Hey everyone....
I am a major Austen fan, and I have been toying with the idea of creating a deck using characters from her books. I am worried about copyright problems though.
I have seen a deck of Rock and Roll Hall of Famers and it uses actual photos or drawings of stage performances of all the big names in rock. Also, I've seen a Ancient Myth Tarot, which was in the works, and it used images from very old books, such as the Bible.
Anyway, I am wondering if my own renderings of characters from Jane Austen's books would be in any way an infringement of her(descendents) rights.
