In between the craziness of getting ready to move and general daily life, I've gotten a small portfolio up and running. Click to take a look ^^

Of course, for a more comprehensive gallery, my DeviantArt gallery is updated frequently, and is a good archive of my work over the past few years.

Oh, for the love of Mike, do I really need to give a lesson in what "copyright" means?

Look, the art contained on these pages is mine. Mine, as in, not yours. It is not free. It is not clip art. I spent time thinking about these images, spent time drawing and coloring them. You did not.

What I'm getting at here, people, is don't steal my doodles! I put them up here for various reasons-- to promote my work, for others to look at and enjoy. Now, I don't mind if you save an image or two or more to your computer for personal use, for your desktop, stuff like that. I don't have a problem with that in the least-- knock yourself out :) However, do not, I repeat DO NOT take my art and 1.) alter it in any fashion and then try to say it's yours, 2.) present it on your website/blog/whatever without my permission* 3.) take it and then try to sell it on Cafe Press, Zazzle, etc. 4.) hotlink** it from my site. It makes me extremely cranky when people do this-- it's dishonest, rude, and (let's admit it) downright tacky. Don't think I don't know that you're doing this-- you may not see it, but all stats and bandwidth are recorded for me, presented in pretty little packages of graphs and pie charts of what is happening at which hour.

I enjoy my website, and I enjoy my art, and I want others to enjoy it as well, but please, people, have some respect!

^{*Email me and ask for permission. If I say no, please respect that. But take a chance-- I may agree to let you use something :)}

^{**hotlinking is when you copy an image location from a website and plug it into your own site/blog/whatever. Your page may get hits, but for every time someone's browser loads the image you're linking from my (or someone else's) page, it takes away my/their bandwidth. There's a decent enough Wikipedia article on it here.}

Here we go-- I'm selling off some of my original art. Not much just yet, but a few choice pieces are now up for grabs here: Sale Gallery

Included are the pencils for the Queen of Swords, and Tarot and Ouija from Halloween 2004, and I'm also accepting commissions.

If there's a piece of art that you might be interested in that I haven't listed as for sale, contact me and ask. Many of the pieces already belong to someone else, but it doesn't hurt to inquire; I might be able to do an original for you along a similar vein.
