Im just adding into the recent post about being broke....
I did this board design for a company named GFH boards recently and they refused payment due to thinking i livetraced the entire design in a couple hrs and added random details afterwards... when in all reality i spent three days and over 20 hrs making it from scratch with a deadline of 2 days and a price of 300 dollars as my payment i never recieved... anyone that knows a long board company, please show them this cause i hate for it to go to waste. Is it a "livetraced" photo? You be the judge.
