*o-PixelPixie-o:icono-PixelPixie-o: reports, August 27
This is a link to a site devoted to getting out awareness of a disorder called Infantile Spasms. There is as of yet no cure for this disorder, and the treatment for it (anti-epileptic medicines) can have serious side-effects. Symptoms generally start to appear between 3-6 months and stop by age 5-6. Though I.S. resolves itself, many children who develop it will develop other types of seizures which may last their entire life.

This father, blogging about his child and his own attempts to cope with and raise awareness of this disorder really touched me, and I simply thought I'd share it. If you think you have a good forum for spreading this awareness even further, I encourage you to do so.

Email Scam targetting Artists

*PhoenixLament:iconPhoenixLament: reports, September 17, 2007
ALL ARTISTS PLEASE READ.

I received an email from a prospective buyer of my artwork. The email reads as follows:

"Hope this message finds you well ,I came across your web page while searching for good artworks and I will like to buy some of these creative artworks directly from you which i think will be perfect for my walls"

It then lists the specific artwork of interest & then goes on:

"I will be happy to have these selected artworks in our new home.What are their prices exclusive of shipping cost? We are travelling from our Alabama home to our new apartment in London, I will appreciate an earlier reply. Thanks.

Best Regards"


Upon receiving a response from the artist the interested party replies:

"Thanks so much for your response to my query about those creatives works...

I am presently away in London for my twin sister's wedding even though it comes at a time when i was preparing for a big move and also expecting a baby but it means so much to her. I should back in some few days.

Yes,i will like to proceed with the purchase of the all the persent avalible artworks .

I think they are lovely works that will add alot of colours to our new wall.

Meanwhile,i will like you to forward your mailing address and phone number so i can inform my husband to send you payment by a cashier check asap for the payment for those creative artworks

And also I can also forward your contact info to the local cartage

company that will be moving all our house decors so they can get in touch with you to arrange shipping details. They can arrange pick up FedEx pick up of the artworks from your gallery.

I will look forward to hearing from you so i can know how best to proceed. Cheers."


A friend of mine received WORD FOR WORD the same email, but from a different sender & email address.

Beware of this scam. The goal here is that a "cartage company" will appear to pick up the paintings without payment being rendered.

Anything that stipulates cashier's check makes my skin crawl, and I usually write them back and say, "Only Cash or PayPal will be accepted."

Although with a DeviantArt account... just give them the listing of your print gallery and tell them to buy the art directly from DA. :)
If they don't, then it was likely a scam... ;p
