    About at the 50min mark there was a statement about copyright infringement: http://pjperez.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=72#/d2oiv68

    Unfortunately for Marvel, they would lose any argument in court against PJ, because clearly, that Wolverine is superior to theirs!

    Good cast, guys.

    I haven't read the Shepard Farey article on HuffPo but I get the feeling that his point might have been more motivated by a stance against art-on-spec, rather than purely political pushback. Any contest that calls for artists to submit art that may or may not be selected/rewarded is asking for artists to work for free. Calling out the Obama admin, with it's current Job bill, for this bit of hypocrisy is actually a valid point. I think your podcast focused on this as a political statement rather than the issue of spec-art, which would've been more relevant to the podcast.

    Of course, I could be wrong. ;)

    Yea, it's always near impossible to bring up politics or religion as related to the art, yet somehow avoid diving into those hot button driving subjects as well. You're absolutely right, I should have gotten the rooms' thoughts on the spec art side of it more deeply. I can go out on a limb here and speak for everyone - we don't like spec art projects. Plumbers and don't have to first do their work for free then see if the customer decides to buy it later, why should we? Well the short answer is because art is subjective... the long answers is... hmm... the more I think about it, the more I think it would make for an interesting future podcast of some kind!

    Thank you Angel, you're teaching me what to look for.

    Rupert.com - And we specifically addressed the difference between creating fan art featuring licensed property and selling mass-marketed prints featuring licensed property without the licensing. That art you linked to was a piece I created as a gift for a friend.

    And as I said in the podcast, this has been a contentious topic among the comic convention circuit, because I know a lot of people who make their living selling prints featuring "fan art" -- some of them are licensed, others are not. It's a fine line.

    Thanks for listening!
