Fortunately I have had to learn and deal with copyright issues in the past. I have a BFA and in doing multiple projects that deal with a wide array of commercial and personal images. I also understand copyright to be very personal to me as an artist. As a graphic designer however more often than not I have had to deal with a lot of pictures that sometimes accounted for a large portion of my hard drive space. Most of the time in a company setting that requires some pictorial representation these companies will invest in buying the rights to use images from places like Getty, istock and Corbis just to name a few.
The above image is an image created by hand (not digitally) which was inspired by a magazine ad. This drawing is a good example of how we can become creative with the images we see without using the actual copyrighted image.

Tania,
Two words stuck out to me in your post...inspired by. As artists do we need to give specific credit to the inspiration? It makes me wonder when so many fields overlap, similar to the Shepard Fairey, who are we accountable to? Explaining this concept to students is a challenge I face every year in the classroom. How much is too much and how much is truly inspired?
(Beautiful stippling on the drawing!)
