Meet the Herd

As I near the 5,000 mark, I’ve decided it’s time to establish the stance I have on my creations, whether it’s photography, drawings, or writing. Most everyone worries about their work being utilized without their permission, or “ripped.” In fact, many artists here (and elsewhere) have experienced such, and it seems a very painful process to go through. Therefore, I hope I can make my position clear and stop any misconceptions people may have when they visit my page or any of my work.

I do not allow anything of mine to be reproduced in any form or manner without permission. However, this expectation is different on deviantART.com with things such as thumbnails and groups. Here, I have submitted more than several deviations for exhibition to groups I belong, and made deviantStamps. Everything falls within the acceptable limits of usage on deviantART, and not beyond that. None of my work can be taken for use (without mypermission), even if I am credited or linked to. If I find anything has been taken for profit, no excuses. You’ll be hearing from my lawyer.

Also, to be clearer for other deviants: none of my things can be used utilized for your purposes (such as layouts, wallpapers, or photo manipulations), unless categorized and specified as “stock.” And if you do use them or gain permission for other materials, they may not be used as profit (until I allow otherwise).

I strictly believe in deviantART.com’s infringement policy: [link]

Now, this may seem cold and commanding, but don’t let it stop you from approaching me. If you would like to use something of mine, just ask. Even if it’s not under stock, I’d probably be willing to help you out. However, please contact me before you do anything with it. I don’t like to be cornered. If we have a good interaction, I’ll definitely feature the derivative work or such as thanks.

All the above extends also onto anything I may have posted on other sites, such as my YouTube and facebook accounts, or my website.

The following websites/groups/and their members have my permission to use my photography for their purposes:

UMass Belted Galloway Group: [link]
UMass Dorset Sheep Group: [link]

This stance is subject to change and be updated, whether it’s restrictions or the above list of enabled users.

Thanks.
