Shouldn't EvilWhiteMale be making something off of this? Maybe he's the one selling it. I don't know. If he's not....well he needs to put a boot to somebody's ass!

I sent them a question asking where they got the picture and they told me "that was another story". They have 2 auctions going for that shirt. Poor EWM. sad He could be making a fortune.

Is it an issue you guys can take up with them also since they took an image from this site?

I doubt there's much I can do. They're already making money off of copywritten material. I guess I could get them shut down by the production company. Maybe I should at least try to get a free T-shirt.

It sucks that these monkeys are totally robbing you, but don't you think it's kind of flattering that they liked your idea enough to put it on a t-shirt? I think that's pretty cool nod , except for the stealing part.

I found the shirt in another part of Ebay and they claim, "WE DESIGN ALL OF OUR IMAGES." So that's a big fucking lie. I'm flattered, but people are profiting from my shit.

Maybe you could contact these people and tell them who you are. They obviously recognize talent, who knows, they might even hire you to make more. If not, tell them you need a free t-shirt....and royalties. biggrin

That's funny, I thought the same thing. I guess we'll see what they say if they respond. It's still pretty surreal to me.

Here is what you do. Contact them. Ask for a free shirt and ask for a percentage of the profit. If they say no. The contact ebay and theyy them the shirt they are selling is not original, nor is it licensed that they did a color print of your art which was made for private use only not meant for legal sale - You must stress that.

evil white male,
Why don't you contact ebay, show your picture that also list the date of the posting and ebay will make them take it down.

It has happened before that ebay will end action early because of issues about proper ownership.
I would definitely contact them.

Good luck!

Under "Seller's payment instructions."

I think these are the same hacks that stole an image from my site and used it on one of their shirts! eek

Looks like they make their career off of stealing other people's work.

Luv & Peace,
