Not sure I fully understand your question, but if you're looking for unique clipart, I'd suggest putting an ad on Craigslist for artists to draw you what you want (good ones can almost exactly reproduce things). We do it all the time for prototypes. Students LOVE to say they worked on commercial projects and will often do it for low or no cost.

It is certainaly up to you, some companies take a warning stance on their property and some will take you to the cleaners, for me if I had a popular immage with a copyright it would make me mad to discover someone else is profiting off of my hard work without my permission.

if that's the kind of work you want - there's certainly an abundance of it on ebay...much of it copied/stolen and otherwise used without the permission of the original artist.

and yes there are a lot of folks out there using it - there's a calvin peeing on everything under the sun on half of the pickups in most states. because there is a lot of it going on still doesn't make it right or legitimate...

i want to filled order request anyway i can legally. there r a lot of stuff out there that's copy written, for instance there r some programs we use for art that we really r not suppose to use but we use them. i'm not trying to steal or copy anything. i just want to make a dollar. i ask where can i find the art, if i have get permission to use it i will. that ? has nothing to do with being right or wrong.
thank u for your concern of my legal being, but i just ask a ?. that is what the forum is for, not to be judging the integretiy of a member.

note: i have gone to a lot of companys large and small doing this decals and most of them have them in their printed selection to choose from.

Right or wrong every decal company in America probably has a collection of those type images. That thing has been drawn and re-drawn a hundred times. I am sure the orig. artist didnt dream of all the variations or create 25% of whats out there today Use at your own risk. You would be better off just drawing your own character as its rather simple to do.

There in lies the crux.....however most everyone can trace. Inkscape offers the opportunity to trace bitmaps into vectors for cutting at no charge to download, last time I looked. For those using the CraftROBO, save the project from Inkscape in DFX format and open in Robo Master for cutting. Sure you'll spend at least an afternoon learning the tricks, but you'll have the opportunity to cut what you want, in the size that you want, not what someone else designed.
