why don't you all ask the artists how they feel about it? Forget what I say, its what the artists think that matters.

I LOVE to see my mugs painted on or even practiced on. I LOVE IT MOSTLY when an artist benefits or profits from his/her HONEST efforts. I invite any artist, anywhere to paint on any mug that I designed and to sell it for even a HUGE, ridiculous profit - just do it honestly. It would do me well to know that another artist would put that kind of time into a Sam's Shrunken Head or a Merv or Mort or whatever, and profit from it. Why not? CAPITALISM is BEAUTIFUL. After all, nothing's being stolen by painting on a mug. If you started manufacturing my designs without asking my permission and giving me a cut, then that's stealing.

Oh yeah, send me your Sam's Shrunken Heads, and I'll stripe them up too! :)

By the way, beautiful work on those 2 mugs at the beginning of this thread.
