I checked this book out some time ago and enjoyed your work.<br /><br />As for rip offs, I've found my fair share and finally just decided it's hilarious!Ben Hatkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13128090224957401149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861082149398181136.post-92230117078168104472010-02-23T01:31:01.417-08:002010-02-23T01:31:01.417-08:00Thanks for the comments guys.

That was 20 years ago so it must have been a big job.<br />Don't know if he got any work in London after that.<br />PJPJ Lynchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00084522129070266062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861082149398181136.post-19505166445949859752010-02-22T11:34:07.491-08:002010-02-22T11:34:07.491-08:00So important I told you twice as well.

That happened to a friend of mine not too long ago, some online company was trying to sell t-shirts with an image of his on it. ugh. People are stupid... but what can you do.Kendra Meltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01469215910768047034noreply@blogger.com
