Welcome to the Pirate Art Institute

"Aaarh, Ye be welcome to the Pirate Art Institute"
How many ways can you COPY this pirate? When we
were kids we would see this art school ad in the back
of magazines. "Can you draw this pirate?" or some other
bit of cutesy art. "Then enroll today  and have a future as
a commercial artist, bla-bla-bla..."

When my brother and I had a print shop back in the late
'80's, it became a running joke early on. Customers would
bring us totally crappedout art, or ask for art that we didn't
have, or to infringe on copyrights in a questionable manner.  
The Pirate Art Institute to the rescue!  
We would clip, photocopy, photograph, trace, or redraw,  
then shoot a transparency, use it to expose a screen, and
finally silkscreen  print it in [hopefully] vast quantities.  
Whatever it took to make a buck.

Anything but FAX!
We refused to install fax service because at least 1
customer a week would want to fax their art to us.
No, nope, nu-uh, don't do it.  Most fax looked
terrible on a good day.  Imagine what it would do
to the aforementioned already crapped out art.
