Public Domain - Blog Posts
I would pay to see it ngl
See THIS is what I want dude!
I’m glad everyone just going hog wild with ideas of using Mickey in both good and the bad
Instead of a probably crappy horror flick we should use this Steamboat Willie situation(and Oswald also public domain since 2023) to create a metatext postmodern sequel to the underrated classic adventure game of Epic Mickey-uh I mean *a new made up name*.
And want to further cover yourself? Make it a commentary of modern disney or something.
To any public domain aficionados, please do feel free to help spread the word of this petition.

for those of you who remember cgtextures circa 2008, texture.ninja has a large repository of public domain textures without annoying hoops to jump through.
Here are my Three Random Drawings I Wasted My Talent On
Drawing #1: Pixel Leaf Fanart in 2024
Time Spent: 3:01
So about a few months ago, I made this Pixel Leaf fanart based on her new sona's design. I'm honestly really proud of this one, the only problem I have is to draw a hand pointing. TBH, fingers are kinda hard to draw.
But anyways, @pixel-leaf if you are reading this or somehow stumbled upon this post, hopefully you'll enjoy this fanart I made and if you do, I'll safely say thank you for your appreciation 😊👍
Drawing #2: Public Domain Frenzy
Time Spent: 6:54
In case you live under a rock, Mickey Mouse and the cartoon made for him has recently reached public domain on the first day of January in 2024. Which makes it a great idea for Keithan (my OC) to be cast in Steamboat Willy where Doom Ramirez (My other OC) built a boat for him. Needless to say, things went horribly wrong.
However I recently heard that Mickey being on the public domain would also bring out some huge downfalls such as making some money by making crappy horror games, and being copyright claimed by Disney themselves, but hopefully I'll never be copyright claimed by Disney ;)
Drawing #3: Tribute to the Fallen
Time Spent: 10:26
Well, it seems that you made it to the first drawing that has some serious topics. If you are feeling depressed or overwhelmed that these two have passed away, be happy for them for creating one of your childhood favorites.
I personally haven't watched Dragon Ball yet, but I've had one of my friends inside or outside the Internet that are huge fans of Dragon Ball and it is sad to see Akira Toriyama, the creator of Dragon Ball, pass away. So thank you Akira for making one of the most goated anime of all time, and hopefully you'll rest in peace.
It was also sad to see the creator of one of my childhood favorites also pass away in the same month. I haven't heard of Janice but I appreciated her for creating a wonderful childhood for me.
I have no other words to say other than my deepest respect goes to everyone that supports these two people and their family.
Thank you for everything...
Felt like doing my own take on public domain characters today. Have my own take on Chessie!
Public Domain Day 2024
Once again its the day we all wait for, public domain day. the day some thing get ripped out of the clasps of the claws of corporations. This year is notable for many things becoming public domain but specifically a certain mouse in the united states. Here's an example of some of the things but note that this is only a sampling of what's become public domain
In Europe and other life of author + 70 years areas:
The Wind Has Risen by Tatsuo Hori
The polish Koziołek Matołek comics by Kornel Makuszyński
Mr. Weston's Good Wine by T.F Powys
In New Zealand and other life of author + 50 years areas:
J.R.R Tolkien's work, but only the ones published during his lifetime. Things published by his son Christopher are not public domain
Margaret Wilson's The Able McLaughlins
The works of crime writer Lucy Beatrice Malleson (Anthony Gilbert)
In the US:
All things published in 1928
The big one of course, Steamboat Willie and the earliest incarnation of Mickey Mouse. Disney still owns trademarks so be careful and theres some things like his gloves that didnt appear until later and im sure the Mouse's lawyers are watching like hawks
The House at Pooh Corner, first appearance of Tigger
Orlando: A Biography by Virginia Woolf
Theres much more. Take a peek over at Project Gutenberg or The Internet Archive
