Most of us, despite of our age, are still into cartoons and fairy tales. And what can be more relaxing than recalling the good old days with our favorite Disney characters. Because of this overrated appreciation, we might as well think of making the all-time favorite truly timeless through oil paintings.
Before getting that palette and mixing all those paints, ask yourself – Is it possible to legally create oil paintings for sale using Trademark objects/characters as subjects? The direct answer would be NO.
Think about copyright and trademark laws. There have been court cases brought by some corporations for unauthorized use of their characters — even when there was no intent to collect a profit. How much more if you are trying to make money out of the oil paintings you will sell? The reasons actually go beyond this reason but the bottom line is if you are a true blooded artist, let your thoughts run wild. Think of something original and do something original.
