Today we're thrilled to publish our latest article—a piece on U.S copyright law and fandom by @earlgreytea68!

Fan creators don’t speak with one voice any more than any creative community speaks with one voice. I am well aware that I am one of you, but I am definitely not all of you. But most fan creators don’t consider themselves to be lazy or thieves—including me. In fact, all the fan creators that I know work very hard on our creations. We don’t consider ourselves to be stealing anything, because what we “steal”—some characters, some settings—is part of our cultural heritage, part of the world around us, part of the raw material we’ve been given to examine and make sense of our world, the way creators have for millennia.

She'll also discuss the topic on this week's episode, out today for Patrons and tomorrow for everyone else!

[Image ID: The Femix flag created by coiner Gent of Gender-Jargon, 2023, based upon the Apathfemix created by user cybertroniancoining. The flag consists of three vertical stripes and one central, horizontal stripes. From left to right, the vertical stripes are maroon, pink and light pink. The central stripe is light olive green. /.End ID]

Femix: Describing a Non-Female individual that finds a feminine gender attribution befitting and considers it an essential facet of their gender identity.

Based upon the term Apathfemix.

Etymology

Femix is derived from Apathfemix, created by removing the prefix Apath-, indicating apathy. The root, Femix, has a unknown etymological origin. Apathfemix was coined by user Cybertroniancoining in December 2023. The term Femix, coined by Gent of Gender-Jargon a few days after, is directly based upon user Cybertroniancoining’s term as a related concept.

Elaboration

Femix is a complex and potentially contradictory identity in which one’s gender is not “Female”, but has feminine traits attributed to them nonetheless, and this attribution is not only considered to be fitting by the individual, but an integral part of their overall gender experience.

More simply, an Femix individual:

Has a gender identity that they consider to be Non-Female.

Has traits of femininity attributed to them by other individuals.

Considers having traits of femininity attributed to their person to be agreeable and in a few, multiple or all manners at least part of the time.

Considers this attribution to be an intrinsic part of their experience of their gender as a whole.

Femix differs from Apathfemix in that a Femix individual is definitively not apathetic towards feminine traits being attributed to them, nor are they inherently beyond gender as a concept. In place of indifference, a Femix individual enjoys, appreciates, entertains, welcomes or otherwise freely accepts feminine traits being attributed to their person. Furthermore, this attribution is a fundamental aspect of their gender experience.

Flag

The Femix flag is based upon the Apathfemix flag created by the coiner of the term. The Apathfemix flag utilizes the color palette from the Inersgender flag created by user Stellette in 2014 alongside a tri-color pink scheme. The Femix flag is color-picked from the tri-color b pink scheme, shown across three vertical bars, with the darkest pink at the left progressing to the lightest pink to the right. In the middle, a horizontal, light olive green stripe was added to represent the quality of being a Femix being a Non-Female. The Femix flag was created by Gent of Gender-Jargon in 2023.

Note: Gender attribution is not necessarily based upon one’s expression, but is more frequently an assumption made about an individual’s gender identity without their input. Being an assumption, it is not always correct, good, wanted or warranted. Affirming attributions are congruent with one’s perception of themselves. Incorrect and undesired attributions are incongruent with this perception and are often distressing. Femix should not be used to describe anyone who does not like femininity being attributed to them, as it would be misdenoting on multiple levels.

So you just steal artwork and don't care? Got it. Either that or my ask asking about sources from your posts on April 8th disappeared. Or I guess you could be off tumblr and not have been here for two weeks.

Hi Anon,

I'm assuming this is you:

If it is, yes, I did see your last ask - but life has been a bit shit lately and frankly, I didn't have the emotional bandwidth to deal with an accusatory email that gave me absolutely no details about what you were upset about so I could investigate. So today, despite it being an incredibly long and shit one that isn't over I'm going to reply.

