The [[David Bowie]] article gets around the lack of free use photographs by using a free use drawing. It looks like it could be a drawing of a photograph and is certainly recognisable as David Bowie. When does a drawing start violating copyright? Drawings are quite subjective, is there much value in them?
Well, that's a very different question than the one we've been throwing around here. It depends on the photograph, and it depends on the drawing, and in the end it the final work itself is invoking a fair use concern in one capacity or another since it is definitely derivative.
