> I will look into that, but the profits to be derived from the T-shirt are scant and couldnt’ support much in the way of expense. Based on the performance of my iother T-shirts, I might make a hundred bucks from it, form about five ebay sales. Of course, my other work did not reference celebrities, just striaght up drawing and text, so there might be more sales from keywords that attract a larger audience.

So, you’re gonna add the "keywords’’ Britney and Christina in your eBay ad?

Smooth move.

Doncha get it yet? 😕

They will tell me not to publish no matter what. Others like sexy slavegirl art and will tell me to publish no matter what. I have to take things into account here.

Which posts in that thread do you think were opinionated?

> p.p.s. This is a fun board, but I don’t think I’ll be paying for a membership. Just can’t justify it. I’ll try to lurk around the GQ boards and answer any IP issues that come up until the trial membership expires.

As **Manny** said, you could have emailed me, and I would have allowed you to post to that thread. We appreciate any help from a professional.

Sorry to hear that the board is not worth the money. Or, perhaps it’s your time that you can’t justify.

If it’s the money, I’ll pay your year. You seem like a decent sort. We need more of you.

If it’s the time…then I fully understand. My kids think I’m a lunatic. Maybe they’re right. :o
