Novvember 16, David Larsen writes: Scam Alert. I was just emailed by a man wanting to buy one of my canvas prints. He saw it on my "featured" page at AzArtAlliance site. After two emails back and forth, his third email announced he was going to have to send me an "overdraft," so I could pay his shipper, who would then pick up my work. Guess there are some people out there that still fall for this scam.

November 7, 2011 From David Larsen: "Congratulations to Deborah Lee for the feature article on her in the AAA, Arizona Arts Alliance November newsletter! "
