Some nice work there although I see my design has been copied again.
Page 485 bottom right, white pink & blue.
Would have even nice to have been asked

Good copy that chief. Very impressive work. Shame they didn't mention it to u tho. Imitation is the best form of flatulance apparently.

Thought they were yours dude !
Copying is the highest form of flattery they say mate

[Pedros20]

Obviously not ask Mike Parker if he minds having his work copied! I know what the answer would be!

Ask permission to copy someone's shell colours? Seriously? That sound ridiculous. They're not "your" colours.

There's thousands of shell designs out there. They're bound to get duplicated now and then. People copy other designs all the time.

I have a Masami shell, should I have asked permission?

Sounds crazy.

[Pedros20]

I'm not saying he should have asked me, he should have asked Mike, we've heard it before from painters that there shells are art!
I also know that Mike has been asked many times to duplicate my design & he's refused!
Common decency, enough said!

[sime46]

It's not a lot for someone who clearly has seen a design they like on someone's car to ask if the painter or owner minds? The whole thing about a custom paint scheme is that its indiviual to the owner and sets his car apart from the rest. Just a quick pm would've surely been a nice thing to do? I would have if there was a design I'd like to copy, although I prefer to go my own way with these things. As said, the curtesy would surely have been appreciated.

Can we get my thread back on track showcasing painted bodies I tried to bite my tongue !! I don't nor will I ever ask permission to paint toy cars copies or not ! you expect me to go into a full investigation to find who originally painted a shell then your off your rocker ?? For all I knew he could have stopped using mike and asked me to do one I don't know or care !! as a painter you have to come to terms with being copied and being ask to copy work it tuff

[Pedros20]

Yes & I'll try & bite my tongue when I have my design ripped off without even a pm asking if I'd mind!

[def12007]

I won't ask permission ever and if I did how the hell am I supposed to know who the original scheme was for come on work it out how do I know ? I get a shell in the post copy this please so I do what the customer wants for all I know it could have been you asking me to copy a shell ,

[jonmiller]

Being a painter I have a lot I could say on this subject but all I will say is nice work Darren, keep it up bud.

MODS - please tidy up this thread and delete necessary posts (mine included) before it becomes a mass sprawl of childish bickering
