Dawn's Design 403 Posted January 13, 2014 I'm talking to the Thomas Kinkade people now about a permit to remake some of his paintings. I print lots of tile murals, mouse pads, coffee cups, and canvas ( Sublimation ). They would look something like this. They haven't told me yes or no yet. Was just wandering how hard it was to get permission. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dawn's Design 403 Posted January 14, 2014 He has great work. I like the city scenes also. I tried one on a coffee cup just to see what it would look like. Its ok but the lights do not light up like they do in the paintings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wildgoose 4,200 Posted January 14, 2014 I bought a "one time use" license from Rick Rietveld of one of his awesome drawings for a good friend of mine for $35 (if i recall correctly). "The Tikinator" is the one I got permission to make a sign with. My pal has a nice pool area made up to look like a Hawaiian beach scene and he wanted a copy of Ricks drawing. I bought the one time use Hi-res image and outsourced a print onto some vinyl and stuck it on a piece of e-panel about 30" tall. Funny thing about it the whole deal was it was supposed to go outside with all the fake surfboards and other stuff we made and he liked it so much he didn't want it to set out there in the sun so it resides on his fireplace mantle! Mr Rietveld is real cool, I have a feeling the $35 was just him being nice and most of the license agreements are probably much higher than that and based on volume. I explained what we were doing and he was cool with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
knucklehead 530 Posted January 14, 2014 I hope they are reasonable. His paintings are on a gob of stuff, as it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
