  • Comment - Unless the image was uploaded by the living artist (preferably with an OTRS tag), this is almost certainly not in the public domain. The author link page does not exist. In addition, at full size, the image does not appear as sharp as it probably could be (in my opinion).--Godot13 (talk) 05:29, 11 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • It does appear that some of the artist's other works have been uploaded with an OTRS tag, so this one probably needs one...--Godot13 (talk) 06:11, 11 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      • I don't know how to add OTRS but looking at his contributions in a conversation with an Commons admin he [1] gave permission for Wikipedia to use his work. Since this image was uploaded after his other works got OTRS tag from the admin it most likely means he is loading them himself (I assume he isn't familiar that much with Wikipedia) --Spongie555 (talk) 21:24, 12 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
