So, I got a semianonymous mail today via the site today from someone saying:

"way to rip off sheone for your header graphic. you're pathetic."

So, I googled a bit, and found Sheone. And, hey, the guy's really good, and I can see why someone could think he was an influence on the style of mediapathic, but frankly I'd never heard of him before today. athough now I wish I had. Also, from an artistic perspective, what he's doing is totally different from what I am (for one thing, he's doing with spray and brush what I have to use illustrator for - mad props for that), he's got a radically different sense of aesthetic. It's like saying that I rip off gutenberg just because we both use type. Yeah, there's some of the same elements (again, totally unconsciously), but we're doing completely different things with it. Like two people can't independantly arrive at the conclusion that linear spattered paint looks cool.

So, in conclusion, Sheone is awesome, This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it is an asshat, and everything old is new again.

But hey, my first detractor!
