Sorry you feel this way Den… One of SWBMAI’s goals is to help build up the Bluegrass community. Reaching out to folks for help and getting them involved is a means to that end. The money we collect goes back into the Bluegrass community… the specifics of which are always up for debate. Your voice is welcome…

Hire a real graphic artist. What a rip off to get someone to draw you a logo for the price of a tee shirt or hat when you will use that persons art to make money.
