PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

So I have been involved in making t-shirt designs for years now. Mostly typography types but not always. I mean I am first and foremost a writer. I have been since I was around ten years old. Tonight I was inspired by a quote to make something like it of my own for a t-shirt. After much scribbling and scratching out I came up with this.

"See this shirt? It's my magical bullet proof vest  When I wear it I am immune to your double barreled stupidity"

That said with the nature of what I do I know someone out there will eventually steal my original saying/quote and use it to make a quick buck. There are those in print on demand who have no respect for anything but the dollar...

I guess that one part of why I came here to share this in an article. To protect my intellectual property after a fashion. Not the entire reason though. Much of it is just being really proud of myself for putting that together based on another quote I read.

Now I know I mentioned being inspired by another quote... but what I came up with is wildly different and also quite a bit longer than the original. It is not stealing to be inspired and come up with your own thing. :) I won't have any issue if someone does that with anything I write. I would be honored.

However if they directly take it what I worked hard on ... word for word... I will be most upset.
