Caricatures Ireland

If you're new here, you may want to keep up with new posts with my free RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

(UPDATE: This has been resolved. The T-shirts are once again available from Irish Election via Spreadshirt.
Spreadshirt has outlined its position in the comments below.)

The Picturegate t-shirts went missing this morning from Irish Election’s Spreadshirt shop.

Here’s why:

Hello Allen,

Many thanks for your email.

Unfortunately I have to tell you that we cannot release the motif at this shop.
I know that you are the copyright holder of the specific desigs. But they infringe the personal rights of Mr. Brian Cowen.
According to German law it is not allowed to use pictures of famous persons without permission. This applies to satiric or caricature too.
The use of such designs can lead to very high fines. We hope you understand.

For further questions please don’t hesitate to contact me again.

Best regards

Spreadshirt Service

I really don’t know what to say.

EDIT: Something smells bad here. I’ve just pulled all these images from Spreadshirt’s own shop:

And there’s plenty of a sexual nature too.
I’ve emailed them back for clarification.

Get the t-shirt!

I’ve had so many enquiries about the use of the smoking cartoon, from students in New Zealand to public health nurses in England, as well as sundry other enquiries, I’ve decided to post a few terms of use.

• The cartoon may not be reproduced on t-shirts etc without my sole permission. Any such use is in fact a breach of copyright and against the law. I have however created a range of t-shirts available through my website. Click on through for a look!
• You may use it on discussion forums provided you backlink to the original smoking cartoon at http://www.allancavanagh.com/connacht%20tribune/smoking.jpg .
• If you are an undergraduate student you may use it once free of charge for an assignment and credit it to www.allancavanagh.com
• If you are a health professional and would like to use it for health promotion material such as posters and leaflets, for a fee I can provide the cartoon in high resolution on CD. Price is available on request.

Many thanks for your interest in my work. If you do spot a cartoon either here or on my website and would like it on a t-shirt let me know and I’ll create it for you.

Just a reminder that my artwork is available on a range of t-shirts here. So if you’ve seen something you like on the website, just let me know and I’ll create the product of your choice with the artwork on it. For details of pricing and delivery, just contact me. The above caricature of José Mourinho is particularly fetching, as you can see below:
Drop me a line and let me know what you think!
