Well... It started out innocently enough. As I have little experience with graphic art I am loathe to part with the money for Photoshop. So as an alternative I downloaded Gimp. After installing it It did not take too long to copy a road tile from Streets of mayhem and play with altering it. After that I got a little courageous and remembering a thread on the WWG board about adding graffiti, I grabbed a wall section from Mayhem Industrial and went looking for something to add to it. Somehow the Pygmy images came to mind and after several tries managed to copy one, remove the white background, and paste it on a layer over the wall. Next I went searching for a font that looked at least a bit like writing, used the blur on it, added a little rotation and painted PYGMIES on the wall next to the figure. The text is probably way too large, but it will make a bold statement when I get my desk cleared and can actually build. Before I go hog wild and splatter pygmies across town, I thought I should check and see how you felt about others using your art. This is for my personal build, not to be given away or sold.

That sounds hilariously funny! I am very eager to see the results. Please post some pics. As to my feelings, see this as a 'public statement';
* Feel free to use and modify my art, just remember to give me credit for it. * You may use it personally and to post it as free stuff with proper credit. * You are not allowed to sell my art without a proper written agreement with me. * Let me know what you have done, by posting here or on Paper Worlds. That last one is mostly to let me know that there is more for me to download. ;-)
Thanks for mentioning this, I have meant to write this down but never done it. I will post this more 'properly' on the homepage too when I have thought through the wordings.
The gist of it is 'use my stuff for personal use, and give your modified work avay for free - All with proper credit to me'.

;D Thanks for the response, particularly as i did not know who to attribute the Pygmy art to. It will probably be a couple of weeks before I have time to build it and get get some pictures. I will try to get a reduced scan to post here. I am thinking about using my Mayhem build for some street Splatball, with an elite squad called the Pygmies to hire out. If that happens I expect team pride will cause some more pygmy graffiti to pop up about town. Hmm... the princess and bearers would be cool on the side of a train.
