Dear Mr. Kiernan,    I am writing to you to request permission to use your artwork.    I am the asst. Manager of an MSN computer hobbyist group that makes signature tags and websets.  We all share the love of your art and use Paint Shop Pro by ©Jasc to make our creations.      Our group is very copyright conscious and include each artist's name and web address on all work created.  Our members must also complete a copyright class before they are allowed to do any offers on our site.  We believe in requesting an artist's permission before using the artwork.       None of the tags or websets created are sold or bartered for money or otherwise; nor are they used in any commercial setting.        Will you grant your permission for us to use your artwork?  If so, please advise on the use of tubing and animation.                                                      Thank-you for your time.                                                             Sincerely,                                                      Susan Sigvaldson                                                      (Signature Designz)

From: Kenny Kiernan Date: 01/12/06 14:04:26 To: Susan Sigvaldson Subject: Re: Written Permission Request       Hey Susan -- Thanks for the email! Yes, you have my permission, thanks for asking   �?here's the TOU I've been sending out to PSP'ers: I'm cool with using my work for non-commercial signature tags and   email stationery, websets, etc. (except for the "big corporation   stuff": see disclaimer below), as long as: 1) You don't alter the line work of the characters themselves,   although tubes, resizing, simple animations and adding little   sparkles/glitter, etc. is fine with me. 2) You include my copyright   info and URL (© Kenny Kiernan, and KennyK.com, link if possible) and   3) You send me an occasional link to a temporary non-password- required page where I can grab a bunch of the images, or send me   copies of a few accumulated tags at a time, because I'd like to know   what's being done with the work (without having to join a group and   do that whole password/page navigation thing which becomes time   consuming real quick). Here's my disclaimer about The Big Corporation Stuff: Unfortunately,   some suit-and-tie corporate people get unreasonably bent out of shape   when they discover anyone's using an image they may have had some   involvement with previously. I'd prefer to avoid that whole hassle   completely, so I can't allow the use of images on my site that I've   identified as a corporate job. In other words, none of the Gap,   Hasbro, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell stuff, etc –�?except where it's   listed as a "design" (which implies that the art was submitted but   not used as the final product �?so the ESPN/Fisher-Price sports kids   are OK, the Hasbro rock band characters are OK.) What can also be used: any images listed as stickers, self-promotion,   Mendola Artists Calendar art, e-cards, postcards, editorial/spot   illustrations for magazines, comp/concept art, comics, go for it! And here's a hidden PSP'ers-only page with some new sticker girls: http://www.kennyk.com/glamgang.htm Thanks for getting my work out there, I'm looking forward to seeing   the stuff! I'd also like to invite you and any of your members who   might be interested to join my own brand-new MSN group, Kenny K's   Kool World (http://groups.msn.com/KennyKsKoolWorld) which we just   launched New Year's day �?activities, contests, prizes, all that   stuff, and of course, lots of Kool tags! Can I put my banner up in   your group? I'm working on getting my online store open sometime in February with   t-shirts, stickers, buttons, etc., and will be sending out an   announcement e-mail when it's up and running. Would you please pass   on the info to your group? thanks very much! Kenny K �?/DIV>
