I got the letter below today on flickr.

Has anyone heard of them? and does anyone know if it is legit?

Have you checked out the website? Googled it at all? Googled the artists he mentions? Maybe one of them will have a "contact" link on a website and you can get a reference.

Never heard of them, but the letter appears to be genuine enough. Would it do any harm to follow it up a little and see what they require ? Sooner or later you will smell a rat if they are not legit.

The information holds true so far. Sartoria The Cube Mag

I just send Him a letter back asking what all would be involved. I was just wondering if anyone here had heard of them.
