Yeah, it was kinda funny. I checked my email, and I have one note that says, "Congratulations, you sold a bunch of Star Wars stickers!" And then the next note says, "Bad news, we had to take down all your Star Wars art so Disney won't sue us." I guess they've gotten in trouble with Lucasfilm over this sort of thing before. It seems like Disney and Marvel properties are okay. There's tons of Marvel stuff, and they left my Big Hero 6 stuff alone. So I guess it's just Lucasfilm stuff that's a problem.

Okay, I should let you know Redbubble just removed all my Star Wars fan art so they don't get sued by Disney. So maaybe stay away from Disney properties, but aside from that it seems like fan art is fine.

Thanks for that. Too bad about your Star Wars art, though.
Call it karma. Call it luck. Me, I just don't give a... BOUNCE!

Yeah, pretty much! The only thing is your images have to be pretty big to be formatted properly.

That's cool! So you just pick what you want on a mug or a shirt or as a sticker and then people can buy it in that format?

There's a ton of fan art on there, so I think it's cool.

Does Redbubble have any issues with copyrighted characters? I'm just wondering because I've been looking into these kinds of stores.
