Art Scams: Hello

"I came across your artworks on internet search"

Uh huh!

Like many artists I often get these emails from people seemingly interested in purchasing my art, BUT the spelling is off, the grammar is off and so is the request on how they'll pay.  Check out the samples on Stop Art Scams.

I got this copyright infringement lawsuit claim email at the Chamberpot Gallery addy. They want you to open the document (contains malicious malware and a virus) that supposedly outlines the case.

Meanwhile in Jafabrit's Studio

it's a disaster zone.

Not much getting done, ripped my latest embroidery, and crocheting small pieces for the snowflake tree.

to our craft bombed, knit graffiti, yarnbombed tree. When the sun hits the sparkles it's magical.

Some of the comments (apart from the "it's beautiful" comments) have been, err, kind of interesting: it looks like a woman tree, it's a victoria secrets tree, it's an underwear tree, it needs a bra.

Maybe I should add a glittery paddle and spank those naughty commentators!
