Check, cash or money order are acceptable forms of payment when the bill collector comes knocking (or e-mailing), not a picture you doodled of a spider. Especially when the spider is an anatomical abomination with only 7 legs. Let's see what happens when David Thorne tries it anyway. (Thanks for the tip, Mike H.) |

While this was entertaining for me to read, I'm guessing that poor Jane failed to see the humor after the third or fourth e-mail exchange. I'm sure it's hard enough doing her job, and looking like a meanie in the line of duty so often, without someone wasting her time. Very original, though.

Jane is obvioulsy a fool
A picture of a spider like that is worth almost 500 dollars.Some people wouldnt know a good thing if it hit them on the head.

The best way to stall a payment until he got the money ever lol, i mean she must of realised thats what he was trying to do stall until he got the money..

Folk art is very trendy and expensive. If this had been in a museum instead it could quite easily brought $500 or more as stated above. I think the company owes this many at least $750 for the two drawings of the spider before and after regrowing his leg.
Asinine comments about "poor Jane" show just how little others know such as "Jane" and the company losses she incurred by ignoring the value of the drawings!

I bet Jane thoroughly enjoyed that correspondence - and I wish I knew both her and David.
(David, please do a portrait of me next ..)

This is quite possibly the best thing ever.

What David seems to be missing is by sending his spider by email he was only sending a copy of his art, which has little or no value. For it to have any value, he would need to send the original the old fashioned way. That was why Jane was surprised when David asked for the return of his spider. All in all, quite an amusing series of emails.

gary: wait but i think if i'm reading the exchange right, it was JANE who sent DAVID a copy -- see where she says she copied and pasted it? so i think she still has david's original from the first email. which sounds like the theft and wire fraud and probably some other things, too.
david, don't pay. she kept the original!

It is usually considered polite to include the actual address from where you appropriated the original material.

Hey Tabitha, Thanks for the link! The site where we found the article (the via, above) didn't reference the original article. We have added the source link.
Thanks again!

Andrew Robbins - it would have been good if you'd actualy KNEW the difference between the use of NEW and KNEW when trying to correct someones spelling (which is actually correct)
But a good b*llshitter - my hat off to David Thorne

Actually, I guess it's spelled "arachno-capitalist."
