I have a question about the legality of fanart. As I understand it, I can create fanart of any scene in the books, but I cannot sell it for profit.? So, if I were to lift an image from a press release and create a banner, that's OK, but if I put it on a bumper sticker and sell it, that is copyright infringement? Or, if I create original artwork of a phoenix, once I call it "Fawkes," that is trademark infringement? Does anyone have any information on how this works?
