this kind of shit seems to happen all the time and i usually dont pay it no mind but as it happens more and more it starts to get me a bit heated. this company proper english straight jacked one of my designs for their current season.
here is the original design that was originally done as a screenprint and later used as a t-shirt for 2K by Ginham.

and here is the Proper English version. whoah, looks a little similar, no?
i guess they tried to change a few things to maybe avoid legal action? or maybe the designer was just lazy. on their website they have contact info so feel free to send them any love letters, etc.

Somehow the tiny changes make it even more bastardly. With any luck, this brand won’t be alive to sell their garbage at Magic 09.
If you have their contact info, i recommend you have your lawyer send a letter, swiftly. This is stealing and it aint right. Artist to artist it’s food outta your mouth. go get em.
That is ridiculous! I agree with GS~, action must be taken… especially since they’re using YOUR design for commercial purposes.
too wack
fuckers. . .
Wow… that’s pretty bold. Seriously, there’s nothing you can do about that?
