    WHAT MEEKLO SAID...

    ... never EVER give your source away... that is or those are... your tools.

    Do painters give their brushes away w/the painting... along w/the technique secrets involved?... do auto mechanics also hand over their tool box after they fixed your car?...

    ... your tools are your tools... do NOT give your source away... make them pay for it. I usually make my clients pay the exact amount for the project.

    If the Flash was $3k... they can fork over another $3k for all the tools involved then... else they can 'return to the painter for another portrait'... or bring their car back in to the mechanic to have the next after-market accessory added or upgrade...

    ******

    To you DOLTS who basically said 'suck it up and fork it over'... would you morons please fuck off? Respect your intellectual property - it's why people hire you, dipshits.
