Bird with banana
This is my image and my design, but not my original idea. I’ve seen it done a few different ways in a few different places, but I was inspired to do this sketch when I saw what I suppose is the original at https://www.etsy.com/listing/48469441/. I originally made the illustration with a french fry, but the restrictive overzealous copyright notice on the Etsy site made me think that this artist wouldn’t appreciate the emulation, extension or reproduction. So, I decided to modify the idea to try to create the same effect in people, essentially zany motivation, but with a different, more ridiculous concept. I didn’t even have to change the color scheme. 😉

I really like Etsy. I think it’s a great way for artists to make money. But sometimes I can’t believe the things they sell (Hence Regretsy, I suppose). But things like this bug me. I mean the phrase is cute and all, but why wouldn’t I (or anyone else) just print out the same phrase ourselves? The bird is cute, mind you. But I have to say your bird is cuter, our slogan is funnier and the typeface is a nice zinger. And, it’s free!
I’m certain that Etsy doesn’t require the restrictive way that this artist chose to protect their work. As far as I’m concerned, and as you can see, the general concept isn’t really protectable. I definitely subscribe to the idea of sharing what you have to get that and then some back. Thanks for your visit and kind words, Paul!
