    I hope I edited this quote right, first off, or this won’t make much sense.

    In Amanda’s black tee shirts in the top and left frames, does that look like DCM’s art to anyone else? I hope there’s a agreement in the background there somewhere with him if so. My sensitivity to this is just a symptom of the work I do.

    I’m honestly not sure- it could be, I suppose, but I don’t recall ever seeing that particular style or character from him.

    Regardless, assuming it is DCM’s work, the agreement would be between the t-shirt manufacturer and DCM- and, possibly, also the photographer- not Ms. Lau.

    That’s Dave’s Muscle Pinup alright!

    While I certainly see where you’re coming from here, I think you’re overlooking the possibility that she might have some stake in the t-shirt designs or the shirts themselves.

    I’m not trying to get her in trouble here, but I do want to see the interests of a long time friend of and contributor to this community protected.

    Has anybody asked DCM about it? I did notice the use of his drawing, but I honestly just figured they must have licensed it from him. Hope Dave is getting something out of it.

    No, I haven’t. They haven’t asked my permission, they haven’t paid any money, they just appropriated my art without even the courtesy of a note saying “hi, we’re gonna be ripping off your art, hope you don’t mind.”

    Does anyone know how I can get in touch with the T-shirt manufacturer?

    This isn’t the first time, I seem to recall that there was a post here @ Amaz0ns
    (A few yrs or so back?) w/ another FBBr or Powerlifter wearing a tank shirt w/ DCM’s Tetsuko on it.
