Coinhero's sketchbook

[Coinhero]

I recently got one of those emails where its a publication looking for artists to pay a fee to get featured in a annual art book. I've heard a bit about these and it's not really a scam from what I know but it's generally not really worth it and they only contact lesser know artists with the promises of getting there work to be seen by art directors and stuff. Whole thing sounds shady to me and I doubt anyone actually buys these books, I'm assuming all the money made is from the participation fees. Talking about capsules books in particular.

If anyone has experience with this stuff I'd love to hear
