Spam or Not? | Subject: Spam or Not? by outlaw2LK on 2005/12/26 20:02:31
Hey folks,
Any of you ever hear from this chick www.nicolettemoore.com??? I received email from her and immediately suspected SPAM and SCAM. Apparently "she/he/it or whatever" has been scouring the Heromorph and Comics2Film sites for our names and whatnot to send the following Email.
Quote:Hi Law, I found you on comics2film.com. I really like your versatility. If I may suggest one thing, USE MODELS or REFERENCE material! You did an awesome job on the lady you painted (but obviously, you had a subject). I'm a freelance illustrator myself and looking back at my early work, I WISH someone would have given me that advice. All of my work was right out of my head and straight to photoshop. It's nice to be 100% creative, but you won't be getting hired for work if you have any piece in your portfolio that is not proportional. You are competing with thousands of talented people, so make sure everything you show the world is absolutely perfect. What your portfolio says to people is >>> "This is what you can expect from me if you hire me."
I am not writing to you to critique you. I actually see your potential and I was curious if you wanted to join my team. I am gathering up to 200 illustrators to combine our resources to create our own publishing company. The material we publish will be related to "beauty, fantasy, and sci-fi" illustration. If we can get this off the ground, I would really be interested in creating an on-line website business that sells downloadable comic books and graphic novels.
This is a business opportunity (an equal partnership). We will be sharing all costs as well as all profits. With up to 200 involved costs and workload will be doable for all. This will not cost more than $500 each and 1 illustration every other month MAX. We will probably only be illustrating 5 designs each for the first year of business, so it will be very light. All artwork remains yours. I understand $500 is still a chunk of change for some, but this will be the best money you ever spent on your illustration career because we will each own an equal share in thousands of books to be sold on proven sites like amazon.com and ebay.
This is a chance to do what you enjoy for a career. Share this email with your family and friends and ask them what they think. While I would not consider myself a successful illustrator in the industry, I do have many on board that are. Let me know if you would like to hear more and I'll add you to my interested list that is now at 134. I will be getting back with everyone on the marketing strategy and everyone you may be working with on this.
Share your thoughts with me,
Nicolette Moore www.nicolettemoore.com
P.S. All your concerns will be met in writing and everything will be done to ensure this is a straight up business.
Any of you receive this as well? What are your thoughts?
