Tour shirt designs

Yeah, Sara, these are great!  Do I have your permission to use it for a shirt I'll wear when I see MMJ open for Tom Petty in August?  I don't make shirts to sell, just one for myself.  If you want me to add a credit somewhere on the bottom, what should I put?

Of course you have my permission, print as many as you like, as long as you don't make anyone pay for it (and as long as it doesn't upset MMJ or anyone related to MMJ, I don't know how these things work really). I'm so happy you liked it. I wasn't planning on adding any credit, but now that you mention it, it would be nice with a tiny "SaraBananaBear - sharing is caring"  ;) But it isn't necessary if you rather it didn't say anything. Do you want me to send it to you without any background color?  :)

If you could send me your highest resolution versions as email attachments, I'd be much obliged.  I like the brightness of the yellow background and would probably do a transfer onto a black cotton t-shirt.  See my email below.

Tell me, Sara, do you have a copy of the Rockpalast DVD?  If not, I could send you a copy as a way of saying "thanks."  Otherwise, I have other goodies.  Just give me a mailing address in that email.  

Hm, I was reading AMC's thread about his YY t-shirt (http://www.mymorningjacket.com/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1267712216/60#60) and now I'm a bit worried that MMJ might not be ok with printing it.  :-/

Honestly, if its a press on design for somones personal use- I don't think they'll care.  I was making a design to be distributed so thats why I contacted management.  You should be alright!

Yeah, my attitude regarding my shirts has been, the images are borrowed, with some text added, but I'm only making one for myself, not selling them nor taking credit for the original images.  

People at all three shows asked if I was selling the shirts and I explained that I would tell them how to make their own but would not sell them because I don't own the images.  

Its kind of like copying music or a movie.  Its not illegal unless you try to make money off it or present it as your own work.  I'm no lawyer, but I would never have made and worn these shirts if I thought, for an instant, that MMJ would object.  

That said, don't worry about your design, Sara, if you've any concerns.  I'd love to hear how the design evolved.  Where did the silouettes come from?  What software did you use? etc...

As long as you come visit me in jail, I'll be happy. Maybe play me some MMJ music or bring a copy of Okonokos that I can play for the other interns.  ;) I took existing photos (except the one of Patrick which is a screenshot from Okonokos) and hand painted the silouettes in photoshop (using some shortcuts here and there, not sure how to describe it really).
