Fair use --- RATIONALE

• No free equivalent - Non-free content is allowed to be used where no free equivalent is available, or could be created, that would serve the same encyclopedic purpose - as is the case with this photo of the sticker.
• Respect for commercial opportunities - Non-free content is not used in a manner that is likely to replace the original market role of the original copyrighted media. Using this image does not do that as this image is not for sale independently. If anything it increases the chances that someone may see it, and gain interest in the life and work of the artist, which could bring commercial opportunities for him, and as was stated previously, this was not a commercial interest for him, but something he considered to be "an experiment".
• Minimal extent of use - Only 1 drawing from this artist is used.
• Content - It meets general Wikipedia content requirements and is encyclopedic.
• One-article minimum - Only article this image is used in and its presence significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic, with its omission being detrimental to that understanding.--65.219.211.81 (talk) 06:25, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
