Considering it was just created, an affiliation request would be declined, sorry. As for gfx'ers, we have trouble having people do our own stuff, it's not like they are our employees so we can lend them to you. If you can get them to do something for you, no one stops you from trying, but there is no way for us to help you with that, try asking personally (pm, chat, etc.) the gfx'er.
