You asked.

I don't like it.

It looks like a bad posterboard collage of current events that a 6th grader would put together. I "get" the references and am familiar with some of the individuals. I just don't like it.

I would like to know of the hoops you had to jump through to get permission to make the Starbuck's snare. I've commissioned some custom finish snares and had some trouble getting some of them made. I would love to get a Starbuck's snare. Is it for sale? Before you answer...is it legal?

Let me know if the Starbuck's snare is available. Thanks.

I think its pretty cool.

This is moving to the general section...

I have a friend that paints artwork based off of sports teams. As long as it is considered "artwork" he is allowed to paint it and sell it. He has been doing it for years and has never had a problem.

Just curious about the "permission" from Starbuck's. Those are not painted images. Those are the work of a team of graphic artists and a huge legal team...not to mention, the Logo. I don't want to purchase the snare if it's not legal. If it is, I am very interested. That's what I'm waiting on. Anytime a person or company wants to use the actual image (not drawn or painted) that is another's published work, they have the legal responsibility to acquire permission to use it. It took me several years to get final approval on the TMNT snare I had made....one of several I've had commissioned. I'm just one of those guys who wants everything above board. Hopefully, these guys did the right thing and that snare is for sale. That would be cool.

"It's really hard to appreciate freedom of expression until you have been deprived of it for awhile...."

I think John McCain said that... or something like that. That strikes a cord with me, him having been a POW and all, I honor his perspective... that is not intended to be political

The drum itself doesn't jump at me.. but I really appreciate your expression... I hope you never quit going where the spirit moves you.
