Try this: I'm sorry to say this but I must deny your request to use my work for your application, I create my work for personal use, not commercail piloting, if you would like to discuss purchasing a custom icon suite for your application, I would be happy to discuss this matter with you further, howvere if not I am sorry but no.

I always said the truth, make it yourself, you'll feel better and more proud about it.

Thanks!

To which one of us?

Yes!

lol... I sense that to be a cerebro quote.

There really is no good way to say no. No matter how it's phrased, the NO part is what they are gonna hear.

If it is an application, tell them they can use it all they like as long asn they pay you enough to put your 3 kids through college

The solution is simple...but keep it to yourself.....[don't want too many people using it].

Simply explain that the skin in question was done in homage to a dear departed son/daughter [your choice] and it would not be proper to associate it with something 'commercial'.

Lateral thinking [deviousness] is best....

That's not funny, Jafo. It really is dedicated to my departed son, Marc.





(Hey, you're right, that is fun!)

Here is one that never fails

Hello [Name of the person]
Thank you for your interest on my work. I really would like to grant you permission to use my work, but the voices in my head keep saying NO
