just wondering, why did you deceide not to do business with them? was it your decision? seems to me, if you were really trying to make this your business, wouldnt have the publicity from them selling one of your designs helped your cause out? at least generate some sort of demand or feedback?
the fact that you were in business discussions, they kept your sample and then came out with a similar design should be enough to go to court. and you can easily find a lawyer who would take that on for a nice commission.

This is a tribute to the Wu-tang Clan. It's also a limited promo shirt. Not many were made, and it was made at high cost so I make just enough to pay for the shirts. That's why it's more of a promotional shirt. Get am' while they're hot!
$25.99? C'mon...

(Jan 16 06, 19:22)Dude, 25.99 from the manufacturer to the public is not "making enough to pay for the shirts" was my point.
Also CHZ, when a skate company makes a shirt they produce it, sell it at wholesale to retailers and then the retailers doubles it again until it reaches 25 bucks, you know? This dude is selling these out of his basement.

No offense to Mr Cupcakes, I understand he is running his bussiness, but the idea of a plane dropping cupcakes is not original in the first, I have seen it with hearts, lollypops, guitars, etc.I do not think it was a rip, I do believe it was just coincidence, because it was never an original idea in the first place...
Just a thought
- studderine0
exactly, urban may have stolen it, but that idea is in the public domain. shit, even i thought about making a design like that as well. only mine had marijuana leaves falling from the plane. aight!
- Meeklo0
I think it was just coincidence..

I keep finding shirts like that EVERYWHERE...
We should start a thread:
"Post pictures of t-shirts that have a plane dropping something else than bombs"
