Diana - June 2011 (calendar)

yorkshire_rose Sharon...i was thinking hun ! couldn't you create a calendar to sell in the shops.You are so talented i'm sure it would be a huge seller.Love this....... your creative eye knows no bounds ♥

TheCountess Thanks, Berni! It's a good thought, and I'd love to do something like that, but the problem is copyright issues. I could only do that if 100% of the image was mine. As fan art, and something that's made to be used or viewed for FREE, there is no issue. If I or anyone else tried to make money with copyrighted images that didn't belong to them personally, law suits could be filed for copyright infringement, and I'm sure that some hefty fines would just be a minor part of the outcome. Of course, nothing stops you or anyone else from printing them out for FREE personal use. Some people have even written to ask if they could make t-shirts, greeting cards, postcards, etc. with some of my images. As long as it's only for personal use, and no money is made from them, there's no problem. Not too long ago, I even received a postcard from a friend in England who made it from one of my Diana wallpapers. It was a really lovely surprise! :)

yorkshire_rose Oh thanks for this Sharon,i didn't know my goodness such a lot to consider.Can you draw or sketch ?......then surely that would be your own image.I have have a friend who made a calender by sketching her images and it did prove to be a huge seller ! You already have a lot of interest....surely there is a way around it <333

TheCountess I wish! One of my sisters is the one who's talented at that. She's left handed, but she draws some really amazing stuff. I'm afraid I can't do much without the aid of a computer art program.

yorkshire_rose Awww ok ....you sound like a very talented family Sharon..what a gift you both have <333

TheCountess Mine is more patience and judgement as to what might look good, but thank you for saying that.

yorkshire_rose Awww you are more than welcome hun <3
