Thanks Susan for your contact and request to use my
artwork images for signature tags, and or incredimail,
please feel free to use up to ten (10)images "per user
group" with my best wishes, however I do require that
any artwork selected will "NOT" be sold, bartered or
used to profit from in any manner whatsoever! That
means never sold directly or indirectly and not used
on a for profit or money making website!
No TUBES please! What I mean by tubes is the removal
of individual subject matter from within the image and
placing it
on a different background or in another background
picture or scene! (Example: removing one or more
individual animals from the others in an image, I feel
defeats the purpose of what I intended for the the
design as a whole!)
Adding interesting edges and backgrounds to the
entire image, Edge feathering, Sparkles, Glitter, and
Animation are all OK, except when it transforms my
artwork into something humorous or obscene, if there
is any question about this, send me a jpeg of your
creation and I will be the final judge of it!
Each design that is used requires a copyright notice
and a link to my website at:
I have had some trouble recently with copyright
infringement and improper use of my images on sites
such as Ebay and others, I am hoping that in exchange
for permission to work with my designs, many of you
will help me monitor the situation out there, If you
notice my work being sold or used improperly please
let me know so as I may take care of it quickly!
