Rik, the third option is nonsensical; sharing is depriving artists of new commissions. "Tell your friends" might help a few more artists in need instead.
BlackMoonPrint itself seems in need of a clear direction in its wares.

I took it as share the information about the artists with friends.Quote:

Rik did you design that? Looks old fashioned and not like what I am accustomed to seeing from you but I know you have the talent otherwise I think it's OK however as Acorn said "BlackMoonPrint itself' is troublesome.
No, Larry. Can't take credit for that. I didn't design it.Quote:

It is a style of the times.
https://blackmoonprint.com/ ... perchance?
yes you would, pre-sixties certainly....
I agree and would have been all the more pleasant, marred by the gratuitous swearing on some of the site's products, which is why I omitted its URL.Quote:

In counterpoint, my favourite Punch cartoon is of a person pondering over a crate with Dnyamite embossed on it; the next image is an explosion with caption Bnag!. In today's clime, some would "assume" there was an intended slight of those with dyslexia; swearing, for effect, is just lazy.

what a lovely site..."his work is directly tied to a truck stop bathroom novelty machine he came across as a kid.:
the sadly now late Noel Ford [I'm pretty sure it was he] did one of an office cleaner looking into a room and seeing a waste paper basket surrounded by screwed up pieces of paper that have all missed, the sign on the door read: BAE Guided Weapons Research Department - that is funny
he also did this:

equally so
one of the intended effects of gratuitous swearing is often to unsettle/upset/offend - unless it it directed personally to someone I don't play that game, water of a duck's back, kids of whatever age will be kids - and I see a whole lot worse...
P.S. - maybe by sharing the link I could encourage someone to buy some of Noel's stuff ..... ;)
