My name is Ryan Markey, and I am an artist who draws sketches of animals. If you'd like me to draw a picture of your ferret, please e-mail me at [log in to unmask], and I will send you all the information you will need to have the picture done. All I need from you is a picture of your ferret, along with a check or money order which covers the picture and shipping and handling charges. My prices are: $10.00 for a black and white picture of head only ($15.00 for it to be colored). $20.00 for a fully-body sketch ($25.00 for it to be colored). I sketch in pen, ink, and colored pencils. To have the picture come to you in a frame is an additional $10.00. Shipping and handling without frame is $2.00 in the United States, $4.00 with the frame. Only United States currency is accepted, however I am willing to ship internationally, provided you can pay with American currency. Interested consumers from outside of the U.S., please e-mail me for shipping and handling details. Thanks alot! [Moderator's note: I've been letting a lot of ads through lately, both one-time only announcements such as this one and auction notices, which are a bit more plentiful but which I decided to allow, for now, if they support a shelter. I've been lenient about ads since we haven't had an advertising issue for a LONG time. But.... This really points the need for another advertising issue -- but I got so overwhelmed with the last one (that I never did put out!) that I hesitated to call for another. But it is time. I will edit them as they come in so I won't be as overwhelmed by them. I'll make an official announcement in the coming few days (lots of people are away now) and put out the ad issue 2 or so weeks after that. Please hold your ads until I ask for them in a few days. Thanks! BIG] [Posted in FML issue 3030]
