So, I got "Weird Al: The Book" (a coffee-table
book about the life and career of, obviously, "Weird Al" Yankovic) for
Christmas, only then to discover that MY CARICATURE OF AL IS USED IN THE
BOOK!
They
put out the call quite some time ago for anyone who had any Al-themed
artwork to send it in for consideration to be included in the book, with
the warning that there would be no remuneration and possibly no credit
given. I didn't care. I sent
mine in just for the possibility of getting the thrill of seeing my
artwork in a book about "Weird Al" Yankovic. I never heard back from
them, so I assumed they hadn't used it. Then, when I was flipping
through the book on Christmas Day, I spotted it there (Top right corner
of page 185, if you all want to check it out in your own copies). I
freaked out a little. The credits at the back of the book list the names
of a few other more prominently-featured artists, followed by "and
others who contributed artwork on pages..." and then a list of page
numbers. So I'm an "other".
