Shamanic

I don't know about you but I am feeling a little bit shamanic. So much so, that the fat cat entrepreneurial spirit has entered my body and forced me to put another T shirt on the market. I have been a right little shit with this one by taking a photograph of graffiti art that I took of a wall in Shoreditch, London in 2015, slapped the word Shaman on the top of it and Bob's your Uncle, £17.50 in yer back pocket guvnor. Next thing you know I'll have a stall down Petticoat Lane selling apples and pears. Now I am going to use this blog post to ask for the graffiti artist to step forward. I haven't sold any of the beauties below yet but if I do I want to make sure that the Graffiti/Wall Artist is remunerated or at least acknowledged if it turns out to be a Banksy. I have cheated. I have taken somebody else's work and slapped it on a product and am trying to sell it for profit but I ain't no Sir Phillip Green. 



It's not the first time I have been caught doing this type of thing. The last time I took a photograph of some graffiti art in Sevenoaks Park, Grangetown, Cardiff and stuck it on the front of a slim volume of poetry. No credit given to the artist then either because again I didn't know who they were. 


The profits from both enterprises thus far are negligible but if you are reading this and you fancy supporting an Indy Writer & T Shirt Entrepreneur I will endeavor to recompense the above Wall Artists if they can make themselves known to me. I would like to apologise to them for using their work without permission but my defence would be that they are too good just to be left up on a wall. They need a wider audience. They might not get that with me but at least I am trying. A conscience is a terrible thing I tell you!