*Takes a deep breath* From this point forward I'm going to assume that, like me, you are just a real-live human with feelings that get hurt and not someone who just likes to yell at people on the internet. So let me apologise that I have used your artwork without attribution, it was in no way my intention. Please take this apology as someone who was just trying to amuse themselves and perhaps help some other people out by reminding them to take their meds too. I absolutely suck at art-type things so in my mind, no one would think I did them or was claiming the actual 'art' part of them as mine. I realise now this is the internet, you guys don't know me, and so I should have been clearer that nearly all of these are edits. (There are a few waaaaay back I actually drew myself). Looking at the 7th, 8th & 9th of April (allowing for time zones and assuming that's when you saw your artwork). All of them except one have a link at the bottom of the image that links back to where I sourced the original image - I don't know if this is visible on mobile so I'll show it below (the bit circled in red)

So I'm assuming this one is yours:

It seems that one doesn't have the link. I don't know why. I haven't made any new reminders for this blog in ages (again - life) - it seems like most of the ones from early April this year were originally posted back in 2021. I got briefly excited about this blog again a few months ago and loaded up a bunch of old ones so this blog was still functional for the people that find it helpful. Going back I have noticed that others seem to not have credit either. It is possible I made a mistake and forgot to add them. It's also possible that Tumblr has a had a glitch/error/weirdness which means it's disappeared. I also used a bunch of images from the editing app I was using to add the reminder message and I wish I could remember what the site was called because I cannot for the life of me remember. Honestly, who knows. I have deleted the post(s) with that image - if it's not the right one please let me know.

I have always gone out of my way to ensure that anything I use is either free use, or non-commercial under Creative Commons. As an aside, I'm an academic and a person who has artist friends and my partner runs a business where our customers are largely designers and artists, so I do actually do my best to give credit. Am I perfect - no I'm not. Part of the reason I stopped making new posts was because of difficulty giving credit even on images that were non-attribution and finding images where I knew what the attribution requirements were (along with trying to remember everything everyone asked me to tag, and doing the image descriptions etc.) If anyone else finds something of theirs in one of my posts and there isn't credit attached please either dm me or send an ask and let me know which post and how you would like to be credited and I'll add it in. If you want it removed, I'm happy to do that too.

Sorry for the long post, hope it helps to clear things up. Finally, let me take this opportunity to say

"Don't forget your meds today my friends"

PSA: Everyone, Pinterest is NOT a source!

Pinterest is your neighbour's kitchen corkboard where they pin the stuff they liked, cut out of its original context. Of course they soon forget where they got it from. I saw such a beautiful nature photograph just now, credited with the source "Pinterest". Following the link, the Pinterest user had posted it without any attribution, making it appear as if they took the photo. Looking at the rest of their stuff, that obviously wasn‘t the case. I used Google reverse image search to find the creator. Turns out it was posted to Redbubble by a nature photographer with lots of other cool photographs available as prints.

TLDR: Give proper credit if you post images on Tumblr, or artists like me will get mad at you and professional artists dependent on sales will lose business.

I am looking all over for a fic where Janice Rand goes to Kirk for a reference for a course to convert herself to the officer track, and Kirk instead goes nuts with setting her up a training program *right then* to shadow Bridge officers on shift and lines up Spock to cram her with information and just in general gets so much behind her and the idea she can't believe it. When she expresses gratitude he jokes that she may want to hold off on that, he did just set her up to be tutored by Mr. Spock.

I can't remember title or author and I can't find it. As part of a fic exchange I've written something where I would like to acknowledge this writer as inspiring my work.

Anybody have any idea which one I'm talking about?

Any help appreciated!

Free TTRPG Art - Halfway Mark!

As some of you may know, I’m working on a project where I draw one illustration a month and offer it up to the creative commons, mostly with the intention that people use it for tabletop games. I’ve learned a lot while doing this, and I feel like my art is improving by a lot, which was the goal!

We’re halfway through this year’s project and I could not be happier with how this is turning out. The first few I did were all bug-themed, so I just kept that going.

