I recall a product design class I had in college where we were supposed to draw our car - during class, quickly, with no reference image. Homework was to go home and draw the car while sitting in front of it. It was an eye-opening exercise for me. I've learned that my mental image of things is often distorted. (Like I said, I'm not a great artist.) If I want to make sure I get hand positions correctly, I have someone pose for me, or I take a photo of someone posing for me, and reference it. Is that not allowed?
Your own image is fine. But there are a million pics of the Golden Gate bridge. You will have a hard time making a drawing that would not look like one of them--even one you took--so come up with something else or be prepared to discuss it a lot.
And for those wondering why shirts lower in the fog are less scrutinized...it has nothing to do with the artist or a threat. Shirts below 100+ votes will not print, so why bother? Pretty much every artist who fogs has been subject to drama. Good competitors accept it and move on, either correcting or not.

I do understand your concerns though, I'll know for next time. Derby=Stressful blegh :/
The difference between your shirt and the Mario shirts is they aren't directly traced like this image obviously is. It's not surprising you don't understand this since you were defending the exact same thing in the Eye washer thread. You can use a reference. You can't trace. Reference = your own. Tracing = you're a thieving fink.
