Default How to get imaging rights for celebrities and the costs involved?
My first post. Was wondering how one goes about getting the licensing to print celebrity images and how to find out the costs involved?

For example: Redd Fox (Fred Sanford), Big Shirl from What's Happening etc...

This site is easily my best hope as I've searched far and wide for this type of information

You should contact the celebrity's agent. Every celebrity has a right of publicity which prevents "unauthorized commercial use of an individual's name, likeness, or other recognizable aspects of one's persona. It gives an individual the exclusive right to license the use of their identity for commercial promotion." Publicity | LII / Legal Information Institute

Unless the celebrity is dead, then you are apparently free to capitalize in every way possible on their image.

That was just a bit of sarcasm over the MASSIVE amount of cliche Michael Jackson shirts out at the moment.
