I am extremely fucking pissed right now. Yesterday I made my first sale on RedBubble for an artwork I started selling using Linkin Park's name as the basis. It was all in honor of Chester's death. I'm not even trying to exploit the event.
This is the picture. ^^^
Finally made money from my art, and it got taken down today because these fucking assholes took it down saying I had no right to be selling it. I. FINALLY. MADE. MONEY. THAT. I. DESPERATELY. NEED.
Like, are you fucking kidding me? I wasn't claiming the logo was my own. I was just doing a fucking art based around it. I'm so mad it isn't even funny. Companies need to learn to get the fucking sticks out of their asses and let fans make a fucking 42 cents on a single sticker and suck it up. They make millions of dollars a year. 42 CENTS WILL NOT PUT YOU OUT OF BUSINESS YOU FUCKING D-BAGS!
The regulations on fan art is getting out of hand. Something needs to be done to protect us as artists. I am so pissed.
