Thanks my brother.
I am so sorry I didn't have this masterpiece finished before you arrived.

I had so many distractions.

Right now my lawyer is trying to prep me for a 7 hour deposition that the high powered Lawyers from Cafe Press are flying all the way here to try and make me break down and say that "Forbidden Island" was not my art (?), and I guess, just use scare tactics to get me to back down and drop the case against Cafe Press for taking my art with out my knowledge or permission and selling it on line.

From what I hear, this is their usual tact. Big scary law firm against the small time artist.

This has really screwed up my art production, my bank account, and I would love to just wish it all away. And you know what , if when this started if someone from Cafe Press actually contacted me personally, apologized to me, said how sorry they were, what can we do to fix this. You know what, I'm a push over for the kind, honest touch and I totally would have worked it out with out lawyers. But Cafe Press doesn't seem to be kind or honest. No personal touch at all. They don't seem to care about the Artist's they are ripping off.

Only Lawyers get their attention. Then they in return, sick their gigantic bloodless LA law firm on you till you break or break down. This is so sick and twisted. They have taken the "Information super-highway " and made it into the "Plagiarism super-highway" and are make big time dead presidents off it.

I can't back down. For the fact that they are eroding pop-culture by emotional damaging small time artists. They'd also, I hear, use me as an example to scare the next artist they rip off. They are destroying everything I love. Someone has to stand up to this monster.
