This is just to inform all Lute listers that, due to popular demand, I have
now scanned in reasonable quality versions of many of my Lute cartoons that
were originally drawn for Clifford Bartlett's Early Music Review, and posted
them on this page of our day-job website:
www.romanglassmakers.co.uk/david.htm
Some of these gags have been circulating already, in varying quality (I
found out about this when an acquaintance sent me one, unaware that I had
drawn it), so I thought I'd make them available for the refrigerators, lute
cases and notice boards of the lute playing world, FREE of charge.
If you are sad enough to find any of these amusing, please feel free to
copy, print and use them, though if you wish to include any of them in a
publication, as greetings cards or even print them onto T shirts (as has
happened already!) sending a brief note to me would be nice, just to let me
know where and how you'd like to use it. I probably won't charge for it, but
all I ask is, please respect my intellectual property - don't change the
captions (I get enough of that from Clifford!), even if you DO think of an
even funnier one; don't alter details of them in Photoshop (I will happily
re-draw and send you any cartoon if you want it to resemble your
duo/lute/banjo consort or whatever), so please get in touch before being
tempted to fiddle about!
If anyone would like a better quality scan or a coloured version, please let
me know, and I'll always do my best to oblige.
Oh, and if you don't get a particular gag, just let me know!
Best Wishes,
David
PS Yes, I do know that the shape of Weiss' lute case is completely wrong.
I'm not Vermeer.
PPS Feel free to look at the glass pages, too!
