Keychopping is when the keys of a typewriter are removed (for jewelry/ other crafts) and the rest of it usually thrown away. There are many sets of keys being sold on eBay and etsy, which is a pity because sometimes they are taken off working typewriters.Adwoahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00457285629002149759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6021475418975786274.post-2676301138806743052012-03-14T10:38:48.320+01:002012-03-14T10:38:48.320+01:00You're becoming famous!

Glad you managed to steer clear of litigation. That's a direct derivative of your photo and constitutes a rights infringement. The term 'painted digitally from scratch' is misleading.
