I’m happy to post all of my pictures on the internet, knowing that some will be stolen. I can’t worry about what I don’t know about or can’t control. I refuse to become paranoid and only post tiny watermarked images. I don’t care if you use thirty of my pictures in a collage. I actually think it might make me happy to see the results. What you should NOT do is steal the images for a commercial project. My images can be purchased for very reasonable prices, and it would make sense to spend a small amount up front. I am being sued for every penny I don’t have in a divorce, and I will litigate to protect my work…I’m bringing this up because this image has been made into T-shirts in the past and is an example of one of my most commercially viable pictures…

  1. i should have viewed this image before my email. But i don’t think it would alter anything.

    Personally i think the previous image, Preppies is T shirt gold. i would happily wear a T with Preppies, cropped to exclude the boy extreme left and maybe even Photoshopped to pop out and accentuate the ‘speculating boy upfront from his followers. It would be very retro/nostalgia for a certain commercial outfitter’s. My misfiring memory has lost the old school designer’s name but surely he ‘invented’ or re-invented that casual preppie look back before i was born.
