I've got a project sent to me by one of my clients for their client who wants the back of their shirt to have the "American Gothic" painting in black ink on a white shirt with a quote below. Of course I was concerned about copyright infringement in reproducing someone else's art and suggested to the client that we change the design to avoid any issues. They insist they want it but left room for it to be changed to avoid copyright infringement.
Ironically there is a lot of debate about whether or not this painting is actually still copyrighted as the deadline was missed back in the 1950's and then the artist's sister copyrighted a likeness of the painting...not that this job is worth challenging all that!
I know parodies of copyrighted movies, paintings, books is acceptable... any thoughts on what I could do with this job!?!!
