[edit] Image request svg

I see you made an svg of the image request image. Looks great - thanks! --Anthony5429 06:00, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. (I seem to be doing a lot of SVG replacements lately--it's one of the least inflammatory things you can do!) The hard part is going to be replacing all the .png versions. Even after doing all the templates, there seem to be a bazillion of 'em left. I'm sure there's an automated method that I'm not aware of. Dyfsunctional 19:45, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image possibly unfree

I've raised some questions about your image Image:Xyz boxer.jpg at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images#November 16. Please provide any information you can there. Thanks. Chick Bowen 03:33, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

I've left some info at that page and on the image's description page regarding the source of the background image, Image:Right-left01.png, which is purported to be "free use." Dyfsunctional 19:06, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the info. We'll keep working on it. Chick Bowen 20:34, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

I found the original here--clearly not free. Would you be willing to create a replacement? Perhaps with one of the images here? If not, it's not a problem--I'm sure the article can be illustrated with something else. Thanks again. Chick Bowen 20:46, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Nice detective work. It's a pity; I liked that image (and it was no easy task cloning all the wrinkles in the trunks as I recall!). I'm going to try and whip something up along the same lines. Thanks. Dyfsunctional 21:26, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

I've created and uploaded a new, PD image. Dyfsunctional 21:10, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Footprints (poem)

[edit] Frutiger

I don't know enough about fonts to argue on that basis. However, current image searches are yielding some controversial evidence that lends credence to your objections. http://artamerica.com/gd/promen-1.shtml shows another artist as the author of the image I am using. Furthermore, http://www.bigbus.vispa.com/portfolio/work/popart/three.html seems to suggest another set of paintings may lay claim to the title I am using on the fair use images. I may have to remove that image out of concern for proper citation. TonyTheTiger 21:29, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

I've done some searching and found that the artist is indeed Steve Kaufman, who describes himself on his web site as "Andy Warhol's former protege." Coincidentally, I found this image on Kaufman's site: [1]. So yes, the image has to be removed from the soup can article at least. Dyfsunctional 16:19, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
