Disney is stingy

All throughout these free blog post I have talked about the art world and how it relates to the topics we discuss in class or the articles we read.  I wanted to point out in this one that even in art it is necessary to cite contributions outside of your own.  I have run across this in many different media but especially in the case of printmaking and bookbinding.  There are cases in both these media where one might have occasion to include a picture or the words of some one else. As an artist it is your job to give that person credit.  There have been cases in which artist have been sued for using a trademark or slogan from a company in their art.  Point being citation is not only necessary but in some cases it can save you a lot of time and hassle.  One word of warning though if you are considering using anything Walt Disney ever dreamt up JUST DON”T DO IT!
