This is off-topic & personal = living in San Franc, we do what we want when we want (gay marriage, pot clubs, etc.). I've felt lately that I've developed a bit of arrogance when communicating, so apologized. It's a growing process to become a nicer person. > Be careful of using corporate images or names. Years ago a vegetarian diner used the name "McDharmas" & McDonalds sued them & won. I had a letter published in papers saying we should ALL add "Mc" to our names ! > I'll check later to see if I'm able to post a few of my paintings. This is a fun site. > Thx.

As you can probably tell from my own artwork, I'm a believer (though not in the Pope, per se...), but I certainly don't expect everyone who reads this blog to be one! In our own ways, we all like to make people think. Let's keep the dialog going! :-) Tony, I didn’t hear from anyone that they were offended.

I like to make people think thru my art. Oh, I just loved the idea of dressing my friends in costumes and blurring the image before using it. That's a great idea ! Hi,

The prices are quite reasonable - well worth the peace of mind. Then you can be absolutely certain you are not violating some artist's copyright.

Yeah, you pretty much need to either take his picture yourself, or find sources that are copyright free, or buy the rights to use one. Or you can get a friend to dress up in the costume, take the picture from an odd angle, and blur it enough so that people just *think* it's the pope. That works for me :-) Pictures of public figures is a whole other can of worms!

Will I have to meet the Pope & take his photo, in order to make art about his latest list of 7 "new sins"? Now I'll have to do a lot more research for photos, but I'm very thankful for this info. I don't want to jailed for using someone's photo of a frog or something !

Really spot on. One more good thing to know. There are digital graphic sites like Scrap Girls which sell commercially licensed versions of some of their products. These products are things like templates and styles rather than finished designs. They are wonderful graphic design tools. Excellent article Cyndi! Really spot on.