All the images you see above are creative commons attributions licensed illustrations - that means they can be used commercially, too, you just need to credit me! I do not put them behind a paywall, but there are additional files on my Ko-fi shop for download. It just helps me keep track of downloads, which I see as encouragement that people are using my stuff!

Salvator Mundi - master of the dead eyes

Salvator Mundi, various attributions (Louvre Abu Dhabi)

The Salvator Mundi painting, widely touted as a Leonardo, seems to have disappeared into the limbo of the Saudi Royal family’s treasury where it will doubtless lie, like an ingot of gold in a vault, unseen by most and unappreciated by its owner except as proof of the great wealth required to secure it. Frequent mention, however, is still made of this picture, and while that continues, so does the undesirable confusion that is spread by any demonstrable misattribution. This Brief Study is intended to provide that demonstration.

From left: Head of the Young John the Baptist (Drawing from a private collection, featured in an auction catalogue from 1934 as ‘School of Leonardo’) ; Salvator Mundi ; Head of a Woman (Musee du Louvre?)

Drawings, as always, are helpful. Here are two, to set beside the Salvator Mundi: on the left of it a drawing of a young John the Baptist, on the right a drawing of a young woman, possibly at the Louvre. It is enough to compare, and find similar, the eyes, the nose, the mouth, the treatment of hair. If likeness means anything, it ought to obtain in a juxtaposition such as this. As soon as it becomes clear that these two images are products of the same hand, it becomes clear also that the artist who made the drawing cannot be Leonardo, who never drew like this, and therefore Leonardo cannot be responsible for the painting either.

Of course the Salvator Mundi is Leonardesque. It is by an inferior artist (perhaps Salai, as once suggested by Suida) who has latched onto the ‘sfumato’, or smoky mysteriousness, that is displayed – for some tastes, to excess – in the late Leonardo Saint John the Baptist at the Louvre and copied by this artist in a painting at the Walters Museum. This mysteriousness, the smoky atmosphere implied in the etymology of the Italian word, is indulged in by this artist as if it was all that mattered in Leonardo’s art. The result is that Christ stares out at us, like a ghost from another world, with those strange, ‘dead’ eyes.

Left: St John the Baptist by the follower of Leonardo – Walters Museum, Baltimore ; right: Leonardo’s original – Musée du Louvre

Comparing the earlier drawing with the two paintings of John the Baptist

Comparing the earlier drawing with the two Baptist images either side, one by the copyist, the other by Leonardo, reveals as much as the difference in colour, the ‘Salvator’ eyes, nose and mouth.

Both attributed to the School of Leonardo, Left: ‘Head of a Youth’ – Ambrosiana, Milan ; Right: Portrait of a Lady – Columbia Museum of Art, South Carolina)

Another drawing , of an androgynous-looking youth at the Ambrosiana, shows the same rather long eyes whose lids are more prominent than anything between them . This might almost be a study for the no less ghostly Portrait of a Lady at Columbia Museum of Art in South Carolina. The same artist’s draughtsmanship (or lack of it) is seen in a drawing (Mona Vanna) and a painting both featuring a naked Mona Lisa. A weak sense of form is disguised by a quantity of perfunctory smudging of charcoal or graphite. His admiration for Leonardo is matched by his failure to understand how necessary a proper grounding in observational drawing was to Leonardo’s painted work. A similar failure attended the followers of Turner.

Left: Mona Vanna, attributed to Leonardo ; Right: Female Figure, attributed to Salai

If we return to the Salvator Mundi, we can observe the unconvincing treatment of drapery folds and the way in which ornamented braidwork is not adequately integrated with the rest of Christ’s robe, but lies across it in two, rather than three, dimensions. When our eye moves to the orb, it is equally dissatisfied by the lazy depiction of it, with no attempt at highlight. The orb is as dead as the eyes.

