One simple over riding rule and YOU MUST COMPLY with this one :-

If you use my stock .... Credit, link and note.

All the below rules are specific to small aspects like printing and external use but if you wanna use my stock inside D.A. for anything .. Photo manips, reference for drawings, paintings or 3d work hell even A.V. is ok with me just follow the above rule and we will not fall out :)


USAGE
Use, abuse, confuse, rape, pillage and murder to your hearts content, but let me know one way or the other, Christ its what its there for.



CREDIT & LINKING

If you use any thing, please provide a link in your description either to my front page or the page of the stock picture. Also I ask you let me know some how, either post me a note, comment on the stock page you used, put an entry in my journal or leave a message on the answering machine if I’m out :), I WILL comment :) I ain’t nasty.



WHERRE YOU CAN USE MY STOCK

Please only use my stuff inside DA, I am not arsy, if you want to use outside just ask, sure we can come up with a plan.



THE OWNER

Don’t poke fun at the owner she bites :D



REQUESTS

If you see something and you think "hey thats nice but ..." drop me a note I am open to looking for something specific that you are after photo wise :)



AVI'S AND JOURNALS

If you want to use my stock for Avatars, journal back grounds or account I.D's then please ask up front .. I have never refused and probably won't just please ask through courtesy :) BUT ASK UPFRONT



STOCK AS STOCK

I kindly ask that you do not repost any work that utilities my stock as stock in your own right. I don't want to stop people doing work with my stock as manips them selves, but as hard as you try to get people to credit the original stock provider they are just not following the rules and getting back to me and this is getting to be a pain so sorry as of now I as you to post anything as a NONE STOCK dev .. thanks



PRINTS

I have granted FULL blanket permissions for my stock to be used INSIDE DA for prints ... all I ask is that you drop me a note to tell me about your dev and that you just let me know you are submitting for a print, no email is needed from myself to the print admin team now .... Please this does NOT grant you print or commercial usage outside DA without express permission from myself.



D.A. CONTESTS

Please DO NOT use my stock for commercial competitions run either inside or outside D.A. this does not affect you using my stock on contests run within D.A. by fellow artists like *ManipulateThis or other stock artist friends of mine, it is purely for commercial work, This is stuff like the recent Delerium album cover contest run by DA. If you do I WILL contact the people and ask for it to be removed from their contest ... I know this may sound a little harsh but it is MY artwork and generally I will not get credited in the contest and it could be seen the world over ...


-= Thanks for listening =-



NOTE - Rant please read

If you use my stock, you MUST credit me ... I have seen some devs that have used my picture's but with no acknowledgment. I have never asked for anything to be removed from DA and I don't want to make you the first victim. I know my stuff is in the public eye and you can get your own picture's if you want (or lived in England) but I have gone to the effort to share this stuff with you and you have spent the time doing your dev, so the least you can do is spend 10 seconds to credit me. Thank you rant over .......
