As I'm sure a few people have by now realized, the artwork I submitted for the TransWorld Haunter's Pavilion T-Shirt contest bears an uncomfortable resemblence to the marketing artwork for The Bates Motel. Randy very graciously brought this to my attention yesterday and I'm just sick about it.
For the record, this was absolutely an accident. I did the artwork in a hurry because I was under the gun on several projects and needed to move on quickly; there was no conscious attempt to emulate the Bates artwork; it just sort of happened. I am mortified over the whole thing, believe me.
I just wanted to publicly apologize to Randy about this. I have very strong feelings on the subject of plagiarism (especially artistic plagiarism), and while this was completely unintentional, I'm still really embarrassed. Hopefully Randy will let me make it up to him.
