Critics Review
“A masterclass in how creative workers can transform the endless, low-grade seething about the endless ripoffs of the industry into something productive and even profound.“–CORY DOCTOROW
“As someone who’s more than familiar with being ripped off myself, this book was a cathartic, juicy read. I feel this book! I highly recommend it to every illustrator, photographer, designer—and client.” —GARY TAXALI
“Raymond Biesinger has wittily compiled a veritable police blotter’s worth of instances when he was ripped off—and he sprinkles in some useful non-rip-off related business tips for creatives throughout the text as an added bonus!” —STEVEN GUARNACCIA
“I am relieved and delighted to not be one of the subjects of this book! Biesinger breaks the taboo in illustration of speaking openly about money and theft, and we are all the better for it.” —MELISSA BUCHANAN
