...thanks m'luv...I really like Dio's "Come play at...." design...just need a small logo for the left breast, and I would like to have the user names imprinted as well, it's an easy way of "introduction"...though, the way I am-anybody that LOOKS like a SKMB member is gonna get bear hugs...so there may be some taken aback random strangers...
...actually, either those or the axe would work for the left breast logo....How about the crossed Roque mallets, with King Kon 2016?
...what about a "Dogman" logo on the shirt?...just the right amount of "twisted"...
Unfortunately, if we go the route of putting it on Stephen's official store through CafePress and/or Zazzle, we'd have to stay away from copyrighted images.
...how do we know which are copyrighted, and which ones are allowable?.....
Any image taken from the movie is copyrighted, book jacket illustrations would be as well.
...so we need a skilled artist to create a design then....which would be acceptable I presume, as long as it's not based off of copyrighted images....
Generally speaking that would be the case--can't say with 100% certainty without seeing it.
...then if someone can whip up an illustration based on an aspect of the story that hasn't been done to death, we should be cool and groovy....like the firehose or the elevators, the actual animals from the topiary etc....Generally speaking that would be the case--can't say with 100% certainty without seeing it.
I think that should be okay.
Would the roque mallets or crossed axes be copyrighted images? I mean, they're objects that were in the movie, but are they copyrighted images FROM the movie?
...there you go artists in residence!...the mission is now clear...
The phrase "Taking our medicine at the 2016 King Kon" just popped into my head.
That shouldn't be a problem as it's not taking an image directly from the movie like a screen shot would.
Yay! So those are still on the table. Thanks!
Personally, if it was going through the Stephen King, website I wouldn’t use any image taken off the internet, even images not from the movie. There are rules that allow you to manipulate an image and not run afoul of copyright laws, but they’re complicated. And I’m sure we don’t want there to by any possibility of a hassle for King. If the shirts were made elsewhere for a small run and not sold for profit, you would probably be fine. But to offer them through stephenking.com you must be very careful. The one I did with the axe is okay, and the two below would be okay, as I created them myself without any image captures. But I’d stay away from all the others I presented. (note: the text the first one below is copyrighted, but I doubt King would mind in this case
