Folks,

Tony Doy did a wonderful drawing for me and finally getting around to putting something on some clothing. What are your thoughts? Thinking this on the back and maybe just my website written small somewhere.

Thoughts?Attached Image

Artists have a copyright to their work as I understand it, even without filing copyright protection paperwork. If you know the artist get their approval to use the art and work out an arrangement for any proceeds.

In regard to authoring a book...

As soon as you have written it down you have an "implied" copyright.

Not sure about a drawing but it's probably the same...

While this works OK in the United States, and you have rights that a court of law will uphold it's not the same all over the world.

If someone in another country wants to copy your work, you are basically screwed.

Fighting a copyright claim in China appears to be impossible...

I used to compete at a place called Freaking News. When you compete your work becomes property of the artist and Freaking News. I found a few of my pieces being offered by t-shirt websites. They would ask if I had a copyright. I would tell them that Freaking News does. They would pull it off their site.

Putting a copyright notice on it helps protect the content. Include year and name.

If you end up doing stickers I need some new ones for my storage cabinet. When I moved I junked my old cheap MDF one. This is all I have so far.

If you pay someone to do original art for you then it's yours. Think business logos. Like how engineers get paid to do their jobs and the company owns it.

But, I barely see a 914 in that art, and likely nobody outside of 914s would identify it.

It’s funny you said that, to me it was obviously the tail end of a 914. Then I looked again, after reading your post, and it started to look like the front end of a mustang.

I wonder what normal (non 914 people) see it as.

I don't think Rax intent was a mean criticism he was expressing a point that art is about individual interpretation. to us it's the back end of a 914-6 to others it could be the front end of another car

That looks great and is definitely the rear end of a 914-6 GT. I’m not able to see the front end of a Mustang.

I'd be in for a long sleeve black or dark blue tee, if you end up offering those as an option. I think it looks pretty cool.....and let's face it, you could put an actual photo of a 914 on a shirt and, unless it was badged, half the population wouldn't know what it is. That's part of the charm.
