: : I have read over u.s. copyright laws but would still like some re-assurance. I would like to create childrens' book illustrations using collage; specifically, to scan wildlife images, change the size, cut hundreds of portions out from different sources and rearrange them in a narraitve, then paint over them and add my own characters. I am wondering how borderline this territory is concerning copyright as i would eventually like to pursue publishing and would like little to no grey area. any advice is greatly appreciated... : Dear Kathryn, : Although you may not be challenged, the greated your commercial sucess the greater the risk using copyrighed works. : M.
