Anonymous: Hello! I've just found your blog, and immediately recognized your art! It's really cute and bubbly :0!!! One thing I'd like to say, though, is that I've seen your art on other social media. Pinterest, as an example, has a huge collection of your Steven Universe gifs (if you haven't known already). They pop up right at the top if you search "Steven Universe". Just to let you know; that's all!

Hiya! and thanks! :D

Yeah don’t worry about it, I’ve seen my work reposted all over the place :\ gets a bit hard to moderate after a while. I can’t seem to find the board on Pinterest you’re talking about, but as long as they’re pinning my post and not a repost it’s all good!

I’m aware that one of those sites that looks like tumblr but isn’t has reposted my stuff as well, got it bookmarked somewhere…if you find a pin or repost that doesn’t link back to me or someone is claiming it as theirs then let me know and I’ll handle it!

…also as a general note I prefer not to have my stuff reposted :| seen people repost my stuff when they can’t find the original one…

Anonymous: Hi there! I really wanna start selling some art but like fan art of SU and such so I was wondering what do you have to go through to sell copyrighted materials?

Hiya!…and uh…nothing? you can sell what you like but you have to be aware of potential copyright infringement and the responsibilities if it arises. Some IP owners are quite happy for fans to sell their work, whereas others are very strict about it.

…yeah this is a big topic…and one I had to study in high school a bit…so uh.

As an example, I know Valve is strict about this. I had some of my Magical Portal parody designs up on RedBubble, all of which have been removed…except for the potato one…they’re happy for fans to create anything they want, as long as no profit is made.

I’ve heard of some companies who are quite happy for fans to do whatever, but the IP is technically owned by a larger company who does not approve. Can’t remember which though…

Some companies that own IPs are fine with it as long as you aren’t making massive amounts of money off it that threaten them, or pawning off your own stuff as official.

Then there’s the topic of appropriation, which is making reference to or parodying something. Back to my Magical Portal things, I thought they were close enough to parody, but evidently not. If I remember right, those pop-culture shirt design sites work like this. It comes under parody and the selling is limited.

Appropriation is a thin line between theft and parody, if done correctly it is an artistic statement and is generally fine to sell. If your work bares too much resemblance to the original work it is copying or theft.

I’m not sure what the SU crew’s stance is on this, or CN’s. I know they’ve been given stuff by fans who have also been selling stuff…but that doesn’t mean anything :\

IN SUMMARY…it’s a really weird and complex subject and doesn’t have a straight answer. For SU stuff I’d say you’re fine? but if it’s suddenly found that either the SU crew or CN are against it then be prepared to remove all of your related items from sale. So go ahead, but be aware of the nature of fan art sales :O
