Public Domain Day and Happy New Year!

Every year, January 1st is Public Domain Day. This is an observance of when copyrights expire and works enter into the public domain–free for all to use. According to Public Domain Review, here are some of the newly-available artistic works you might like a/o January 1, 2023:

One that caught my attention is Winnie the Pooh, now in the public domain. Knowing that, I should feel comfortable posting his picture:   But I’m not a brave sort, so I blurred him and then pixelated him (with Lunapic). I will be waiting until I’ve seen his Pooh face all over the place!

    1. It is interesting. I’m surprised some of these creations pass into the public domain–like Winnie the Pooh. What–the Estates are sleeping?
