Mindless Ramblings of an Eloquint Soul
On the Drawing Board:
I've scrapped the Inuyasha project because I just wasn't happy with how he was coming out. Sorry to those of you that were patiently awaiting that little number.
Instead, I'm going to embark on a new and fun venture. I want to combine old print ads from the 30's, 40's, and 50's with modern anime characters.
I've got the first idea ready to sketch. I'm kind of excited to see how this will turn out.

Grifter Learns A Lesson:
It was brought to my attention by my good chum Darkangel, that there was a portion of a wallpaper that was used without permission.
I immediately pulled it from the Otaku server and wrote an e-mail to the original artist.
I informed him of the mistake and, after apologizing, I explained how the owner of the site in which I attained the image had removed his signature from it. He responded in kind and thanked me for my letter. After that he gave me permission to use his works so long as I gave the proper acknowledgments. I thanked him and re-posted the wallpaper today.
You can find his 3D Gundam renderings in beautiful technicolor on his site at www.deviantart.com/sandrum.
The least I can do is plug the man.

Responses to the Last Post:
I'm glad to see such a good response from you guys concerning my last post.
Please know that I like to research the material for any editorials before I go on the rampage. Mind you that was tame, it still needed to be addressed. Know that I'm not here to judge or pick a fight with anyone. I just want to invoke your thoughts and voice. Too many people tip-toe around what needs to be said. I'm just a facilitator with a good heart. I love to see people succeed, not fail. So when I rip sites like this, it's not for a cheap bid at ratings or to fulfill a vendetta.
It's just good ol' Grif raising something up the flag pole and seein' who salutes.
So far it's 14 salutes and, fortunately, none of them used the single finger variety.

Later all,

Grif
