funny moment from church
coin, coin to distract attention! you smart ass)
Hundreds rose to their feet before me, hundreds of mouths opening to scream. Giving another shout, I grabbed Gabrielle’s hand and lunged towards them, leaping over the Communion rail. She gave a lovely high-pitched wail, her left hand raised as a claw as I pulled her down the aisle. Everywhere there was panic, men and women clutching for children, shrieking and falling backwards. … I reached into my pockets and showered the marble floor with gold coins.
“The devil throws money! ” someone screeched.
@i-want-my-iwtv you did it again XD We were talking about Louis and Armand in those grey times of suits and severely cropped hair and then this happened.
Armand is wearing specs to try and look a little older – with limited success, imo.
1900-20′s!Louis and Armand omg!
That’s the thing that people keep forgetting: when the gothic romance novels first came out, they were pretty punk. They were very highly charged. They were sort of improper. They were bold and overt. For lack of a better analogy, they were like the Sex Pistols of that era.
That’s the question, definitely. Where is the line?
When Shepard Fairey made his famous Obama “Hope” poster, he got in big trouble for it because he used someone’s photo for reference. He’s a street artist, though. His stuff isn’t like my stuff.
If I used the same Obama image as reference to make a realistic portrait, would it be allowed as long as I called it fanart?
People think someone like Andy Warhol got away with it, but he was sued at least three different times by the photographers whose images he used (and sometimes outright traced) to make his art.
Derivative art has forever and ever been an issue in art. Art has always been full of artists copying, stealing, taking credit for, and sabotaging each other. It’s full of forgery, theft, vandalism, and appropriation. Sometimes they get away with it. Sometimes they don’t.
At what point do we say, “I don’t need to give credit”?
Sometimes, even as I’m drawing, I try to see that line. If my art weren’t realistic, would copying be an issue? How exact do I have to be before the lines I’m making are no longer mine? Will this line right here that I’m drawing be what loses me a lawsuit? Who knows?
The fact that Lestat is actually a dog person makes me so happy you dont even know
