| 05/30/03 | Jeremy | I agree your 58 is rough. I doubt it is worse than my 58 deluxe. However like you I will bring it back to life. I like to see some of your fab equipment. i am a metal working junky and love seeing others homemade tooling. I built my rail completely from scrap metal. It is alot of fun.Later-Jeremy |

| 05/21/03 | mike | This bus was built in Sept. of 58 but registered as a '59 it's whole life. That is why it has the pressed front bumper. The rear is gone but the brackets for a pressed rear are still there. The mirror is the only after market thing on the bus. The engine is a 40hp, the 36 died in the 70's so the PO put in a bored out 40hp. It does run but needs some work. No hack jobs, no cut wheel wells, dash is clean. That's what is meant by unmolested. |
| 05/20/03 | Mike | Unmolested 59? Whats up with that front bumper, maybe it's a 58? But still, I know that mirror is wrong. |
| 05/20/03 | mike | This bus is for sale right now. too many projects and not enough room forces sale. been an AZ bus most of her life but does have some rust. only missing middle seat and rear bumper. all panels are there, radio delete plate, og tail lights, new tires etc. email if interested. $2400 obo 5/20/03 NO TRADES! |

| 08/13/03 | biggyskates | As an artist, and a commercial one, you should know by now to ad your 'copyright' tag over anything you publish online. It may make it look like crap, but people are less likely to poach it and use it like you say this guy did.
If people want a clean copy, they purchase it from you. |
| 05/01/03 | Greg | Okay. Let's be fair. Yes, he's probably some kid who did this. No, it's not some exact duplicate of original art that he knocked up. I'm guessing you mean he created an exact 3D model of the bus, same colors, same lighting, rendered it, added the bunny...
Seeing as it took quite a while to make the model, and the renderer used in this is from software that not a lot of people use or know about, which has its own rendering traits. Also, my understanding of a parody is making your own version of an image, then creating some sort of parody from that. A good example is when Mad Magazine would take the "Peanuts" characters and use them in their own scenarios and stories. They just didn't clip out comics, and paste them into the mag and add new caption bubbles...but I might be wrong. If Domi had taken the time to make a 3D model of the bus, measuring every little detail, then texturing (you know, the texture is scanned in from actual bus paint), getting the right waves in the glass and metal (yes, glass has waves in it), creating an algorithm that simulates real canvas, creating another that simulates real rubber...then lighting,rendering so every little detail shows well (the original image was rendered for poster size, 2,000 passes). So,I'll lay off. I think what ticks me off is he did not ask for permission first. The model and render, as well as other work I do, is usually for other people, big companies, corporations, and in some cases smaller shops (this is on the BFY site). The client paid for it, and thus, only two people have the right to use it or display it. The client, and me. If someone nicely writes me and asks to use it, with what intent, then I will always say yes, unless it's for porn or something like that. Yes, the bunny fits in, and it looks like Domi just didn't cut and paste it in, but spent some time making it look nice and clean. As to drinking too much coffee and being a tweaker, you are incorrect on both guesses. I work hard on my imagery and art. And before someone "borrows" it, I'd like to know first. Don't tell me you wouldn't be pissed if you spent weeks working on something, then someone else comes along, adds something to it, and calls it their own work. The work is not so crappy. But the lack of respect to ask is. By the way Thom, what do you mean by JD? |
| 04/27/03 | Julian Dalton | Copyright. lawers Fair enough.
but if YOU have a true artistic spirit, would you just call someone elses efforts 'crap'Probably not |
| 04/28/03 | Ed | Greg, lay off of the coffee you tweaker! Good luck finding a lawyer to go after what is most likely a broke teenager having fun on his computer! |
| 04/28/03 | thom | It's considered fair use under 'parody'. It's done all the time.
How many box tops did you have to send in for your JD? |
| 04/27/03 | Greg | Okay, so wrong analogy. Still, copyrighted material and no permission. Now for the messy legal stuff. |
| 04/25/03 | thom | To break your analogy, he didn't modify a physical object. It's like he knocked up an exact duplicate of it, then added his own stuff. |
| 04/25/03 | Greg | Dude, it might be a good idea to ASK someone if you can use their images and or art BEFORE you kipe it, modify it and make it look like complete crap. Do you go to you local art gallery, borrow some art piece, take it home, add what you think makes it better, then take it back to the gallery and say, "Here. I can't come up with my own stuff, so I thought I'd take your original stuff, add crap to it, then bring it back and say it's mine."? Just to let you know the image you added to of the bus is COPYRIGHTED. Meaning, it's illegal to use without PERMISSION of the artist, which in this case would be me.
Hope you have a good lawyer, and a lot of money. |
