If you belong to one of the signature tag/banner/stationary groups, you don't have to email me to ask for permission ( I get way too many emails about this already). You can safely assume that you have my permission--assuming you comply with the following:

1) You credit the source and provide a link back to me when possible.

2) The only changes you make to my artwork is resizing and cropping to fit your needs, and adding of text/border. Punching out the background of my paintings or any other type of editing is not ok.
