art work

Can I paint a photo of a celebrity from a photo I found on the internet and sell it on t shirts? I will be adding other custom art work to the photo as well. But the celebrities face area would be pretty much the same as in the photo.

Re: art work

This would require permission from the celebrity or his/her estate.

Celebrities have a so-called "Right of Publicity", which protects their right to control commercial use of name, likeness, voice and other aspects of personna.
