Copying files containing text, and files within several specifically named subfolders

Question

I have several folders like so:

• Folder A
  • 123-fanart.jpg
  • extrafanart
    • abc.jpg
    • def.jpg
• Folder B
  • 456-fanart.jpg
  • extrafanart
    • ghi.jpg
    • jkl.jpg

I'm looking to grab all jpg files containing "fanart" as well as all jpg contents of each extrafanart folder, and copy these all to a single folder like so:

• fanart
  • 123-fanart.jpg
  • 456-fanart.jpg
  • abc.jpg
  • def.jpg
  • ghi.jpg
  • jkl.jpg

I've gotten this far:

find . -type f \( -iname "*.jpg" -iname "*fanart*" \) -exec cp '{}' fanart \;

But I can't figure out an efficient way to grab the contents of the extrafanart folders. Ideas?

Use -o to specify different criteria. You can use the -path option to match files in a subdirectory

find . -type f \( -name '*fanart.jpg'* -o -path '*/extrafanart/*.jpg' \) -exec cp {} fanart \;
