~Rules and Guidelines~

1. Please be courteous when requesting and making orders. Rudeness will not be tolerated. In other words, don't annoy me or any of my regulars, or you will not be served, and you will be placed upon the blacklist. We may also happen to come after you with frying pans, shovels, and sporks if we're really annoyed, so tread carefully here...

2. Please be patient when waiting for orders to be finished. I'm not on Gaia constantly, and I have other tasks to accomplish in the world that exists outside of Gaia. I'll try to have the graphics shipped to you as fast as time permits. If you PERSIST about your order, you won't get it and you'll be blacklisted. There have been several occurences in which customers have been a nuisance, sending PMs asking for orders.

3. DO NOT HOTLINK OR DIRECT LINK TO THE IMAGES! If you do, you will be in serious trouble. You are eating up bandwidth, and I will not stand for that. Direct linking, or "hotlinking," is copying the URL of an image and using it for your own use without direct permission from the owner of the image. In doing so, you are using up their bandwidth and using their picture without permission, which is BAD.

4. After your requested image is completed, I will PM you asking for a trade for the amount specified in the PM. The transaction will be completed, and I will send you a link to the image. It is YOUR responsibility to copy the image to YOUR OWN image hosting account, wherever it is. If you do not have one, that is your tough luck, and you will have to make one so you can access your image. I'd like to suggest Photobucket for your imaging needs.

5. You will have one week to pick up your image and copy it to your image hosting account. After one week, the image will be deleted from my account, so don't delay in getting it! Note that if you are on vacation, or simply did not have a chance to pick it up, please PM me so I upload it again.

6. Don't advertise your shop, lotto, or anything that needs advertising in mine. If the link is in your sig, that's fine, but don't point it out, and don't post the link or an image of your shop, etc, in your post. If you would like to be an affiliate, please PM me and I will consider your offer openly. You will be blacklisted if you advertise in my shop.

7. DO NOT STEAL THE ART. Simple enough rule to follow. I will report you when I find out what you've done, so be wary of the consequences of your actions...

8. Bumps are highly appreciated! Please, feel free to bump here, as well as carry on conversations if you like. If you do happen to hold a conversation, keep it PG-13, and don't cuss incessantly...or my pitchfork shall smite you. domokun

9. NO SPAMMING. This means stretching pages, typing bump five million times in your post, and the like.

10. DO NOT QUOTE the posts listed on the first page. It's unnecessary and annoying.

11. There is no cyber beer, nor ninja beer here. There IS alcoholic floorwax, but that's another story entirely...^_^;

12. I don't hire, so please don't ask. (It makes me sad to turn you down when you're so eager to work!) But if you'd like some insight on how to start your own graphics shop and get it off the ground, I would be happy to give you some advice. wink

~News~

Thursday, June 26th, 2008 - Finally free from the confines of high school, I'll be here all summer to take orders until I a) go on vacation, and b) go to orientation for college. Huzzah! The shop's getting a revamp in the coming week or so, too...

December 24th, 2007 - After nearly a year of being defunct, Ye Olden Graphics Shoppeh is back in action, under swedishsk8ter's sole command. O:

Monday, January 22nd - The Shoppeh's two years old today! We are invincible! xD

December 27th - Ichigo's on temp hiatus until Saturday. Sorreh! gonk

December 23rd - Happy almost Christmas for those that celebrate it. After several months of hiatus, we're back for the holiday season!

June 19th - The shopkeepers are out of school, and that means double the summer fun and our grand re-opening! Swing on by and start placing orders again, folks.

Note that swedishsk8ter will be gone from June 24th through July 1st, so your PMs will not be answered right away. Thanks. <3

~Ichigo's Post of Randimosity and Such~



Heylo, folks. My screename may be swedishsk8ter, but you can call me Ichigo. It's easier than having to type my whole username out. As the name implies, I'm a skater...a FIGURE skater. No skateboards for me. I am Swedish, but I'm an American. I enjoy being who I am...that is, a raving lunatic with a penchant for creating art, reading, and causing havoc within her own Shoppeh. Yes, yes...I am insane. But I'm sure you've already gathered that by now, no? Well, enjoy my post filled with lurvely artses and other random things that I've collected and created. I'd love to showcase them all, but alas, my bandwith would explode, and the Shoppeh page would never finish loading. sweatdrop

I really am an avid fan of all mediums of art. It's such a fantastic way to express yourself. I love to paint with watercolors and acrylics. I like to draw, too, though my style seems to constantly change on me.

As a senior applying to colleges this year, I've decided to pursue art as my major. :O

I luuurrvvee getting avatar art. If you ever want to trade avatar art for graphics instead of gold, I think it could be arranged. Freebies are also loved. *coughcough* ;D

If you'd like to see what I do besides make graphics, you should check out my DA page: LeSwedishFish

I love getting comments on my work that I post up there. I've got lots of photography, as well as some drawings and paintings that I've done. You won't be disappointed if you click ze link. It's been a bit quiet on my DA account recently, but I hope to start uploading again soon. ;D
