No current (2012) “web artist” can or should claim ownership over “sea-punk” 80’s Trapper Keeper/PC screen-saver aesthetic. Like every other genre of art/design it has and will continue to be appropriated for financial gain and exposure to the masses by people other than the works creators. If you aren’t smart enough to capitalize off of it then you need to find another job as the creative hustle isn’t for you.
