<p>This week I received an interesting email from someone soliciting my input for an artist&#8217;s website they had created. Here&#8217;s what they wrote:</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;"><span style="color: #3882CA;">Hello Fair Artist who paints beautiful shore lines,</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;"><span style="color: #3882CA;">We have been watching you. We are artist also. At least that&#8217;s what they call us. You may even know us. We&#8217;d like to invite you to become a member of our very Private Club. We&#8217;re very selective and only an elite few are welcome on our hallowed grounds. We pick you.<br />
</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;"><span style="color: #3882CA;">We even have a little &#8216;chit chat&#8217; room just for the likes of you. It&#8217;s rightfully called Dante&#8217;s Pub. But when your enter BEWARE! You are entering the abyss of the artist mind! You may not find your way out.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;"><span style="color: #3882CA;">You&#8217;re welcome to watch from afar while drinking your brew or pull up a chair and join us for a little chat. Be sure and register and then log in. After all, this is a very private club. We don&#8217;t allow just any wanderer in our midst.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;"><span style="color: #3882CA;">Don&#8217;t dilly dally now! It wont cost you a pence. Check out The Artist Challenge and Dante&#8217;s Pub- that is if your daring and think yourself worthy to be amongst the souls we&#8217;ve claimed?</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;"><span style="color: #3882CA;">Farewell&#8230;until we hear from you,<br />
Master Mike and the Pub Wench</span></span></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">I get many arts related email requests on a daily basis but this email caught my attention because of it&#8217;s creativity and originality. The cheerful invitation aroused my curiosity to visit the website and get involved with their proposal. In the current climate, with every man and his dog jumping on board the the social networking bandwagon, dare to be different, dare to be an artist, and your ideas will rise to the top!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">See for yourself their proposal:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">Artist Challenge- <a style="text-decoration: underline; color: #0000FF;" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.theartistchallenge.com/">http://www.theartistchallenge.com/</a><br />
