At worst, you get sued. At best, the creator won't care. But you won't know which unless you ask (or the until creator finds out you stole his/her work).
FYI: under US law, all intellectual property, be it words, music, or works of visual art, are all automatically copyrighted. The only exception is when the creator expressly states that the work in question is in the public domain. If not, you need to get permission, or else you risk that lawsuit.
