General Guidelines
Applies to all fan art submissions in the Partner Program

Be original.
While your work will include a brand’s Intellectual Property (like a company’s logo or a character from a TV show), it’s important to add something original of your own - make it unique.
Do your research - make sure your design hasn’t already been done.

Don’t submit screenshots or imagery taken directly from the property.

Be mindful of explicit content.
Some brands might be ok with adult content, but others aren’t. Check each brand’s guidelines if you want to know more about what each partner thinks is ok.

Be creative.
Play with styles and mediums.
Get inspiration from the brand - watch, read, or play it again.

About Chris Farley

Screen_Shot_2018-08-23_at_4.15.58_PM.pngChris Farley, blessed with an incredibly unique gift for physical comedy, was much more than the "fat guy in a little coat". After graduating from Marquette University, Chris worked briefly for his Dad before moving to Chicago where he became the breakout star for the legendary Second City Theater group.  It was here that he created arguably his most memorable character - motivational speaker Matt Foley. Recruited by Lorne Michaels, Chris joined the cast of Saturday Night Live in 1990. He juggled his increasing popularity on SNL with his first feature film role, Tommy Boy. Chris Farley remains a fan favorite and the myriad of characters he created over the years live on.
