What is the set that is in picture 1?  I really like the look.  I searched for "round 1 +" but did not ave much luck.

Best wishes for your father and family and good luck with the auction.

Round 1 dolch look alike set

[SmallFry]

Glissant,
Did your wife mean to draw a CC or one of Feng's caps. The eyes look like a CC but the top looks like a Feng cap. Either way it looks pretty bad ass!

[ekw808]

Did you ever ask CC if you could sell a picture of his artwork? Not trying to be a downer, but isn't selling a picture of CC's skull not your artwork to sell? When I painted my case with a drawing of his skull, I asked him how he felt about it, and he told me specifically it did not matter as long as I never sold the case. While I'm sure he would be willing to sympathize with you in your situation, I think you should still speak with CC about his opinion on the matter.

[hashbaz]

Come on bidders, don't let boost get the Red Cherries for $25!

You can use these pics if you'd like Glissant.

 

[moonprismpwr]

Would someone be so kind as to link me to the artist's profile, so I can message them? I don't really think they'd be so horribly stuck up to bar the drawing, as it is for a good cause, and not intended for mass production or anything. But so the air can be clear at least and people can go back to focusing on if they want to bid on it or not. Thanks.

omfg, eyes roll so hard they almost fall out.

Even if CC had a problem, which is hard enough to believe, he would have zero legal standing to assert copyright over her drawing -- for the same reason I could buy pottery, paint a still life of it, then sell the painting.  Do you cry foul when someone posts a picture of one of their clacks?  Hell no.  How about when they trade or sell it for a profit?  Nope.  Because they aren't doing anything wrong.

I've written about this before in the valentine GB thread.  I honestly don't understand why everyone is so uptight around here.  Its like the concepts of fair use, public domain, and citation with attribution have never been heard of.

I don't want to hijack this thread.  I will not speak of this again, at least not here.
All I will say from now on  is that I think that avatar is hella cool!

You can keep rolling them all you want, its not about posting the picture, it's about selling it to make money off a product/icon they did not make or create. Too be honest I could not care any less what you think, I for one, like my skulls, and want more to be produced and prefer that anything that might upset CC and the production of those skulls be resolved.

When is something considered counterfeit? Geekhack is a very close knit community and because of that, it is not about being uptight; I was under the impression we respected each other and our creations and as a sign of respect we should give the maker the OPTION to choose what they want to do with their product, and not make assumptions. Not that hard to understand.

I've been hanging around this board since June and have spent an absurd amount of money on keyboards and keycaps since that time.  This, however, is too good of a cause to pass up so:

#4 - $65
#8 - $100

Glissant I wish all the best to you and your family and hope that your father recovers fully.

[moonprismpwr]

I highly doubt I am a threatening force towards CC's well-loved and much sought after clickclack skull business. To ease anyone's worries, I have PMed him to update him on the "situation". I am of the opinion that he will most likely not even bat an eyelash, and perhaps even see it as a nice thing. Which it was supposed to be.

[tjcaustin]

Definitely out on #8 now

#10 - $30

[ekw808]

Not saying you personally, but if I were an artist and saw a picture of my work being sold without my consent even if it was for children's cancer I wouldn't be happy, I'm sure everyone has a righteous cause and I could even support the cause, but the principle is that me being completely and totally unaware of the situation would make me more protective of my work, which could limit the outlets and manner of how I distribute of my work.

[penoulum]

#1- $95
#3- $65

[Glissant]

mushupork, it was a Dolch lookalike set that was called MO1 (mass order 1) or Round 1, but most of the information about the group buy has been lost. You might have better luck finding information about Round 3, as that is better known.

SmallFry, it was meant to be an interpretation of a CC skull in metal with glowing eyes. Pretty cool indeed =D.

Thanks for the pictures, hash! I'll put them up right away.

ekw808, you could have just sent me a private message about this. The wife is in the process of talking to clickclack about this matter, and it will be resolved before the drawing is sold or not. Thanks for pointing out something that needed clearing up.

[GMC]

Glissant, you have pm.

[Glissant]

I'll reply to all private messages once I get these damned attachments fixed. You remove one attachment and they all go haywire. *sigh*

[balanar]

#10 - $35
#11 - $30

[tjcaustin]

#10 - $40

[Glissant]

Added a couple of things:
firstly I added a gray cc skull of the MX variety that was donated to me by someone that would like to remain anonymous for the time being.
secondly I am adding my pink cc skull of the MX variety.

There might be yet another topre skull in the mix later this evening, so keep an eye out for that too.

[SmallFry]

You don't have to auction your pink one!

