Thank you again for letting me use it in Tiki Modern, it really enlivens the A-Frame page! I wish it would have been reproduced bigger, but I did not have enough space. What is so neat about the painting is the fact that, just like graphics done for 50s and 60s TV ads, it is rendered completely in black and white, since it was obviously meant to be reproduced as just that. I bet that is a lost art nowadays, just like lighting for black and white. I really would not worry too much about rights, the market for this is too small. Not that you couldn't make some money of selling prints, but not enough for other folks to bother.
