Correct, only existing art/sets for this one.Good morning,
Just to be clear (I'm a total nubie here), this GB is NOT for new artwork?
Thanks,
Charlie
Cool, thank you. How often do GB pop up the have new art?Correct, only existing art/sets for this one.
Or, more realistically, I'll put up my 007 Villains set as available

OMG I would love a tourney set of these ..... I wish the Piz Gloria was a T25000
Do you also ship to the Netherlands?
I will defer to @Pinesol13 on a re-shipping question, but I believe the answer is yes.@dmoney so yes. Well Im down for 1000 Aria's cash chips. Breakdown follows

Hi, I gather by your comments I may have done something wrong. I’d like to know more please. Can I ask that you send me a pm about it? If not that’s ok too.Fuck it. I'm gonna say it. A noir tribute set? Please explain to me what is tribute about blatantly copying artwork made by someone who is so highly regarded in this circle without paying some kind of "tribute" in the inlay?
Even copying chips from corporations is treading a fine line. But now we're copying stuff from members here, too? This is why I'm not around anymore. Tell me his name is somewhere in this thread used in a way that would thank him for the real versions. Tell me somewhere in here is a quote from him saying he's cool with this.
100% agree with this. Definitely not cool to copy from another PCF designer without their permission.Fuck it. I'm gonna say it. A noir tribute set?

I’ll be honest, I always thought the Le Noir design was just a generic design. Even the tribute above has a different design from the original. Could be any random ornamental design on the inlay. And just putting a denomination around the edge isn’t exactly super unique. I’m all about giving credit where credit is due but, again, I really thought this was just a generic design. I imagine others think that too.Fuck it. I'm gonna say it. A noir tribute set?

Agreed that @Johnny5 is incredible. I don’t think I will personally use anyone else ever again. He’s helped bring a couple of my concepts to life and has crushed both of them.I always thought it was a design from Paulson as well, but a bit of research shows that @Johnny5 did the artwork. No surprise because his work is amazing!
I was not aware that the Noirs were designed by @Johnny5. I’ll write him a PM to apologize for any perceived attempt at ripping off his work. I will also reconsider the decision overall: maybe some design tweaks will make a more clear distinction, or perhaps I (we?) would be better off without this set being made at all.Fuck it.

I also agree with @Quicksilver-75. You are correct that I would not have ripped off an artists work knowingly, and I appreciate your saying so. @timinater also confirmed that he did not know.100% agree with this. Definitely not cool to copy from another PCF designer without their permission.
I will say that I know Dallas well enough to know that he would not knowingly do that. I suspect that he believed this was a GPI design and not one from a PCF designer. I Imagine @timinater also did not know this.
@chipinla is absolutely correct! This is not a blatant rip-off. It is, in fact a tribute. The design behind the denomination is definitely different.I’ll be honest, I always thought the Le Noir design was just a generic design.

I did send a pm earlier tonight but forgot that email is better for him. I think I have it somewhere and will follow up there too.@chipinla is absolutely correct! This is not a blatant rip-off. It is, in fact a tribute. The design behind the denomination is definitely different.
Here is the actual Noir design. What really makes the Noirs special is the mold pattern, much more than a graphic design behind the denom. And there is nothing unique about denoms written out in a circle around the inlay.

@dmoney, if I were you I would simply email John to ask for his thoughts. Explain that neither you or Tim knew that it was his work, and if he feels it's a copy of his work, then by all means let it go. John is too valuable and respected of a resource here to many of us. But he may look at it and say it's a tribute and he is fine with it. Or he might suggest changes. No way to know until you ask. Let me know if you don't have John's email address and I'll give it to you as he's not on here very much and might not see a PM right away.
