It was the cartoon Steamboat Willie, the first Mickey cartoon that lost its copyright for like a day and everyone jumped on it instatly. Not Mickey himself. ,And that's crazy about Kat von D. Well, if someone from the OTO comes after me hopefully they will be sympathetic that the High Priestess Herself told me to paint her like this in a vision. So talk to Her I guess.
Well, it's not a reproduction. If I was using the exact image then I would be infringing on copyright laws. The ultimate test is that of the Mickey Mouse test (since Disney is known to issue cease and desist to pretty much everyone using the Mouse in their work). If it is Mickey Mouse, no good. If it looks like but isn't MM, then you can get away with it in court. If my ultimate goal was to make a tarot deck, I would do more legal blah blah to make sure I am in the clear, but since it's not, I'm not going to worry about it.
