Hi,
copyright works like this usually: Whenever somebody creates anything, it's automatically under his copyright. This means you are not allowed to use it yourself. Except he releases it under a free license (GPL for example), in which case you are allowed to under terms of that license.
So the answer is no, you're not allowed to use it without permission.

No problem, if you need custom images you can always ask in the image request forums, if you're lucky somebody will help you out.
