Well.. yeah, I might. I don't know why I would but I'm not going to say I wouldn't ever do it. Not his actual painting, but a copy...but then of course I don't think you mean an original because all these hypothetical schoolkids aren't cutting up original manuscripts and sticking them in their copybooks.
but, yes, I completely did, as I said, I read debates on metafandom for a couple of years and then I regurgitated them. I used, frex, a couple hundred stock photographs in a vid I made, all cut up to make letters to spell out words. I never credited all those people who took those photographs, and they never credited the person that painted the signs that were their subjects, or their original designer... My point is that nothing comes wholly outta anyone's ass and that it's ridiculous to pretend it does.
And omg! For real I am tired of being told what y'all did at school. I don't care what rules you all made up there. Fandom is not an extension of bloody university.
But anyway, this is the crux though, isn't it. The issue here seems to be this idea of stealing credit, not making the art itself. So my solution is simple. I will continue to do exactly what I want, and if it upsets you, don't credit me. Take my art and use it uncredited! That's a revenge I can get behind, heh. I think that works well for everyone.
