Alternative: If you get someone to do it on consignment (where they get a portion of the sell price), you might be able to do it that way. BUT, you would need forms, permissions, agreements, etc... from the copyright owner (photographer).
Please do NOT get caught selling someone else's work. Their name on it or not. |
Wait a minute!
There's an entire industry that does entirely that.
My dad has some N.C.Wyeth paintings that he bought 50 years ago......are you saying that he's not entitled to make a profit from his investment?
Just because you're an artist doesn't mean you're a marketing genius, and if you sell something to someone, it's THEIRS, and if they get more money for it than you did, that's life.
If I bought a piece of work for $100 and someone came to my house and just HAD to have it and offered me $250, you're saying I *CAN'T* sell it?????
I don't think so!!!......LOL!!! |
I agree with Jeb. If you bought a print from DPC you are then able to sell it, no strings attached as you now own that print. This concept applies to anything you buy as far as I know. As long as you are not claiming to be the artist, you are fine. |
If the original print is sold as a print then I would agree. The situation here is that the purchaser of the print would be changing the presentation then reselling it. Wouldn't that be a derivative work?
If that's ok as well then that means anyone buying small prints from DPC could essentially create art cards and sell them. |
Actually, you'd have to copy them to make art cards. So that's a whole 'nuther ballgame. You couldn't do that without violating copyright laws. Selling the actual physical print that you purchased is not the same thing. |
Actually there are cards that you can create by either inserting the print or pasting it to the front.
Reselling the print is fine but if the presentation is changed in any way, doesn't it become a derivative work?

I think there will always be a way to see the good and bad sides of any financially ethical transaction. Blanket statements are just hard to make.
I'm quite sure my example about selling a print I bought to the friend is different than someone with a business trying to bargain basement struggling artists.........common sense and decency should always be your guide.
I know if the art card idea was something I was entertaining, I'd want to strike a deal with an artist/photographer. That'd be the best way.
BTW.....to the OP....if you see anything of mine you like, let's talk! LOL!!!
We'll have lunch!

I think that's the gist of this thread.
One thing to remember is that pictures of familiar things/places are usually what sells so maybe contacting those who have images of your local area to start with.

Actually, that's not what I meant. I was referring to DPCers that take pictures of your local area.

Seriously, I think you'd find quite a few photogs here that would....
A. Have work that you'd like if you asked for specific subject material.
B. Would work with you if you thought you'd be a sales outlet.
You should probably clear it with Langdon before you just put it out there, but I'm just sayin'.......
