I totally agree. We have a small clothing line called Illa-Strationz. which can be found at Illastrationz.com . We actually pressed 100 shirts that payed tribute to Dilla and we donated some of the money to the J Dilla foundation at Jdilla.org . We did not get permission to do the shirt. I just really liked the illustration the Blokt designed and I wanted it on a shirt for myself and some friends. I wound up distributing the 100 shirts to various respected companies that are known for supporting the artists in posative ways like Undergroundhiphop.com and Mooseshirts.com . I do not plan on repressing that design and I have never heard back from the Foundation about the shirt but I did everything in my power to make sure they knew about it and I hope they at least liked the design. I do not support bootlegging in any shape. I feel the artists should get whats theres and I have nothing but respect for Dilla, his family and the people at Stones Throw
