First things first.

We had vibrant comment traffic under the Davos Dog Fight post last night. Today I took all of the Dogs of Finance images and put them on one poster board. I laugh at this every time I look at it!

All of the above images are viewable by searching the right column of my blog (williambanzai7.blogspot.com). 

Next up...I consider myself extremely fortunate to have an audience of viewers who have been patiently but tenaciously requesting that I put my works up on an online store. This involves a great deal of work and I am also fortunate to have had a very competent individual volunteer to handle all of the image processing and web design that is involved with this expanded endeavor.  

Today I am officially opening the Banzai7 Zazzle store (www.zazzle.com/williambanzai7). We are still in the upload and rollout process. But I wanted to launch this week because I sense people are getting impatient. We are designing products using all of the images posted here, on my blog and elsewhere. The store selection consists of original works that are free of intellectual property issues. The product mix will constantly update to current events.

All parody images derived from copyrighted works remain posted on my blog. It is my opinion that these fall under the parody exception of the copyright laws. However, we are not offering these commercially.

All Banzai7 images will remain freely downloadable and available for personal use and reposting provided proper attribution is given to WilliamBanzai7. As I have said on many occasions, my primary mission is to spread the messages depicted in my images. So I encourage all of you to propagate as much of it as it you can through your own personal network of contacts.   

There are plans to create a direct mailing channel of distribution for other works on the drawing board such as a coffee table book, playing cards and other spicier or controversial items restricted for distribution by Zazzle. 

Zero Hedge is now my main posting platform. I will also continue to post all of the images on my blog which also links back to the related ZH posts.  Additionally, as I announced recently, I am now broadcasting on twitter (@williambanzai7). I am broadcasting all of my posts, interesting links and images (spicy as well as dicey) I come across as well as images I improvise and create on the fly. I have decided to open messaging from twitter followers so you can communicate ideas to me directly. This will also come in very handy when the iPhone riots begin. Please note that I am not watching my twitter feed minute by minute 24/7.

Once again I want to express my sincere appreciation to ZH and its readers for your continued support and inspiration. I really do try to pay attention to everything everyone says.  Remember what Jake and Elwood Blues said: "We [not the Squids] are on a mission from God." 

I will close this message with the new Banzai7 Credo ("Art That Strikes Back!") and Fight Slogan ("Throw It Right Back At The Fuckers!").

BTW, have you seen the latest issue of...
