Hey there... As I somehow couldn't find some kind of introduction thread, I just decided to jump right into action with my first post (however "Hello from germany to all of you!"  ). I am a graphic designer and I'm planning to recreate the Lone Wolf shirt design from the golden past. This means I am manually tracing/drawing the old design resulting in a high quality vector file, scalable lossless and which could possibly be used to print shirts at a local shop or sth like that. However I only could find the picture in the "LW-Articles.pdf" found on the project's main site (see below). This picture though isn't sooo great and as such I wanted ask if anyone of you has access to a better (higher resolution, sharp close-up) picture or even has the original shirt and can take a picture of it. Besides that I would like to offer my help in any future projects involving anything graphics related... This is the picture I have from the pdf but which isn't suited so good and a better version would be extremely helpful:  |

Hello and welcome!
I would first try to get in touch with Ben Devere to see if this is something you can do. If you do only a shirt for yourself, maybe that's not a problem, but if you start offering shirts to anyone asking you, there could be a copyright infrigement. I would really recommend you to ask Ben to get the permission to produce licenced shirts first.

Thanks for your reply  I (now) see how my post could be mistaken - I don't intend to offer shirts in terms of selling. My plan was to probably print one for myself and thought that the high-quality file would be great for Project Aon to put on the site as another addition to the "Materials" section or sth like that. But you are def. right - contacting Ben Dever is surely the safest way and maybe he even has access to the old design somehow and is interested to make some kind of official old-school merchandise Do you have an idea how to contact him (I don't have facebook, twitter or any other form of social media though). |

Do you have an idea how to contact him (I don't have facebook, twitter or any other form of social media though). Well, you have access to internet, so that's a start! Try the official Lone Wolf page: magnamund.com/pages/contact |

Short update on this one... Back in october I was in contact with Ben. He has no real plans to do anything with the design but was highly interested in seeing the result. It seems that it is not sure who has the actual rights on the design (I also contacted Gary Chalk but recieved no reply until now). Anyway - the design is now finished and I hope either Ben or Gary will sometime be able to tell me if it's ok to "publish" it on Project Aon. So far for now...

Not sure how you tried contacting him, but Gary seems very active on twitter: twitter.com/garychalkpics |

I'd like to see what you created, bulletrider.
As lorddarkstorm says, how did you contact him?
If it was an email address it might be that it's an old one and no longer used? (His homepage gives garychalk@gmail.com , is that the one you tried? )
As already said, maybe try twitter - he posts a lot on there and seems to have plenty of time on his hands.

Oh, just saw your replies now, sorry... I used the email address from his homepage. Twitter might be a good idea though I have no account. However Ben wrote me that he also would try to contact him. I keep you guys updated and hope that I can show you my result sometime.
