Well the topic of copyright has always been a hot one here on the forum.
I was looking to do some Santa projects this year. I know Santa isn't copy written, heck I even have a suite of my own.
I mentioned Santa as we know him is largely to do with Coca Cola.
They got there original concept from a piece of art in Harper's Magazine
.
This picture was done by Thomas Nast back in the late 1800s.
Haddon Sundblom designed a Santa for Coca Cola which eventually, ended up being a self portrait.
What a jolly old soul.
As for me mentioning the red suite came from Coca Cola, Well I was wrong....gee that's a first
.
Lucky for Coke, they had the same colors as Santa
I know traditionalists will say Kris Kringle and Saint Nicholas had their roots in other countries, but no one held a copyright of that either.
Anyway Christmas is fast approaching, and there is some good reading out there on the topic of the Jolly old Soul.
Happy Scrolling.
