It was actually part of an entire pirates PR package, and yours was included in reference materials with the studio. Feel free to go look in the Disney archives library. At no point, in the archives, was any credit given. Out of respect for your artistry, I have deleted it. you can file whatever you wish. I will be contacting Disney legal directly and let them know the situation. Merchandise reference* And you are with Valve up in Bellevue? 个
