craig....you cannot trace any piece of art that belongs to someone else and turn around and sell it. If a client insists that you use something that may be copyrighted, make the client sign a contract that says "The designer has no knowledge of this art being copyrighted or trademarked, but in the instance it is, they are not legally held liable for any suits arising from the use of a copyrighted or trademarked image." It's the same kind of contract that is signed at a print company or Kinko's and such. this keeps them from being liable for you infringing on someone else's work.
