adjust its hardness rating. For instance, if the creator of the gallery chose a rating of 5, then initially it will only appear in searches by visitors whose hardness range preference includes 5. However, if a viewer thinks that this gallery is really an 8, he may use the Adjust link to place his vote. We treat the original designation given by the gallery owner as far more relevant that the subsequent revisions by viewers. However, if enough viewers think that the original designation was incorrect and adjust it, the gallery's rating will eventually be properly adjusted.

9. How to Flag Inappropriate Content

The most common reasons for flagging is child pornography and copyright infringement, though you may flag any gallery if you think it violates Unseen.TV's Terms Of Use. To flag a gallery, follow the "flag" link at the bottom right of the View Gallery Page.

10. Social Networking

There is a number of social networking features on the Unseen.TV site and more are added as we develop.

* Comments. If you are a registered user, you can add comments to any gallery, unless its creator turned off that ability for a particular gallery.
* Private messaging. If you are a registered user, you can send a private message to the creator of a gallery, unless he or she turned off that feature.

11. How to Resign Unseen.TV

To resign your Unseen.TV account, follow the Account link at the top right, and then click on Close My Account. When you close your Unseen.TV account, we will immediately remove all your content from the server. However, we may keep some of your personal information for a period of a few weeks for marketing purposes.

12. Upcoming Features

We are constantly working on bringing you new features. Here's some that you should expect in the near future.
12.2. Physical Art Sales

We're very happy to be home to all art media: painting, drawing, prints, sculpture and photography. We are actively working on giving you the ability to sell your physical artwork. Once this feature is launched in the near future, you will be able to indicate which of the images in your galleries are available for purchase as either photographic prints or original art. We will handle all the payment details for you.

12.2. Premium Section

Although currently all content is free to publish and see, we are planning to introduce the Premium Section. There will be a small fee to publish your content in the Premium Section. However, if you sign-up and upload your content any time before the Premium Section is introduced, we will wave this fee for you for as long as you remain a member of Unseen.TV.

Here's how it will work. On the day when the Premium Section is introduced, we will automatically convert some or all of your galleries to premium. We will do our best so select only the best content for the Premium Section, but if you disagree with our selection you will be able, free of charge, change any gallery's designation from Free to Premium and vice versa at any time. Furthermore, this will be true even for the galleries you create after the introduction of the Premium Section.

12.3. Video

We are actively working on bringing you the ability to upload and watch video clips. They will work the same way as photographic images work today: you will have the choice to place your content into either the Premium or the Free section.
