In every Thistle, I will see you.

Katie Forever

Outside World's Faire Gallery, Providence, RI. Katie Forever. /ThistleThistle. Today was the opening gallery of Katie Greenwood Ross's celebration of life. She was a wonderfully whimsical person. Super funny. Down to earth. Handmade gremlin. And loved by so many that attended tonight.

Fuck cancer.

Ren-faire styled dress. Handmade by Katie, including embroidered back. Little blurry. My phone camera tried.

Thank you really-kind-person-on-Reddit for standing up to the MOD comment that also skirts ethics by saying "its not monetized or simply they they don't have time, etc."

Artists don't have time for this. There are plenty of posts with just words submitted. Good job! Those are your ideas! Do that!

As a follow-up for artists that do want examples of a license, I offer this one that covers purchases of my commercial stock art. If you want to borrow it in whole or in part for your own license needs, please do. johnlattaart.com/stock-art-co...

This isn't a thing in any creative circles, ever. The only time you don't need to talk to an artist about using their work in your publication is if you buy their stock art, which comes with a license that covers a conversation about rights, usage. This person's explanation is extra ripe bullshit.

NO. IT. IS. NOT.

Thank you.

That comment was oddly deleted too.

Allie Briggs @alliebriggsart.bsky.social · 3d

Removed "just the cover"

Allie Briggs @alliebriggsart.bsky.social · 3d

Super sus***

Allie Briggs @alliebriggsart.bsky.social · 3d

Oh super system! There was a comment deleted too.

Someone saying "great cover" and then the OP thanking that person for helping them. That person is connected to a homebrew Patreon.

With "original art."

Hard to tell if people asked for permission. The subreddit rules don't give me green flags though

From what a few folks mentioned to me... this subreddit is littered with bad practice.

Allie Briggs @alliebriggsart.bsky.social · 3d

New things discovered.

New headaches unlocked.

Allie Briggs @alliebriggsart.bsky.social · 3d

Grumble. Grumble.

They could at least ask.

Allie Briggs @alliebriggsart.bsky.social · 3d

Also..... Ask 😭

Why is it so hard?

Allie Briggs @alliebriggsart.bsky.social · 3d

Isn't to say it's any better.

But the artist got paid and are no longer attached to rights (usually). Going after individuals just feels like "I can try this with zero risk and fear of repercussions."

Booooooo. I don't like wild wild west 😖 its already hard enough as is to survive.

I've known folks to use corporate art. Like mtg/dnd since it isn't owned by the artists anymore. Which is, poking the bear risk of lawyers if they decide the other person is a problem.

I have discovered they were referring to the subreddit rules.

Which, of course, do not have any weight over copyright law.

BUT! If they asked permission first and weren't advertising for kofi donations using mine and other people's art to promote themselves, I probably would have shrugged it off.

My Bronze Dragon & Dragonborn Gunslinger are by far my most stolen images.

Although a lot are for at home use, which is fine. I only hear about those at shows when people express that it added to their game visuals. It's never in a "hey support me via kofi - hey i used this image to get traction."

Allie Briggs @alliebriggsart.bsky.social · 3d

So what you're saying is that we're both going to go on barbarian rampage? XD

Allie Briggs @alliebriggsart.bsky.social · 3d

Yup!

Who knows. Could be benefit of the doubt, been told the wrong thing. But like you said. There is stock art available. There are sooooo many other options they had to choose from.

Idk my 7 years in the biz obviously means I don't know enough.

Allie Briggs @alliebriggsart.bsky.social · 3d

There are a ton of free resources! And many artists have things readily available. Hell! So many of us are happy to help an idea that we line up with, but asking first is important!
