OMG I LOOOOOVE the new head of artist Alley at NDK SOOOO much.

She totally just sealed it in the fact that she gave everyone $10 off for last years BS< and the contract now includes this:

Swipes, or exact reproductions of licensed artwork is strictly prohibited. If it is discovered that a swipe is being sold at an Artist’s table, the Artist will be asked to remove it immediately. If a second violation occurs, the Artist will be removed from the Exhibition space permanently.

Ah, if only I still had contact with Shea

I hope they expand this to apply to the art room as well.

I'm gonna have a big artsy post soon. But this made my day.

Yeah, swipes are one of my biggest pet peeves in art (And now I have a term for them) It's a totally valid way to help you learn, but when you're making a profit out of it? Go grow some creativity.

I know, huh?

Shea is a girl I use to know who got $80 for painting a swipe of Sasuke. The real artists in the group were just like "...wut."

What exactly is a 'swipe'?

leemme see if I can find an example.

This is a bit arguable, but hopefully it gives the idea:

(That person did add their own touches, but hopefully it'll give you the idea)

Ah. I think I get it now. Makes sense that they'd want to bar that kind of work too.
