I've noticed people mentioning selling portraits of Whinnie the Pooh, Oz, Mickey Mouse, etc........aren't there legalities and copywrites involved in using these images, or for that matter, images of living people such as Britney Spears?  Or is it just that the craft fairs are just ignored when it comes to nitpicking laws?

Yes, every entertainer and Winnie the Poh caricatures of every stripe are Trademarked and copyrighted under US and International Laws
The practical realities are:
Make a few, nobody cares. Start mass producing them to make big bucks and you'll have a swarm of screaming lawyers picking your bones clean.
They are required by law to go after EVERY infringement or lose their rights to protect their property rights.
So, just don't advertise it. No ebay, no newspapers, no nothing. Go ahead and show and sell at craft fairs.
You will be violating their copyrights.
