    has anyone else had people callin up to their houses tryin to sell u drawings? ive had two peeps in the past month or so, both from poland tellin me that they are tryin to sell their drawings to make money for college. this could be true but i really didnt believe them... :confused:

    i wouldnt mind but today the drawings the girl showed me were the same as the drawings that the other fella sold. sooooo either they are in the same drawing class OR they are sellin...fakes!!! for like 15euro pft :eek:

    Just got a call 10 mins ago coincidentally. Very hot Polish girl, with the same drawings that some bloke before her had and another girl before him had.

    I think there was a Joe Duffy show about this whole thing. Not so sure about the whole Oliver/Fagan style racket they were making it out to be on the radio.

    Yeah, a guy called to my door, introducing himself as Robert, and trying to sell me some of his work. I just politely declined, but had it been a hot Polish girl, I must admit I might have given her 30 seconds' more time. Yes I am that shallow!

    I've had a few, mostly Hungarians all claiming it to be their work. I've never even looked at the pictures though because I'm always busy doing something when they call!

    Im tempted to buy one of the drawings so that when another one of them calls up, i can just show them that i bought one of their drawings already! hee hee :D

    The sentimental slush that they are selling is actually prints if you look closely, tho they will tell you they are art students and its their own work.
