....howdy all....

....just a note cos ppl have mentioned that it's a shame my pics aren't bigger....well, the thing is they are...i just upload littler ones cos it would otherwise take a friggin lifetime for them to upload...woohoo for the bodgy slow as feck modem connection...with multi users...nice....

...anyways, enjoy....comments, as always, appreciated....

...whats the opinion of the general peoples with regard to appropriation...?

...did dali get permission from da vinci to mess with his mona lisa....?

....or is that right forfeithed because the man's dead...?

...or is it ok because we all recognise the mona lisa as not being dali's original....

...the mona lisa is one of the most recognised artworks of all time and at the same time it is the most appropriated piece...

...i understand the need for copyright....but sometimes it goes too far...

....nothing is new...everything is old....it's all been done before...

...in which case should we always state our exact and individual sources...

...why is it not a problem when people take characters, such as the famous manga ones and place them in their images then display them on dev art....without acknowledgement of the original artist...

...when is it ok....when is it not....

...if i used a work that was not mine....and played with it so as to make it something else...using text and paint or photo manip...when does the artwork become mine...and when is it someone elses?

....when does art die....?
