To me, it does look like fair use. But I'm not a lawyer. I found this argument pretty compelling, though: http://mrgan.tumblr.com/post/6840184364/hand-pixelated "That cover is NOT the original photo, downsampled. It’s a hand-crafted, precisely drawn interpretation of the source. Anyone who’s ever seriously put pixels to screen will tell you that this is an actual artistic method, one with its own challenges, tricks, and yes, an aesthetic." |

If painting a version of a photo in oils is allowed, then this is allowed.
