Ok this one is a bit out there, so stick with me. For the unitiated, tumblr is the depressed gay artists website that yahoo drove into the ground by banning porn [its core content creators] sexy starving artists etc etc. ive been on there like, more than 10 years, and im finally getting around to really scoping the place out. In the course of creating this space here on lemmy, the thought occurred: 'hey, these artists are in a rough spot, id love to commission work from them, have a backlog of stuff to do, but also I am in a very similar situation.' ... 'idea, find the artists that don't know what to draw, and just tell them the things id like to commission art of'. so that is how i got to perusing the #Art Block, tag on my favorite microblogging site. 10/10 can recommend.

TLDR what if we, go to the depressed gay artists site, and cheer them up a bit or something. Do you think they will drop art like a side quest? Yes 100% that is exactly how it works anyone can do it.

hmm..perhaps just pitching tumblr here a bit. its pretty straightforward. use reblogs like how you would likes and likes how you would bookmarks. talk to people if you want, #you can talk in the tags, #like this. make sure to change your profile picture right away. there is a bot problem. oh and be liberal with the block button. see aforementioned bot problem.

the library of congress is an excellent resource everyone should be familiar with. they have even picked out some set from their collection that are all copyright free and available for commercial reuse.

what do you think about that, by the way? is commercial reuse a requirement for inclusion in this space?

its 40 bipedal dinosaurs and they all look like this:

If exactly 1 (one) person says something to the effect of, 'yeah do that', I'll just go ahead and post here every so often even though the spelling is off.

Micky Mouse is, as of this year, in the public domain. Although the walt disney corporation still owns the name as a trademark. These have slightly different rules and last forever. The way that it was explained to me is that you cannot use the name 'micky mouse' in the title, but besides that, he's ours.

Initial concerns about the distinctness of original micky mouse from later iterations, have not born out. All major design elements are present from the beginning. Red shorts, hat/no hat, gloves. Its good to reuse and revise designs. Now we can get back to that, with literally a century of specifically disney writing american laws over this particular character.

Goodness,

also welcome to the space
