<DIV>A few years back, Sergio did a sketch in our sketchbook, and we thought it might be fun to put it on a t-shirt for me wear to cons. Before we did that, though, I figured that since it is Sergio's artwork, I ought to get his OK for it first. Is there any indication that Sergio would mind if I scanned the sketch he did for me onto a shirt? I don't recall if he or ME has addressed this (or a similar) issue before, and if so what the decision was. I understand that sometimes what we fans consider flattery, artists consider gross infringement on the use of their properties. If Sergio has, or has had in the past, any objections to this sort of use of his original art, I'll forget I even mentioned it. If Sergio is OK with it, though, I would like to add that to my con wardrobe (and look for me in San Diego with the Groo shirt and Leia buns).</DIV>
