Bieber Misfits Ripoff

I was alerted earlier today that another person ripped off my Bieberzig shirt (which is currently sold out). This time, the person: Curt Eichelberger, used my exact drawing. This kind of thing is so frustrating. After some research it seems that he has a history of this kind of thing. I’ve been asked quite a few times if I am planning on reprinting the design—this is one of the reasons I leaning towards retiring it.

    Man, that sucks. It’s so deliberate.

    This gets me so heated. Especially all the “parody” stuff he has up. Weak.

    He’s a dick. He actually has his own urban dictionary definition and it’s accurate to boot:
