So I learned a hard lesson today. My buddy Rusty over in FB land made me aware of something ( Thanks man) I messed up lol!!!! Now I did so not on purpose, but pure ignorance. I created a rock poster based off of one of my favorite bands " Boston " . I originally thought of selling it as a print. A whopping $11 bucks, now as you can see it's not a fortune. I don't know of anyone " rolling" in it off of Etsy. This being said my buddy was right! Even though I created a image of the band that has not been created in the past, it's still infringement! So that poster will have all funds donated to the Humane Society. I know the lead guitarist of the band would be okay with that. In the future forward I will only sell 100% ORIGINAL prints and art work!!! I will still draw posters of my favorite band and post them on line for others to enjoy. The difference will be I will not profit what's so ever when it comes to $$$$$. Only profit would be enjoyment, and that you cant put a price on!
Dude
