Is it ok to use people’s art as an advertisement or an inspiration?
Personally, I would say no for other artists to use a picture of the other artist’s work as an advertisement but it would be ok to get inspired from the artwork and create their own art.
My research has shown that nothing is new, everything got influenced by other things which means everything is a remix.
This is an example of how people in the tattoo community are not aware even of the concept of copyright and art theft even when it is highlighted they still do not recognise and understand when their work is being appropriated.
However, I don’t think emerging artists or many artists know what copyright is. With time I hope I can slowy make some change by educating them.
