Good luck with the book, who ever is in charge. May your profit margin be high so that next time you can pay the artists. As far as me 'doing' (which in this case means nothing more than using someone else's artwork to make a buck) a book anytime soon. Don't hold your breath :) I have no desire to do that. I merely was trying to clarify the situation and offer up viable options that truely benefited everyone involved. No one has really answered any of questions that have been posed. You, audre, have attempted to help, but since you say that you aren't involved with this book, then it doesn't really help much. Why do I get upset? Because it reeks. Without hardly any explaination other than where to send your money & artwork it comes off as predatory. I understand that the Rendo stance is one of pure altruism and maybe some of the staff members really do believe it. They get the brunt of a lot shit that isn't thier decision to begin or end with. So, guys, don't take it personally. Again, best of luck to Rendo and to all of those who enter. And sorry about your luck to those of you who lose your cash, better luck next time. --Rebekah--
