It is not permissible to sell items if it is known or highly probable that the buyer will use them for unlawful purposes, because of the Almighty's saying: (And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression). As for cartoon shadow images that are devoid of details and do not resemble Allah's creation, they are permissible.
