    You’re essentially making just making a print of an internet meme. Probably ought to come up with your own ideas when you’re taking art to market.

    Yes you’re exactly right. To bolster your point further, Evan, your link is also not the original source of the meme.

    I’m unsure if changing the media is not enough to take art to market. For example, one of my friends carves others’ Tweets into stone and sells them. Do you think that he ought to come up with his own idea too? Charley Woolridge casts others’ graffiti signs into iron. Is this not original?

    Isn’t an internet meme public property? Isn’t it fair to stand on the shoulders of giants?

    Anyway it’s well known that I donate the proceeds so _I_ wouldn’t profit from it, either. I see no better way to use a public domain internet meme than getting it onto someone’s walls as fine art (in fact, onto as many walls as possible) and sharing the profits with the artists who made it possible.

    Thoughts?
