I miss Spam so much. Why does it have to be so bad for the human body? WHY?!

Evidently someone made art of me and it’s on the cover of Portland Mercury.

Kinda fucked up that people think they can just use you/your image without permission, huh ?

I’m not sure you have legal standing because I’m not sure if this would be considered “fair use” or not. It’s obviously rude, but since it’s not a blatant copy (instead he remade it with a new medium and even changed aspects of the original) idk how far you’d get were you to pursue legal action. THAT SAID I’ve seen this guy’s work before and he clearly paints images of hot fat chicks he found on tumblr. I think at the very least you could send him a letter asking for proper attribution to be added on his site or wherever. THEN AGAIN, this happened: in 1992, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit “found that an artist copying a photograph could be liable for infringement when there was no clear need to imitate the photograph for parody.”

(Things you learn from teaching copyright law to undergrads.)

Also, from what I recall, the “you shouldn’t be able to use my image” approach (publicity rights) to art/copyright only works if you’re a public figure or otherwise famous. 

ETA: oh hmm, maybe you do have some rights here:

“In some states, celebrities cannot sue for misappropriation of name and likeness (on the theory that they have no privacy interest to protect), and non-celebrities may not sue for violation of the right of publicity (on the theory that their personalities have no commercial value). The growing trend, however, is to permit both celebrities and non-celebrities two sue for both misappropriation and violation of the right of publicity, as long as they can establish the relevant kind of harm.”

I can’t say shit about this topic (except that Gluibizzi’s silence on the topic irritates me), because I also appropriate images from the interwebs…so…

Also, I hate strongly dislike Gluibizzi’s work.
