Here she is in glorious monochrome. So how do people screenprint then? Maybe I could make screenprints. edit: The previous piccie would work well.

While you can draw just about anything for your own pleasure and even show it to others, you cannot use the likeness of another person to make prints for gain. Even if you give them away you would still be benefiting from the exposure that might come from the gifts.
You should consult with a Patent Attorney specializing in Copyright Law before reproducing images of likenesses that you have no right to use.
Just a thought.

I didn't mean a bloody screenprint of boring old janis joplin. I mean more in general like this guy. http://www.michaelmichaelmotorcycle.com
Also, in the UK copyright law works differently. You don't own your own likeness in the UK I am pretty sure.
The UK adheres to International Copyright, plus if the image is of a U. S. Citizen or the rights are owned by a U. S. Citizen, you can be sued for violation of rights in the U. S., no matter where you live.
Since the U. S. and U. K. have agreed to honor each others rights, this makes you liable for the applicable laws.

Anyone want to request a picture?
I like it. Nice one dude.
oh, that is way cool! I was a big fan of Janis back in the day. Great drawing.
I wouldn't listen to that consultant guy. You can use your own artwork in any manner you like.
..you can draw me a radish if you like. :-)