[Halverson]

#13-$50
#14-$50

[snooze2looze]

$110 for #2.

dude it's an issue of respect for the artist. don't take it so personally and don't get so offended when somebody has the nerve to consider the artist's intent when duplicating or reselling their art.
i can't honestly understand people that argue for their right to act like *******s.

glissant my best to you and your family, GLWA

[Glissant]

I've added pictures to the first post. And I have also added another 3D topre skull donated by GMC <3.

Thanks to everyone that has shown compassion, interest or just wished us luck. You are all invaluable people.


Edit: Sorry, SmallFry, I really do have to =/.

[el2k]

#14 60

[Halverson]

Thank you, I appreciate it.

Hi guys and gals,
I thought I would chime in here because moonprismpwr has contacted me and I have been following this thread. I think some clarification is in order for those unfamiliar with copyrighted works and other situations that come up quite regularly. I do appreciate the contact, but before, not after the fact would have been more appreciated. I unfortunately will not be authorizing this illustration for sale as a representation of my work and would kindly ask for its removal.


My thoughts are with you, Glissant, and respective families. If you would like a donation (key perhaps?) please feel free to contact me directly.
To keep this thread on track I have added my official response to this and similar in my F.A.Q thread as a new post.
http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=24463.new#new
 Do note however that my response is mostly NOT directed at this thread but as a response to others that I can no longer handle on a "one on one" basis anymore. Similarities will exist, but please exercise reason and compassion when doing comparisons. Thank you.
-cc =)

Edit: lol, geez people are fast, someone posted my link before I even did. lol

[reaper]

^ Slowpoke. 

[DanGWanG]

This auction just got awesomer

[tjcaustin]

Actually, pull my bid on #13.  I'm not interested in it anymore.

[moonprismpwr]

http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=24463.msg659900;boardseen#new

Yes thank you. I know you're quite eager to drive your point further, but I think CC's response is sufficient.

I apologize for not having contacted you prior to my drawing, CC, but it won't happen again. Thank you for your quick response and your condolences.

In the future ekw, if you have an issue with something like this, I suggest you first operate via pm instead of airing it out for everyone to pick apart and debate.

I plan to draw a new keycap from scratch using a dragon perhaps. If you have an issue with this, please PM me about it. Although, I can't say I see much of an issue as I can't quite contact the people who invented dragons as they are surely all long dead.

Thanks to everyone for supporting Glissant.

[ekw808]

You posted previously that you were timid to venture out into other subforums, thought I'd point it out but it's cool. You need people like me so you can point your f***ing fingers and say, that's the bad guy.

[Glissant]

Thanks for taking the time to reply in the thread, clickclack. Of course we should have asked before the fact, but hindsight is always 20/20. I apologize for the foul. I am glad that we sorted this out, and that you made it perfectly clear what your opinion on the matter is.
Thank you for your consideration too. My father is in good spirits after reading all the well wishes and positive messages, and for the father of the ClickClack skulls to actually take time to answer here has made MY day now too.
I appreciate your offer, but I wouldn't know how to ask. So many people have helped so far, and more keep coming. I'm overwhelmed with the kindness. I really have no idea how to thank everyone in a sufficient way.


ekw808, is there really the need to cuss at my wife? You are not a bad guy here. But like I said, I would have felt better if this issue was resolved via private messages as I feel like an idiot for posting that drawing now.
It has been resolved, and now we all know better.

[Glissant]

Very well =).

[moonprismpwr]

I'm sorry, what? No one pointed any fingers at you as a bad guy, I think you are projecting here.  It was nice of you to point out that CC should be contacted, as it was indeed a conflict of interest with his wishes. I said that I would like it if you PMed me instead. Art replication is a sensitive topic for many people and it is an easy gateway to many unnecessary debates, which can easily be avoided by taking the issue up in private.

So,timid to post, yes. My keyboard knowledge is pretty basic, so I have little to offer, but am eager to learn. Timid to point out that certain issues are best dealt with privately? Nope.

Edit: This is my last post relating to this on this thread. If you wish to discuss it privately, message me. I'm hoping the focus can turn back to helping out Glissant. Thanks.

[DanGWanG]

Everyone keep calm and let's not derail this thread any further.  Carry on Glissant!

Maybe I should donate something as this point too...

don't worry about it. most of these so called keyboard lovers/hoarders have no idea of what the hell they are using either. yet they have custom keyboards from korea.

[Glissant]

I have to get to bed now, everyone, but I'll be back in the morning to reply to all my private messages and the posts here.

Two new items added to the first post.
First thing I added was the novelty keycaps from WRXChris (Thanks, man <3)
Second thing I added was a 420 keycap from DanGWanG (Thanks, dude <3)

I will most likely be adding some more things tomorrow, and I will be extending the auction for at least a day to accommodate for all the amazing additions.

Thanks again everyone. You are amazing people!
