The other quibble that maybe bugs Darren is the face you used. It looks

I am simply aghast that someone created an *imitation* Comic Sans

Then again, I don't know which I dislike more - Comic Sans or the
people who go on and on about how they hate it. ;-)
I hate comic sans. Chalkboard is slightly better, but it's still a silly font.
As far as being an imitation goes, that's true of many, many fonts. Futura is
an imitation of Helvetica, Minion Pro is a copy of Times, but that didn't stop
Mercedes from using it. In any case, I didn't get to choose here.
knowledge of fonts from the font of knowledge.
anyways, I didn't mention earlier that I quite liked the photo. As a
standalone photo I might have tweaked the composition a bit (come in
tighter etc), but that wouldn't have left space for the text.
Paul Miles isn't hip or dialed-in to current culture. He's just a good
musician, who has always done his own thing.
If he wants chalkboard, he gets chalkboard.
