Big projects are fine . but needing to have a spreadsheet to check off that I need to approve each employees payroll is dumb . <| sep |> I know a professional wildlife artist who talks about this stuff a lot . If you are selling the piece of artwork then yes , it is frowned upon . The photographer may be able to take legal action against you in some cases . Edit I may have read your comment slightly wrong . If the artist is the one who took the photograph there isn ' t a problem with it , but if it is someone else ' s picture then yes , it is most likely bad . <| sep |> Emotions are high , the season has been a major disappointment , so the downvotes were expected . <| sep |> Unfortunately , it might be time to call the police next time . This guy is taking advantage of your kindness .
