In this case I really don't care. I painted a still life of something that was already created by another. In a way I have ripped someone else's creativity off. My wahine was the one who told him that he could not make copies. If someone took one of my original paintings and tried this you can be sure that I would nip it in the bud.

If it was legal to reproduce a painting you had bought from let's say Shag well he probably wouldn't sell it in the first place. The reason is because he makes more money off the prints than the original .

Just think about it.

Ahhh... ok, I see your point then. I didnt think of it in that way. Well if it doesnt bother you, then I am glad you are feeling ok with it. I didnt think of the angle that you had not painted original mug designs, but instead the designs of others, so you feel funny about making a big deal out of this. I still would, but I understand now why you dont want to. Thats perfectly understandable. :)

By the way, your artwork is spectacular! Thanks for sharing it with the world! :)
