Artwork
Re: Artwork
Hi Lminto,
The signature and quote shouldn't pose any problems because they fall within the section 30(1ZA) exception for the purpose of quotation. I think you can rely on the second part of subsection 1ZA(d) not to provide a credit because it would be impractical in the circumstances.
However I would be concerned about the source of your painted image of Tolkien. Did you copy it from a photograph or similar source? If so, you would need to get permission from the photographer to use your adapted version, unless your painting is utterly different. By different I mean a different angle of view, a different facial expression or features being highlighted, and not just, say, a colour rendering of a black and white photograph.
I hope this answers your question.
