This entire conversation is hilarious. It is good to see $25 is grounds for legal action these days.

Hello Martin’s Attorney, thanks very much for commenting.

I have taken your suggestion and have re-thunk my initial response to Martin. I have decided that I will not go back in time to change it.

Please say hi to Martin for me and let him know that since he has come into enough money to hire you to comment on my blog, his quote has increased to $35. (today only)

[PS: Add $50 for the autograph, and $25 for the meeting with the Pope.]

I’m concerned about your original response to Martin. What does he get for his $25.00? A license to use your copyrighted work? An autograph? An audience with the Pope? Your initial reply was curt, unprofessional, and ambiguous and perhaps you should rethink it.

Fitz-
Errrr, hope you weren’t offended. You had to hear my friend tell the story.
Today I read an article in the New York Times about how much some art sold for at Sotherbys. Of course, it wasn’t the artists pulling in the big bucks!
Thanks for looking at my sites & your kind words.
As for Etsy, I haven’t given it much of a chance so far. I need to add listings on a regular basis to help generate more interest which I plan to do after the show I’m doing this weekend.
BTW – I found your blog while googling for penguin images and one of your posts came up. I like to look at all kinds of images of a subject and then do my own thing.
I just looked at a few posts, but this is a fun blog & I bookmarked you.

John, well said my friend. Although not knowing proper English isn't a crime, moronic behavior sometimes can be. ;) Regina, that's pretty funny... in a sad way. I've never been directly compared to a prostitute before but I do think I can sometimes empathize with their, um, er.. position. BTW, your jewelry designs are very impressive! How do you like Etsy?

Hey, Martin,
Are you hoping to be taken seriously?! The only thing childish going on here is your inabilty to write proper English! We’re not addressing your copyright violation, pal, we’re laughing at your belief that Brad should be honored to have you use his work for free!

What do you mean your trying to collect $25 for your art? Don’t you know all artists are rich and greedy? ;-)
A fellow artist overheard the comment about rich, greedy artists while shopping in a big box home improvement store. She loudly said to her hubby that even prostitutes are more appreciated for their work….
Love your sense of humor with this joker.

Martin, thank you for your comment and the clarification of your position, I know all 10 of my readers will appreciate your efforts.

I am very happy to know that you do not want to violate me.
