This is somewhat related, but a while ago I found this site which may prove useful for finding good images to draw from. http://jazzinphoto.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow - http://jazzinphoto.wordpress.com/ Also, please post your art! I'd love to see it. |

| Just take care, if you draw based on famour photos, you might get intro trouble like this guy did: http://waxy.org/2011/06/kind_of_screwed/" rel="nofollow - http://waxy.org/2011/06/kind_of_screwed/ |

If an organisation sees you making money off their product dead or
alive, they'll come looking for you. Still a hell of a lot of people
still do it especially on Ebay. Amazing how artist like Peter Blake get away with it. His Elvis silkscreen print is above £4,000, and he just cuts out the images. Fats Waller Great Idea! Jazz P remainds me of a laurel and Hardy I drew. Hes' got the face for a toon. Never thought of a cartoon. |

Just been searching Google to find a link to a cartoon artist (name forgotten for the moment) who's work appeared in Jazzwise over ten years ago - but instead came across this bit of fun: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9IfEqkTArQ&feature=related" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9IfEqkTArQ&feature=related
