So, I have this character that I originally created to take with me on my backpack trips. It was my son's idea, to take photos of it out in the world for him. Its a LEGO mini-figure, frankensteined together from other mini-figure parts to make a little avatar of myself. A couple of trips ago I got creative and started making little "Adventure stories" with her. Yes, it's a her, she has become a real person. LOL. I love making the stories and thought about compiling them to publish on an ebook site. It's reasonably cheap to do so, I believe, and if I can make a few bucks off of it, that would be cool. BUT, copyright. It's LEGO. Then I tell myself, people make art out of LEGO's ALL THE TIME. What's the difference? The pieces I use are lego bricks that I combined into a little sculpture of myself. She's not recognizable as any of the LEGO "characters".
I would like to hear @davidhohn 's opinion on this topic. @kaitlinmakes thinks she knows what you would say, David. I'm curious if she's right 😜. She probably is.
Just to add, If I do proceed with this I would definitely find out for sure if it's legal. Worse case scenario, I make PDF's to hand out for free from my website. Cuz, I think they are super cute and make people laugh. Here are a couple of picts of Scrapbear doin' her thing.
