hey! yeah no problem your guys' artwork is REALLY awesome
but yeah i actually was wondering if you guys might be able to make our band a cooler layout for our myspace?
i know we're not the most popular or well known band anywhere except around our area, plus we're only sophomores in high school, but it would be really sick if you guys could do that!
hey.... yeahh i added you guys from your band page, and i have to get mine done. in a couple of weeks im having a photoshoot and then after that i was planning on getting my page redone and looking for people who could help me with that... what do you guys charge?
