No You Cannot Paint, Offer for Sale, Sell, or Otherwise Tinker with a Disney Character, at Least It Is Illegal Without an Express License from the Walt Disney...
No you cannot paint, offer for sale, sell, or otherwise tinker with a Disney character, at least it is illegal without an express license from the Walt Disney company.
Can you sell a drawing of Mickey Mouse?
The Walt Disney Company owns the rights to its characters, so you cannot sell your drawings of them. This would also mean you are violating the Walt Disney Company's copyrights. They own the intellectual property rights to these characters. Your Disney artwork can be sold only if you have a license from Disney.
Legally, you cannot sell paintings of characters that other artists have invented. Due to trademark, copyright, and art plagiarism issues, selling paintings of characters is stealing the work of others and selling it as your own, even if you created the painting yourself and put a unique spin on it.
