I really love alternate card arts, and i've been trying to find a place where i could order/request cards to be altered. I'm trying to find a place where i can buy some alternate arts, mainly full-art cards, for a few cards in my deck

There are a few online alter artists, but you'll be paying quite a bit for most of their work. Try finding a local artist, or look around at tournaments.

The fastest, cheapest way of getting them done is to go to your local high school (Unless you live in a college town, in which case, go there), and contact the art teacher to see if they'll allow you to commission some pieces from the students. I used to do that back when I was building my EDH deck. Some of the kids can do surprisingly well, and it never cost me anything to do it.
You can also just look around online for artists that take commissions. They're usually pretty slow to get your cards back to you though...

I know a few artists from my shop that do alters but not sure if they would do shipping or not. The only person who would really ship is http://laithnaser.com/ he does custom playmats and tokens but for commission im sure he would be willing to do alters, you can contact him or facebook https://www.facebook.com/LaithNaser.Art

I haven't found anyone that actually makes a living off of this sort of thing, but there are many people who do it on the side. the biggest problem is (as im sure you have noticed) finding these people. they dot advertise, so it is difficult. I actually alter cards myself (although I have just started and im not that good). there are a few other people inmy area like myself.
