Is it considered "bad" to use pre-existing photos as source material for art? Depends on your outlook www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2012/sep/07/shepard-fairey-sentenced-obama-hope-posterI seem to recall, through a foggy memory, a shit storm over graffiti print's martin whatson's 'en pointe' release. Someone on UAA contacted the original photographer/photographer's son and money eventually changed hands. Apparently. You can probably still find the thread. If you haven't been banned. |

Grow a pair, take no prisoners, use what you want, get your message out there and shake the establishment to its very core.

don't know of the law elsewhere, but in the US, if you've changed the original image to substantionally have a different meaning and context, then you're ok.... as for ethics and morals, that's a whole other story and should be judged on a by-case basis, IMO

You live in Leeds. Remember 'Arrods, in the market? That the one that was forced to change its name? Yes. Turned up in this parliamentary report into counterfeiting (halfway through para 565) publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm199899/cmselect/cmtrdind/380/9051809.htmAnyway, they changed the name to 'Arabs' and used to wear Fezs. Brill. Isn't there a Morrisinghs as well? There was a chippy called Harry Ramadans and a computer shop called Mike O'Soft. He got busted for selling pirate copies of Windows. True story. |

The original photo is a good image and Fairey has, by moving the bespectacled copper in from the left given ita greater sense of threat and claustrophobia. However, that additional truncheon is ridiculous, completely unnecessary...
