Greetings from Nene Thomas Illustrations!
Sure thing! Just remember to have all my copy right info "copyright Nene Thomas"EMBEDDED into each image of mine that you use. Anyone may use any of my images on a noncommercial site so long as they give me proper credit.
The reasons I ask those who are displaying my art on their pages to embed my copyright information is because although you have asked for permission to use my work, what about people that copy my work from your site and use it for themselves? This is where a vast majority of the problem comes from: if someone sees my work on your site and likes it, they can copy the picture directly from you and use it without ever contacting me in the first place, thereby circumventing the rules. I am very easy to work with: as long as my rules are adhered to, I have no problems with people doing tags or websets or the like.
 The way you embed my information is as follows: take the image into photoshop (or whatever paint program you use) and add a line at the bottom of the image that says “© Nene Thomasâ€. It doesn’t have to be big, but it does have to be legible, and it has to be on the image…not below it. This is so some unscrupulous individual out there doesn’t take the image off of your site and crop out the copyright information. I would appreciate a link back to my website, but that doesn’t have to be on the image, just on the page that the image is displayed on your website. Just having a link to me on the "links page" is not good enough. Once you have finished, please send us your web site address so we can add you to our "Friends of Nene" page!
