If you ask, they'll give you a copy for your portfolio, which you will either scan or upload and post in Tilted Portraits.

Yup; I did some stuff for a couple of designers and artists in town and also for play advertisements/promo's (Like I was Benjamin on "The Graduate" poster for TNB). I've done some local tv promo stuff, etc. Nothing huge. But MSD has it completely right. Bend to their every whim and if they like what you produce then they'll ask you back for more. I find it's less to do with how good looking you are and more about how well you can wear something. I'm an actor so it's what I do.
Most of all have fun dude. And if they don't ask you back, show a little leg; that's how I get all my parts.
