Why I Watermark:
Back in 2004(ish) my entire website & dA gallery were ripped off, tubed and redistributed to the tagging community. Without my permission.

I used to watermark small, because people would complain and I thought it was obscuring my artwork. But that didn’t deter these people from removing my watermark and any trace of my actual signature. I found my images everywhere, IMVU, Cafepress, Photobucket, where people were making money off of my hard work and not seeing one penny of it. In fact it ruined my online sales.

So yeah trusting random strangers, out the window, and I have a complete distrust of any tube/tagging community.

Also it’s a HUGE reason why I don’t paint fairy’s anymore.

Contests:
As a general rule I don’t and will not enter contests. I’m a professional artist and expect to be treated as such. Entering contests takes time away from my clients & contract work. Besides these contests are not about the better piece of art, it’s a popularity contest, which I detest.

Prints & Originals
I retain all rights to my work whether it’s prints or sold originals. When purchased, the buyer has not purchased; the character, copyrights, reproduction rights, nor the right to display this piece in a gallery, in print, or on a web site (either by itself or as part of a collection) without the artists prior permission or proper compensation.

Web Sites:
I’ve had many requests from people wishing to use my artwork to decorate their web site or their discussion group (yahoo groups or msn groups). The answer is ‘NO”, If I find my artwork being displayed in this manner without my permission, I will contact your Server Admin or ISP to provide them with the necessary proof & DMCA Forms and have it removed immediately.

Tubing & Tagging:
I will not grant permission to anyone seeking to use my artwork for tubing, tagging, signature images, and stationary. I put a lot of time and effort into my works, and I feel disrespected when I find that someone has taken it upon themselves to deface or alter my vision and hard work. There are many other artists on the web that allow their artwork to be used for this I am not one of them.

My Work as your Tattoo:
I think it’s a great honor for someone to like a piece of mine so much that they want it with them forever. If you’d like to use any of my existing pieces for a tattoo, all I ask is that you purchase an 11×17 print to take to your tattoo artist, just let me know if you need a permission certificate. However I will not provide electronic versions of my original sketches or original artwork.
