Quick question: Now that I'm putting up high-rez versions of my work, is anyone here making use of it? Printing them out, computer desktops etc.? Just curious.

Is making a tshirt not a derivative work, therefore barred by your CC licence?

Posted by: Mike Jones at April 12, 2006 11:53 AM

Most definitely. Blue Rage, black white grey 02 and b+w carlisle make great desktops. In fact, they're pretyt much my favourites of all time :)

I've just downloaded blue 6712 to give that a go, too.

I'm passing them off as my own work, and using the attendant borrowed charisma to demand sordid sexual favours from cute young foundation year art students.

i guess you can't put online big versions of old ones, can you? would love to print out cool sheep picture.

I don't mind t-shirts, as long as it stays non-commercial.

I have printed a couple out on plain paper, and given them out to friends as greeting cards.

Posted by: Dannie Jost at April 12, 2006 12:14 PM

Most definitely! Please keep up the enlightening work!

I used one in a presentation last night. The one about the CEO who plays solitaire.

It hits close to home, unfortunately. My CEO plays Texas Hold-Em online.

I've been printing them out (even before the hi-res versions) and tacking them up in various locations around the office, where ever they are most appropriate or will cause the largest commotion.....

It sure is hard to juggle both dating and blogging, to be sure … unless one does a date-blog. (No, I don’t reproduce your work but I refer people to your blog.)

I will buy Stormhoek as much as I'am able to carry ...

Posted by: Desideria at April 12, 2006 2:50 PM

I don't print them, but I like to view the high-res-versions of your pictures.

Posted by: Eugê at April 12, 2006 4:03 PM

Whenever I have the same feelings as your images, I immediately post them in my blog of course image linked from and to your server. Is this legally wrong?

Posted by: Balaji at April 12, 2006 4:42 PM

I do the same as Balaji above. Please let me know if it is inappropriate and I will remove the images from my blog.

Thanks for the wonderful cartoons, they do cheer up a dull guy :)

I had a detail of the swirly black and white 3D squiggle painting as my desktop for a week. The editor of a style mag where I was freelancing asked about it.

His Hughness:

I used your "global microbrand" graphic in the top story on the MarketingProfs blog yesterday:
http://blog.marketingprofs.com/2006/04/global_microbrands_and_the_per.html

...with credit in full color, of course.

I've been saving the low res versions for as long as I've been reading… I haven't yet saved the high res versions because I can't just drag them from the rss feed to the "hugh folder."

But then, I'm really only saving them so I can look at 'em and giggle again (or use them when appropriate on a blog post with credit, link, etc).

I don't really print *anything* anymore. It all lives in the laptop… I own about three times as much wall-hanging art as I have walls, so it's just easier that way. (hmm... guess I need a nine bedroom house, then).

Still, I like the idea of having the high res versions available. It's a nice gift, and I'm sure that there are a lot of people who will take advantage of it.

As for Stormhoek? Yeah, as soon as it turns up nearby, I'll try it. But I would have done that anyway by this point just out of curiosity. In fact, I'll probably try an experiment to see just how much trouble I can get in by blogging after polishing off a full bottle. heh.

Hugh,

Funny stuff. How about a version with one of these alternate responses:

Yes, but I am married to the blogosphere!

OR

Yes, but I am having an affair with the blogosphere!

Blue 6712 just became my desktop - I had no idea the oil-type texture detail was in there until I clicked to the hi-res. Nice work.

Posted by: Stace at April 12, 2006 9:21 PM

Desktops? Oooh, didn't think of that! At work, we're getting bombarded with "Be the Brand" messages. Wouldn't you know it, the day after a co-worker went off on a sarcastic riff about "Being the Brand", Living the Brand showed up. Just gotta love serendipity...

Posted by: Todd W. at April 12, 2006 10:58 PM

I printed the living the brand one out last week :)
(before hi res, I'm soo old skool).

Posted by: bennie johnston at April 12, 2006 11:07 PM

I would probably make use of some of theolder ones - I was actually looking forward to the next t-shirt release! Any chance of some of the old favourites in high-res?

I would probably get them onto t-shirts, but some of them I have used as email signatures when the audience is appropriate

Posted by: Ric at April 12, 2006 11:32 PM

I upload them to Flickr, then once I posted my favorites to my blog with a link back to you.  You linked to it and it brought me lots of traffic.

I do not print them or make any money from your work, or mine for that matter. Damn, I hate when that happens!

I shall definitely be printing this one, will get it framed and hang it in my office. My husband says I am a blog bore, but I am totally absorbed by it while he prefers Ebay. Such is life!!

Posted by: Ellee at April 13, 2006 8:12 AM

I have published this on my blog today, but women can equally be addicted, I am.

Posted by: Ellee at April 13, 2006 8:24 AM

I'm printing out a bunch to give away at Barcamp Bangalore next week. The shop's printer can't do smaller than A3, but they'll print me a sheet for Rs 25 (USD ~0.5).
