For Boston, For Boston, 'Til The Echoes Ring Again

Mon, 15 Apr 2013 16:10:15 -0700

For all those people running scared in Boston tonight, I would just like to say, stay strong. It’s almost hard to believe that someone could or would stage an attack like this, and I’m sure that whoever is responsible will be held accountable. As someone with strong ties to the city of Boston and the state of Massachusetts, having been born in Brockton and spending my first 3 years of live in South Carver, and then returning to spend almost a decade in the North Shore community of Beverly during and around my college education, and having many family members who live and work in the area, I can safely say that I feel your outrage.

The city of Boston has a strong heritage or patriots and standing together, and I have no doubt that that sense of self will continue to give it’s people strength in times such as this. Pull together and you will get through this. Stay strong, Boston, you are by far one of the closest places to my heart.

The Best Kind of ComplimentGot a message on Deviantart today from Tophat-Rabbit, the person who asked me if I she could have permission to use my War-Rabbit image for a tattoo. Being immensely flattered, I agreed provided she sent me an image of the final product, and I have to say I am liking the end result. Click the link below to take a closer look and favorite if you want.

On Wednesday, the US Supreme Court will hear a case that has the potential to give big corporations free rein to write contracts that prevent consumers from ever holding them accountable for fraud, antitrust violations, or any other abuses of consumer and worker protection laws now on the books.

On Wednesday, the US Supreme Court will hear a case that has the potential to give big corporations free rein to write contracts that prevent consumers from ever holding them accountable for fraud, antitrust violations, or any other abuses of consumer and worker protection laws now on the books.:

motherjones:

Read up.

This has got to be like the 6th in a long line of laws that have been introduced in the past 18 months that are designed to let big corporations or the government, at the behest of big corporations, trample on individual and small business rights by letting the larger corporate entities or gov. agencies have too much sway when it comes to copyright, access to private information and now your right to sue the crap out of someone when they screw you over.

Basically what this law looks like is an expansion on a clause that some companies have been including in their End User License Agreements that makes you agree to a contract that states you will not join a class action lawsuit if the company does something wrong (I believe Electronic Arts was one of the first companies to do this). Anyway, this new law will make it impossible for an individual to sue a large company if they commit fraud or break anti-trust laws, etc.

What ever happened to that whole, corporations are people business, or is that only applied when it benefits said entities? I guess if you are rich enough, and can actually afford to pay out on a class action lawsuit you are also rich enough to be legally exempt from such things actually happening to you.

Prints & Merch Available!:

Hey people,

I have some recent work that has been added to my gallery as well as some news on prints. I recently ran across Society6, a site many of you may already be aware of but I had not been. For those who don’t know, it’s a site (much like Cafepress) that allows you to set up a free online store where you can upload images and sell on various products that will be manufactured by the site holders on a “per sale” basis. The main difference between sites like Cafepress and Society6 is that S6 is primarily geared towards artists by providing a place for them to sell prints of their work without having to deal with actually printing, packaging, and shipping the products they sell. You can dictate the amount you want to earn on top of the manufacturing cost for each print, while merchandise has a fixed amount of profit that goes to you for each sale.

I have uploaded a couple of my pieces and made them available as high quality prints, stretched canvas prints, framed prints, t-shirts, hoodies, iphone cases/skins, laptop/ipad skins, pillows, etc. If you are interested in purchasing any of my work, or helping me pay my bills, check out me store and spend some money, let me know if there are any pieces in my tumblr or main site gallery you want to see as prints and I’ll try to make them available, but for now enjoy some of my best pieces that are available now.

P.s: I will add more later.

Are you the best around? Will anything ever keep you down?

Yes I’m the best and nothing will ever keep me down, not even super Hitler and his radioactive army of undead mega turkeys.
