I don't know who has a perceived reliance on Kirk's artwork but to my knowledge,
none of the people who have actually done t-shirts in the past (myself, Jason,
Charles) have used any of Kirk's artwork. Though I did use Kirk's artwork to
make the beer labels, with permission, mostly out of convenience and timetable..
In the past, I'd contracted an illustrator to do custom artwork for a t-shirt
project and was contracting her to do a more flexible custom Daemon for which
I still have the Illustrator files... She turned into a flake however and I
lost track of her...
Some of her work can be seen on my stupid homepage: www.beer.org.

This is also false. Theo and I sat in a pub one night shooting ideas at
A mutual friend who produced the graphic in front of us. Theo did the first
run of "Iwo Daemon" shirts before 1995 Usenix.
You might consider checking your facts before basing a line of reasoning
on them.
