Daveigh Chase, who voiced Lilo in Disney’s original animated movie “Lilo & Stitch” and terrified audiences as Samara Morgan in “The Ring,” died Tuesday, according to TMZ. She was 35.

Chase’s boyfriend told TMZ, which broke the news of her death, that she died from meningitis and an infection in her blood after being hospitalized in Los Angeles for malnutrition earlier this month.

Chase got her big break by voicing Lilo Pelekai, the young Hawaiian protagonist in Disney’s “Lilo & Stitch,” in 2002. For her role, she won an Annie Award for outstanding voice acting in an animated feature production and went on to lend her voice to in several spinoffs, like “Stitch! The Movie” (2003), “Leroy & Stitch” (2006) and Disney Channel’s “Lilo & Stitch: The Series.”

She also voiced the lead character Chihiro Ogino in the English-dubbed version of Hayao Miyazaki’s hit Japanese animated movie “Spirited Away.”

In live-action, Chase had a terrifying turn as Samara Morgan, the creepy little girl who created the cursed video tape in the 2002 horror movie “The Ring.” Samara was also played by Kelly Stables and contortionist Bonnie Morgan, who famously climbed out of a TV in one of the most iconic scenes of the horror genre. Chase’s performance was also used as archival footage in the 2005 sequel “The Ring Two” and 2017’s “Rings.”

You’ve heard of woolly mammoths, but what about woolly tapirs? 🤔Also known as the mountain tapir (Tapirus pinchaque), this species can be found in the cloud forests of South America’s Andes Mountains. Adults can weigh up to 400 lbs (182 kg), and their thick fur coats help insulate them from the cold temperatures of their habitat. Unfortunately, this endangered species is threatened by human activity including hunting and deforestation. 

When an artist shares their work for free online, it can be easy to assume the art is free for everyone else to use too. So you grab it and include it in your own project, and all of a sudden an artist is mad at you, their fans are calling you out, you’re getting threatened with legal action—or even scarier, the artist’s publisher is threatening you with legal action. One-shot comics and minicomics are especially susceptible to this misunderstanding because often they are seen as viral memes instead of art, or treated as public property. But is this really the case? This guide will help you navigate using art you’ve found online. We’ll start with three basic questions: 1. Do I need to ask permission from the artist? 2. Do I need to give credit to the artist? 3. Do I need to pay the artist? After that, we’ll offer some tips on how to approach the artist.

I wrote an article for Cartoonists United! CU has a great collection of resources to help the art community, and I was really excited to contribute.

If you don't know whether it's safe to use a piece of art you found online, if you don't know how to ask permission to use art, and if you are unsure of how to approach artists, read the article!

And if you're an artist who frequently finds your work being used without permission, spread this around so more people know the etiquette around using art online!
