eriksenglishrose Report post Posted August 24, 2006 I was just wanting some advice from my fellow gals really. I had a meeting today with my soon to be Art Tutor and she was telling me about the topic's and project's that i would cover in my course. For our end of year exibition we can submit a portrait and we can choose anyone as long as they are an inspiration to us. I've always wanted to paint Mr B and the drawing i did of him that is in the gals gallery is the reason i was accepted onto my course, so i thought it only fitting that my end project should be of him too. I know it might be strange to say i want to ask permission, but as my work will be on public display in the glass gallery at college, i thought it would be courteous to do so. I was wondering if i should PM Tonya if possible or would it be better to go through International Creative Management. Hope i don't sound completely nuts and i'm sure he would be ok with it, but i wouldn't want to presume or do anything to offend him. Any ideas gals, With Respect Simone x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fiona64 Report post Posted August 24, 2006 Laws differ in the UK from the US. Over here, you cannot really get into issues unless you are trying to profit from someone's image without having their signed release. I think that sketches and paintings for school would fall under "fair use," just like doing a dramatic scene for theatre class without having to pay the royalty since it's for educational purposes. Again, the laws here are different, but that seems logical to *me.* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
