Thread to encourage 100%Manc to find a publisher.

His stuff is brilliant and needs a wider audience. Innit?

In short no, its good for a laugh on here though.

dont think it will work, as he would have to copyright his material before going to publish....however, i have a feeling a lot of the piccies used by 100%manc are already copyrighted

Perhaps so. They'd make for some excellent postcards, though, copyright and all that notwithstanding. I don't know the law on this and whether internet sources are regarded as public domain.

I seem to remember him being threatened with a writ or something what came of that?? Can someone remind me what that was all about?

...mmmm His work is good on here, no doubt about that, but self-publishing is always an option for original material.

Many of us, myself included, tend to use images already out there for our photoshops - we just over-shop them for the Mancini/City/Fergie/whatever themes, so we wouldn't have a leg to stand on if we started making money out of them.

Good fun all the same.

I don't think he named names but from what I can remember, a twin of Darth Vader wrote to him on behalf of an Evil Empire from a place just outside Manchester and threatened a law suit if he didn't stop corrupting us all with his sinister photoshop work. It stopped him in his tracks at first but then he said WTF and carried on. At least I think he did.

Hi, long time reader, first time poster, first City game in 1966...

but anyway

The Guardian has a weekly themed photoshop contest, known as The Gallery. Maybe 100%manc should try there if he doesn't already know about it

The stuff I do for hear mainly uses Images from copyrighted stuff. But I dont care Im in more debt than the scum so if they want to take me for my money let em lol.

Seriously though its all good for a laugh but tbh its not that good (apart form the fergie pissed up one).

If I had the rights to use certain stuff then that would be different.

In my day job I am a graphic designer, I would love to spend time working on original MCFC stuff but I just dont have the time.

Cheers Pam for the reminder.

100% I really enjoy your photoshops, top quality mate.

Shame there's no way around the copyright.

What would happen if posters on here gave you rights to their own photo's?
