This post has been a long time coming but it seemed like a good idea to post something official about the status of my images / copyright. It turns out that my work has turned up in a number of places – some of it without my knowledge / consent. So this is where I remind visitors that all images on this blog are COPYRIGHTED. That means you can’t post them to your blog / photobucket / website without incurring my wrath (unless of course we’ve had some sort of conversation).

You ABSOLUTELY cannot edit / change my images and then put them on your blog / glog / or YouTube video. That’s not what they are for.

The wallpapers that appear almost everyday are for personal use only. So if you like what you see and want it for your background – go for it. A comment / note back that you are using said wallpaper would be appreciated (but is not absolutely necessary).
The only exception to this is my Chag Imageswhich are meant to be used as needed by the wider Jewish Community and those are not copyrighted.

If you are a fellow blogger and you want to put my stuff on your blog, please ask me nicely and I’ll tell you how to attribute / acknowledge the source. Rest assured that if you are a non-profit entity, then most of the time, I’m happy to share but attribution is not optional.

If you are a commercial enterprise and want to use my work, I have great news. It’s all for sale! You can either deal direct or you can grab it off Shutterstock. Needless to say I’d appreciate the support. The “Starving” in “Starving Artist” simply does not hold that much appeal.

If you are looking for images that you can use without infringing copyright / stepping on anyone’s toes, your best option is to use content that is either in the Public Domain (eg: something from pixabay) or content that has been licensed using Creative Commons (please make sure that you provide attribution if required by the CC license).

I’m done “ranting” and my customary fractal / Gratitude Item will be back tomorrow.
