The wacky world of craigslist.com never ceases to amaze me. I found this one under art gigs and I have to wonder why in all that is holy would someone request such an odd thing to illustrate. Read on to see waht I mean. Let me know if your gonna persue this, I cant tell if its really valid or just a crazy post. The job is located here in Jax so, might be worth a shot! I also dont know whats weirder…this post on craigslist or that I actually found a pic of a skeleton paper towel holder. Amazing.

It never ceases to amaze me the kind of stuff that pops up on Craigs. Speaking a freelance writer, I am always highly skeptical of people requesting samples. That’s usually a big red flag. If they want to view my online portfolio that’s great but asking someone to create samples from scratch equates to asking for free work and it’s highly frowned upon without a contract of some sort.
Anyway, great find!
Yeah, im just a little suspicious on this one. No email contact either…just there mailing address. I dont know why they couldnt look at an online portfolio or something…hmmmmm…very strange indeed.
Sounds shifty to me, but …. gives me an idea for a themed group show. Household items redefined and reimagined. Show titles? Humm? “No Limit Toster,” the kitchen toaster as gangster weapon? Or, “Splatula,” cooking spatula as paint brush? Hummm?
Any takers for this show?
