I considered posting in the pay it forward thread but decided this was a little different. I've been stippling PMags and grips for awhile now but I've always lacked much canvas on which to practice my art. I've had paying clients but they more often than not choose basic, functional texture jobs. I'm looking to expand my portfolio of polymer furniture and custom magazine art. Since there are many firearms photographers in this community I figure this is a place that appreciates aesthetic appeal. If you've got a logo, your own brand, or just something you found online that you think would look good on a magazine body, I can make it happen.

I'm willing to trade a little work and time in exchange for added experience and the ability to shoot some photos to supplement my portfolio.

Here's what I'm offering:
Five free texture jobs (One per person unless there is a lack of interest, in which case the earliest responders will receive priority for a second)
These may include polymer stocks, forends, handguards, grips, or magazine bodies. (No A2 grips or rubberized grips)
If you choose a magazine body texture, it must be for a logo or other design. It cannot be one of those pictured below, and no basic grip panel textures on magazines.
You ship it to me, I'll cover shipping back. (To CONUS only, if you ship something to me with a Chinese return address, I'm keeping it.)
This is a free service, if you don't like what you get, there's no refund.

Reply to the thread if you are interested and PM me with what you'd like done. Offer is first come first serve.

Here is some of my work:

Good looking work, but I'm as bad shooting pictures as I am with a Glock.

You need no photography skills to be eligible. I do all my own photography. (Though I'm curious to see what a real photographer might be able to do with my work)

I still have a few texture jobs left unclaimed. If anybody else wants one feel free to jump in!

That's it for the free jobs. If anyone else wants some work done you can either contact me for an estimate. (I'm open to trades too) But, If any of the photographers around here want work done to feature on a build I'd probably be pretty easy to persuade to work pro bono.

I hope all the people that got free texture jobs post pictures of the finished product!
