I hate to break it to you, but that site rips off designs from original artists without their permission, most likely including this one. I've emailed the original artist about it, and you can see the original, including a link to the artist's website here: http://www.thornvalley.com/gallery/fan/v/misc/Gateway2NIMH.jpg.html

Yeah, I was about to say any independently owned and operated site that sells artwork of any kind may be ripping off/stealing designs or pictures. Unless you're 100% certain it's legit and and it comes from a well known/famous artist, I would tend to stay away. I would also be wary about what they do with your personal information.

Obviously, this independently owned site is using studio art which they clearly didn't get permission to use. This type of thing should raise red flags.

I just heard back from the artist and as I suspected he hasn't authorized the shirt. I'd suggest cancelling and getting your money back if you can; even if you don't care about the copyright infringement, people like that tend to be less than scrupulous about their business.

Thanks man, good to know! I'll cancel right away, I'm a pretty good cartoonist myself, and I'll customize my own, but this my shirt will be fully authorized by me, and contain a plasma cutter!
