Yes. The last time I shared some lyics I got ripped off.

I attended a Lightfoot concert several years. During intermission I was doodling on a napkin because I was bored. About the time I finished drawing my 3rd 3-D box, a very old, very short stout man walked by with a crumpled face and sat smack dab in front of me. No big deal right. Wrong. He was shoveling popcorn in his mouth and was making this digusting smack/pop sound as he was eating. As he would eat, he would sway back and forth and block my view. It was really annoying.

I drew a sketch of him and wrote these words underneath it. "Sway to the left, sway to the right when Uncle Toad ate it was not a pretty sight." The AC kicked on and blew my napkin out of sight. Never gave it another thought until I bought "Painter".
