I was just alerted that the Knitting Factory in L.A. has a rip-off of my vines poster hanging in their window promoting another show. just to be clear, this is an unauthorized use. I had nothing to do with it, nor was I asked permission for the use of the art.

before I contact the knitting factory, If anyone has any info as to who made the poster I'd appreciate it. The last thing I need is people pulling these down and selling them on eBay, or taking credit for the art.

And I really appreciate the heads up from the person that tipped me off.

Thanks!
Dave

Maybe you should ask Darren or Tara to help you look into it. Don't they do a lot of KF LA posters?

I'm thinking that this fact makes you a suspect!

I guess it wasn't like a cheap-o print either.

I called the knitting factory and they've been taken down,

It sounds like the name of the band was 'Brett Bixby' or something like that.

Just make sure they don't ever end up for sale anywhere now.
