Stuff for "Creatives" and whatnot..

So if I made a sketch of Gateshead Town Hall and made t-shirts with it on, would they be able to stop me? Seems like it's the same thing. It's my own representation of a public thing in a public space. -
I'm not overly hot on this, but I think it's an issue as to the rights of the likeness. New York, for instance probably has lawyers who's sole job is to stop people making stuff with the Statue of Liberty on it.
I'm sure someone here has a firmer grasp on these things than me, though; it may well be to do with whether they're generating revenue from the likeness or not. -

Send messageThe worse case is that you will get a cease and desist letter that generally gives you 60 days to, erm, cease and desist. Seeing as you are selling a likeness of something that must be 'owned' by somebody I think you could be on sticky ground but you aren't going to end up being financially penalised or sent to prison so I'd say just go ahead and worry about the consequences after.
Obviously the above advice is based on you not using this image as the sole foundation of your enterprise. -
Cheers gentlemen. I'll just do it and see what happens.

Macaw is out apparently, anyone had a play? -
Can I ask for a bit more advice re. my question above.
In a few weeks a new artistic landmark is opened to the public. The Kelpies (Google them... I can't do links with my mobile ) are massive horses head sculptures. I quite fancy cashing in on this by selling prints and teeshirt of my illustrations of these.
I could do this by getting them printed and marketing them myself or it has been suggested I try and work a deal with the local community trust that owns and operates the Kelpies. They could use my design for a cut of the profits.
Any of you have any experience with this kind of thing? -
Further update.
Contacted local Community Trust. They won't be producing merchandise until 2015 because that's when the giftshop opens! What's that? Is that the sound of a boat being missed. The place opens in three weeks to a fanfare of publicity. Idiots.
Did further digging re copyright... seems like I'm in the clear to do what the fuck I like with my 2D representation of a public artwork.
I now need a decent t-shirt screenprinter. Any suggestions?
or
A entry level DIY screenprinting kit sub £200 so I could do my own screenprinting and cut out the middleman. Any suggestions? -
Moto does printing doesn't he? -
If it's silk screen printing, can't recommend these guys highly enough (they did the MD print and will be doing the GameCube one too) -

i'll send em an email.
I'm still swithering about just investing a few hundred quid in a decent tabletop screenprinting kit and making a go of it. It's like that old saying about giving a man a fish etc. If' i'm spending £200-300 getting a batch of tees made then I'm just keeping someone else in business. If I do it for myself then I'm starting my own business. I'm currently inbetween jobs right now anyway. -
Guessing some of yous might like some of these.

I was thinking more the message rather than the aesthetics.
-
Haha fair enough - the word poster threw me as it suggest they're actual, real things.

I should've probably have put the link from the work fred in this one."Better than a tech demo. But mostly a tech demo for now. Exactly what we expected, crashes less and less. No multiplayer."

Today I had a client saying she wasn't sure about a table top in a render I had done.
It was off white and changed to pale grey. She was looking at a jpg on a blackberry while driving around Brighton. -

Been obsessed with Fez recently, so put a poster design together —

That's excellent. Captures the character, art design and general essence of the game. -
Thanks mate - had wanted to do something sooner but I hadn't played enough of the game to warrant it!

That last concept piece is also class.

3d printing in the palm of your hand, why let the technology come between you and the creative process. Just wow really
