Hello everyone,

So here's the deal. This guy contacts me out of the blue to sign his card to go with some horrible mug based on one my illustrations. He never asked permission from me, apparently his father saw my design in Tiki Magazine and attempted to make it into a mug. This jordan baker guy calls himself teaKEY on TC and he claims I should feel honored and that it's a tribute. Unfortunately, I don't feel so honored and it's definitely no tribute, I feel ripped off. Had he asked first it would be a different story. Further more, I don't know how many he intends to make not to mention I have plans in the works to do a Tiki Dawg mug of my own. Please tell me, is it cool to jack someones idea and make a product??!!! I'm a big fan of Shag, Derek and Doug Horne, I guess they won't mind if I make a mug based on their art without asking and then ask them to sign a card after the fact, right?? sike

thanks,

Hassan
