I just found this email, which was sent to me yesterday, by a "freelance art buyer" in California:

Hi Eric

I saw an image of you? that you took? on google (attached) holding a rubik's cube. do you have it fairly hi res that i might license? Tomorrow is my deadline. If the art director likes the shot, i could pay you a few hundred dollars.

Thanks.
