A whole slew of people have asked me if they can use some of my stuff to make tags, backgrounds, etc. And if I allow tubing. And since I'm rather lazy about responding to each one, I'm going to make a blanked statement here.

Yes, you may use my work for these purposes, BUT!, I have a few stipulations, none of which should be out of the ordinary:

1. It's not to be used for profit. If it's a situation where I'D be getting a piece of it myself, I might be open to that, but it's something I'd have to discuss on a case-by-case basis.

2. My work is not to be presented as anyone else's work. It's a fancy way of saying I want to be credited. A link to this gallery would be a good start.

3. It is not to be used to promote any political or social ideology or issue. Even if you think its something I'd agree with, you can't be sure. You're welcome to seek special permission, but don't be offended if I say no.

4. My work is not to be portrayed negatively. This one is probably superfluous as anyone who'd use my work to insult me would be unlikely to seek my permission first. All the same, I think it's worth mentioning.

5. Finally, let me see it! That's not a condition so much as a request. It's not so I can closely scrutinize it, I'm just curious to see what you come up with. I'm seen a couple already and they're very nice.

And if you want to do something that's not mentioned here, feel free to drop me a line.
