OK, seeing as the real thing is leaking now - and there is nothing I can do about that - I think its time I stepped up and owned up to this. Its been fun.

When the first tool scans leaked I saw an opportunity, it started as a game, a bit of fun because I didn't for one second think anyone would buy what I was doing. But you did. Lots of you did, so I went further, I did more. Im flattered by all of you who debated my shit, whether you liked it or not. I'de like to apologize to all the people who may have been staring into computer screens believing the following images to be stereoscopic, they are not - but you know what they say; "lie to yourself enough and it becomes truth" - im flattered.

I'de also like to add that Tool are a fucking great band. I didn't do this to rip them off. I did it out of curiosity, nothing more.

Right, now I know there will be the inevitable doubters out there, so I better set about proving myself, along with a bit of shameless self promotion.

The first image, the ark;

Thank you, its the only one i spent a legitimate amount of time on, the other two were put together quickly out of old work I had done. I created the "lastleak.jpg" as soon as I heard the lyrics to Vicarious. In regards to the previous two I was more curious to see if i could fake a "scan" to match the previous leaks, as such i just used old artwork. The third was definatly an exception.

Not to sound like an asshole, but I was hesitant on believing the three you put out. They just seemed so different from the stuff that leaked beforhand. Fun was definetely had, as you fooled a lot of us.
