I am an artist and was asked to pain a picture of Corona beer. Is it legal for me to paint brand names without infringing on copyright/trademark, etc?

Artist Andy Warhol made a fortune painting cans of campbells soup. So go for it.

It's fine unless your'e selling it. If your'e selling it then you need to get permission from Corona. Otherwise, it doesn't matter.

As long as you aren't going to make profit off of it, then you're fine.

MFS answered Tuesday April 19 2005, 7:05 pm:
Yes, it is legal - so long as it doesn't appear that you are trying to steal or dilute the brand-name. If you were to mass-produce your picture, the company that makes Corona would likely come after you. Making one picture, the company will neither know nor will they care. A trademark is only valid if the owner enforces the trademark. In your case, you're not stealing anything, you're merely painting a picture of their beer - that should be covered under fair-use.
