			<description><![CDATA[So I got an email from someone who found a RIP-OFF of my design Lil' Soap being sold at HOT TOPIC's website:<br />
<br />
http://www.hottopic.com/hottopic/store/product.jsp?FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302028385&amp;PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524442172215&amp;bmUID=1203491138193<br />
   <br />
&quot;<img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2322/2279950160_05589af6f6.jpg?v=0" /><br />
<br />
It was designed by &quot;Newbreed girl&quot; who seem to have an under construction website.  <br />
<br />
I've sent them a cease and desist email, and one to Hot Topic as well. <br />
<br />
NewBreed girl's president responded to say that is was unfortunate but probably the cause of hiring freelancers to do t-shirts for them, which was the same response Todd Goldman gave about his stolen designs, coincidentally he also pirated this design of mine for some paintings around the time of the Shmorky controversy.<br />
<br />
(as seen here:http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2201/2279191355_b0a269568e.jpg?v=0)<br />
<br />
<br />
I've still not heard back from Hot Topic about this, and the design has NOT been removed from their website.<br />
<br />
If anyone wants to help get this talked about post this banner where ever you can think! <br />
<br />
&quot;<img src="http://pics.livejournal.com/carrie2004/pic/003a7461" /><br />
<br />
Personally it's really upsetting to me to have this design so blatantly stolen. <br />
The pose of the soap, the pink colors used, the text on the tummy, even the fingers and feet are done in an extremely similar fashion.<br />
<br />
A big company like Hot Topic cannot get away with stealing designs from smaller ones and the even smaller designer.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[Most of you have probably seen this already but here's a bunch of shirts ripped off by Todd Goldman's shirt company David and Goliath tees. <br />
<br />
<img src="http://jessfink.com/junk/FUCK2.jpg" /><br />
 <br />
My cookie loves milk shirt is also included in the bunch. <br />
I also have proof positive that he's sold a couple paintings featuring a little soap saying &quot;Wash your butt!&quot; <br />
<br />
Please help me get the word out. It's not alright to steal from artists, in fact it's fucking illegal especially if he's making money off of us.<br />
I haven't decided what I'm doing yet but odds are this won't be pretty.]]></description>

<br />
I get the distinct feeling after talking to a number of people that noone realised this wasn't just a picture of a hairy man, there is a face in the middle of all that hair. <br />
<br />
HE is Mr. Muttonchop, not the dude on the bottom.<br />
<br />
Anyway, Boners,<br />
