Believe It or Not! I recently remembered I did a job for BP in the early 90's (before their change of logo and "green" policies). It was a wrap-art for a boxed set of mini-books of Winnie the Pooh. I put it on my drawing table, went to grab a coffee and when I returned...voilá! Oil spilling all over! Anybody knows a good lawyer?
