Everybody else is doing it!
Link image time!
 
Wanna link to Templar from your own page? It's easy! And I have provided appealing imagery with which to do so!
Actually, I provided them about a year ago, but I they never see any use as far as I can tell. Maybe hiding them over on the links page wasn't such a hot idea.
So yeah, here they are on the frontpage (sorta) until I figure out a permanent home for them.
And just so this post isn't totally wasted on base self-promotion: That Todd Goliath/Goldman vs. Shmorky plagiarism thing is still going strong, and it's taken a few interesting twists. Todd's lawyer is mailing out cease & desist orders to prominent sites that've covered the story (Juxtapoz's and Wired's blogs have caved under the threat), Shmorky's reported the settlement Todd's offered him to make all of this go away was a miserable pittance, and at least two art retailers now no longer sell Todd's "work." What's more, the whole mess has been Slashdotted.
That's bad, by the way. Being Slashdotted. Bad for Todd, that is.
To catch up on the latest in What-Did-Todd-Steal news and information, check out this page. It also received a c&d, which the page's author promptly posted... But without removing the incriminating material.
It's not libelous if it's true, after all.
The original thread on the Someting Awful forum's got the goods, too, with reports of Todd sock-puppeting phony supporters in blog comments, and hacking the MySpaces of the people who sent him hate mail.
Todd's previously described himself as "not a web guy," and in my opinion, that's pretty true. A "web guy" would have the fuckin' brains to use different IPs for all of his sock puppet posts, and definitely know better than to host the taunting images he used in his hacks on his own company's private webspace.
What a thoroughly useless human being.
I know how INTERNET CRUSADE this sounds, but really, I hope you guys remember all of this and avoid buying any merchandise from either "David & Goliath" or "Fred is Red" in the future. Both companies are owned by Todd, and he makes millions of dollars every year ripping off small-time artists and cartoonists... and then has the nerve to act like a huge fucking dick about it when he's caught with his pants down.
This isn't cool. I know way too many creative professionals who work like dogs to promote their art for the idea of a carpetbagging grab-ass like Goldman to be even remotely funny.
