"I like Mucha-artsy quite a bit. I'll have to get a better look at Odin-drawn-artsy to decide between the two. No real interest in portraits at this point." Charlie answered, leaning over his cousin's shoulder as she opened the book to look in it.
"It's mostly what you've done and whether I can trust you not to do a crap job on my art that I worry about. Knowing it's clean is my second priority but quite nice that I don't have to bring it up. I'm not germaphobe but I've had my fair share of dealings with stupids." she spoke, looking over the book calmly, her cousin pouring over it over her shoulder.

"Art nouveau is pretty sexy," Odin laughed, watching the two looking at his art, "but this whole place is a good example of Odin-artsy. Painted this all m'self."

Dartsmoore nodded and handed Charlie the book to look over some more. At this point she picked up the Mucha art book that had been returned to the table by her cousin and began to peruse it. Almost instantaneously she found something she liked.
"I think I quite like this one." she said calmly, indicating one of the Autumne pictures in the book, from the four seasons sets.

Odin nodded. "Yeah, I like that set. Now, if that's what you're lookin' for, do you want all the filigree around it, or just the woman, and if you want just the woman, it's up to you if you want it to just end, fade off, or if you want more background drawn out, yenno?"
He held his arm out for her to see. "Like, right here, her veil kind of fades off in the original painting? I decided to end it."

"Mm, I do not think I would get exactly that. I quite like the autumnal theme but this exact piece wouldn't be quite me. I prefer your style, but the level of detail in either is acceptable to me. I might have to have something customized." she commented, nodding.
About that time Charlie remembered something he had heard about. His cousin had a few artist friends - not particularly good ones but a few - who were fond of doing set pieces like they kept seeing in the Mucha book. They often mentioned that one of the most popular set pieces to do was the seven deadly sins.
"Well that might be interesting." he commented idly, remembering what the one he most often was accused of and the way it was usually portrayed.

"I actually very much like doing custom work. I mean, technically, tattooing any art on anyone is copyright infringement, but I guess it's moot when the guy's dead," Odin nodded, "I only really use art books for reference. I don't...I just...i like custom pieces." Conversation over. Period.

"Well, then that's settled. You shall have to draw up some autumnal girl design for me, I guess." she commented, "I'm quite fond of the colors and the season is significant to me. I also rather like fairies if you think you can do anything with that. Sorry if I'm not much help."
"I think I've decided on something as well. I think I'll get a custom design also." Charlie added.

"Hold on hold on hold on," Odin said, hands up, "Gimmee a second." He flipped open a little notepad and scribbled "DARTSMOORE" over the top.
"Okay. Fairies, autumn, oranges, reds...anything else?"

"Nope. You've got about the gist of it." the woman said with another shrug.

"Alright." And he flipped the page, scribbling down 'Charlie' at risk of spelling the guy's full name wrong.
"So. How 'bout you?"

"Think you can do a lust and wrath themed chick? In maybe a crimson outfit?" he asked, rather curious to see what the other man would come up with. While his cousin had been talking to Odin, Charlie had thought more on what sin he was actually the most guilty of and just how that associated with the other.

"Lust and wrath? Definitely," Odin nodded, scribbling, "Whaddya think'a blood, weaponry, nudity...?" Hey, hot straight guy that set off gaydar. Whatever!

"Whatever works for you. I'm not much for design. Though dark and powerful would probably be good." his voice was light, nonchalant as he spoke. "As long as when I see it I can tell what it is, I'm good."

Odin nodded.
"If you guys can come back in, like...two hours? I can show you some sketches. Sound good?"

"Certainly." was the statement from Dartsmoore and she then ushered her cousin out of the shop so they could go get some lunch of their own or something.
~~~
Just as promised, about two hours later the pair returned. Dartie had a half empty bottle of whisky in hand that she was just closing up and Charlie seemed a little more cheerful and curious about what Odin might have gotten done while they were gone.
