Personally, I never respond. I think I did respond to my first one. Now, I just figure it's someone else looking for a dollar... GCU allows me to KEEP my dollars, so I'll stay put for now, Thank you.

I file them, but haven't answered any. 'e'

I didn't get the note so I guess he didn't like my work - Grin

- OC California or 'Behind the Orange Curtain' as we like to say in the Fashionable Los Angeles Area - not the most friendly place when it comes to the GLBT community though with the OC being the home of a certain mouse and his kingdom - you'd think that wouldn't be the case Roll Eyes

I'll consider myself fortunate Cool

I'm guessing he went to the Artist list page and selected "# of Cards" and hit up the largest store owners (perhaps only the first 2 pages worth) to see if he got any response.

Seems he is trolling for content providers but until he publishes some details on what he offers in return, plus demonstrates some ability to pay for the work, I'm not much interested. I wish him the best though.

I just got this email myself today, he used the feedback button in my store!

I'm not going to bother responding until I get full details, like his full name, his email address, his contact info and what printing companies he's working for, how much I'll get, and all that..

Looks like it's either spam or a troll looking to steal artworks to pass off as their own.