The draperies, braidwork and orb from Salvator Mundi tell us this is not Leonardo’s work

Colour is always a significant indicator in paintings. In this case we have a near-Prussian blue with chestnut browns trailing off into a deeper brown penumbra. This is the palette of the Lansdowne Madonna (‘Madonna of the Yardwinder’), a more impressive work than the Salvator Mundi but displaying a similar tendency to wrap figures in a haze of sfumato.

Left: The Lansdowne Madonna – Private Collection – features the same colour palette and ‘sfumato’ as the Salvator Mundi

Clearly I do not hold this artist in much esteem. Plutocrats are welcome to spend a fortune on his work, but the rest of us should keep our eyes peeled for quality and not allow our vision to be blurred by the ‘Leonardo mystique’ and the floaters of dubious attributions. What this case highlights, not for the first time, is the regrettable necessity for connoisseurs to apply themselves to mediocrities. In an ideal world they would not need to, but they often have to because one person – an originator whom others follow – has ascribed a work by an inferior artist to a vastly superior one. These words, inferior, superior, imply what is at stake: a difference of quality. The exercise I have conducted here will have some value if it succeeds in demonstrating that difference. A painter who has little sense of form cannot disguise the fact, try as he may, with ‘mystery’ that has no depth or substance; it is hollow and spectral, like the dead eyes. If we cannot definitely name him, let us nickname him the Master of the Dead Eyes.

HOW TO Send Me A Request For Changing Attribution For Images

I usually make a point of putting attribution for the "featured image" on my posts, which occasionally leads to an e-mail from an artist asking me to change the link to a different site that they control. I have no problem with this -- I think creators should definitely control their own web presence whenever possible. That said, I just added a little bit to my "Links and Images" page to clarify something and to make everyone's life easier: Please note: If you originally posted an image to unsplash/pixabay and wish for me to change the attribution link from my blog to your primary portfolio or website, I'm happy to do so IF you - Provide some provenance, such as a link to the image on your portfolio site (to demonstrate you're not just a random person) and... - I don't have to click a link with traffic tracking to get to your website. I get enough scammy and spammy email that such things tend to get filtered out and auto-deleted. Thanks! Featured Photo by Umberto on Unsplash Read the full article

[Image ID: The Mascix flag created by coiner Gent of Gender-Jargon, 2023, based upon the Apathmascix created by user cybertroniancoining. The flag consists of three vertical stripes and one central, horizontal stripes. From left to right, the vertical stripes are dark blue, steel blue and sky blue. The central stripe is tan. /.End ID]

Mascix: Describing a Non-Male individual that finds a masculine gender attribution befitting and considers it an essential facet of their gender identity.

The surgeon who signed his work

by Will Self

In January, it was reported that an English hepatic surgeon who had inscribed his own initials at least twice on the livers of patients was finally—after nine years, a criminal proceeding, and two disciplinary tribunals—banned from practicing medicine for life. In Britain, doctors facing this form of censure are said to have been “struck off the medical register,” and this seemed highly appropriate given that Simon Bramhall’s crime consisted of making his own mark, like some sort of graffiti-tagger—or, indeed, like a writer or an artist who signs his work.

Bramhall’s actions had been a cause célèbre since they were revealed in 2013. Something about this particular instance of writing in rather than on the body grabbed everyone’s attention—mine included. The headlines were typically sensationalist: Bramhall had severally “marked,” “branded,” “burned,” or even “seared” his initials into the exposed organs of these vulnerable patients, using an instrument that sounded appropriately sinister: an argon beam coagulator.

All these headlines implied permanent marking—and possibly concomitant damage. But when one read the body copy (another suggestive term in this context), it became apparent that Bramhall’s mark-making had been both evanescent and superficial: the diathermy cauterized the tissue only to a depth of a millimeter, and that tissue was the fatty layer that encompasses the liver, not the liver itself. Moreover, surgeons using this instrument invariably need to test it, and usually do so by making a small pattern of dots on the surface of the exposed liver.
