Beware this Indiegogo Campaign
« on: June 13, 2015, 05:47:31 PM »
I will be posting this other places this evening, but our good friend Viper Aviator is having his graphic work pirated please do not support this indiegogo campaign:

Spread the word!

Talk about a small internet world, i just happened to see on Darth Daddy's Blog this evening that he was supporting a waterslide decal campaign and I immediately recognized the graphic work and when I went to facebook to congratulate VA and scold him for not telling me so I could promote it I found out it was indeed his work, but not him that was trying to make a buck off of it! I promptly alerted DD too and posted on other places, but figured the folks here could spread the word too.

Graphis work is very hard as I know from personal experience. I also know it has a fingerprint every bit as much as a customizers work of art in a custom action figure or vehicle, diorama, etc. We here at Imperial Shipyards do not ever condone the theft of someone else's work and passing it off as your own.

Feel free to see Viper Aviator's original work here:

You will see it has been posted for years.

Folks, I have since come to find out this person has a website and an eBay Store where he has sold these images for who knows how long. It is very sad.
