| Everyone always wants to know what they can and can't use
when it comes to artwork. I know, I used to snatch it up and
create online galleries of my favorite anime! So let me please
lay out all of answers to all of your questions pertaining to
the usage of my web graphics and art. I ask for just a little
bit of your time to read through these so that we can curve
away from problems in the future. Thank you! |

| Avatars,
Website Decoration, Non-Profit Sites |
For all of these please do not alter any of
the images.
I have no issue with my artwork being used for forum avatars
and profile images. But I do ask that you place my name and
a link back to my site in your posting signature or if its
for a profile image in the profile description. It should
look something like this Artwork © Sara M Butcher

| For usage on a website please feel free to use a couple to
decorate! For example an image in your menu bar, or an intoductory
image. Again all I ask for in return is recognition and a link
back directly below the image you are using. Artwork

. Very important! Please don't hot link to my images. My bandwith
can't handle it, which in turn if I loose bandwidth your image
on your site may not show! Bad for both parties. So please download
the image onto your harddrive and then reupload it to your site.
Thanks so much! |

| Printing & Reproduction |
| This is an obvious no, please don't do it. The reason is I
offer prints and I have licensing partners that offer many other
products with my images on them. If you print off from my site
or reproduce my prints you are infringing on me and my partners
which demands a call for lawsuit. No one wants to deal or pay
for that so lets make sure we don't go there. If you by chance
come across my work being reproduced or sold and you don't find
the licensor's company or name on this site, please notify
me as soon as you can! |

| Signatures, Tags, & Tubes |
Being an online gamer (back in the day), using
an image in your signature was HUGE! It gave everyone a visual
as to who or what you looked like. Totally cool right? The
great news is now there's a way for both parties, user and
artist, to distribute and add theses niffty characteristics!
It's by teaming up with C.I.L.M!
They make it easy, convienant, and the work they do is awesome!
Once you purchase a sig, tag, or tube its yours to use for
life IF you follow all of their rules and regulations...so
make sure you read those. It's inexpensive and credits me,
the artist, for you.
Just visit, find the work you want, click, and pay. All online!
You can make phone orders, paypal orders, even money order/check
orders. Also they have a great community that you can join
and there's just so much there you'll spend at least an hour
browsing! |

| For Tattoos |
Very popular! Already I have had several orders for tattoo
designs and permission to use images for tattoos. I have no
problem allowing my work to be used as a tattoo design (for
non-profit only). There is a proceedure for releasing an image
to be a tattoo, but don't worry, it hurts far less than the
tattoo itself.
There are two things you can do, but you have to do one or
the other.
- Purchase a print and in the comments section of CHECKOUT
please indicate that you will be using this for a tattoo.
I will then send you a personal email with a contract/terms
attached and the small fee notice. Yes, there's a tiny fee...you're
buying the rights to use the image for life (assuming you
keep the tattoo). Reply with your agreement and you're good
to go.
- Email me and tell me what image you want to use as a tattoo.
I will then send you the contract/terms with the small fee
notice and once you reply with your agreement all will be
billed together.
I also take tattoo requests. Having a design background I
love creating celtic knot work, symbols, etc. The request
is also a great way to have a piece you really want...but
just the line art. I keep my sketches (most of them) and can
easily recreate the image with just line. The options are
endless! Please contact
me for any inquries. |
