What you may and may not do with my art...

Attention Signature Artists:
I'm happy to announce that the SharpTattoos faery and fantasy images will be available for use to signature artists again soon!
I've always loved seeing what others created with my art. Revoking permission was one of the most difficult decisions I've had to make since being online. Numerous e-mails rolled in and your perseverance did not go unnoticed. Apparently it wasn't just me you were writing to... I was contacted by Anthony Guerra of Creative Image Licencing & Management.
Signature packages will be available for purchase starting on April 3rd 2006 from Creative Image Licensing & Management (CILM) only. Please refer to their website for the Terms of Use.
So, let the art flow... I can't wait to see what you come up with! More designs are on the way and as I accumulate enough, more signature packages will follow. Thank you for sticking with me through all of this and for your continued support.
Copying or referencing my art:
I realize that many artists learn from others art... and that's fine. If you recreate my art or use it for inspiration and plan on posting it online, please give credit where credit is due (©Stacey Sharp) and please, post a link to http://www.sharptattoos.com.
If you're learning from re-drawing my work, I really don't mind, but it's still my work. You're not creating the drawing from scratch, you're using my work as a reference... my anatomy, my composition, my colors, my art... and just because you 'adjusted' or 'eyeballed' it doesn't make it yours. Yes, you drew it, but mine remains the original.
Computer programs are fun to play with but changing colors of my art in a computer program does not give you the right to call that artwork your own.
Don't trace my image and then claim it as your own. It's not yours. If you do this, eventually it will get back to me. Keep it offline or give me credit. That's simple and much more respectable.
Using my artwork for tattoos is considered personal use...
Most of the designs and drawings in my art gallery will one day be tattoo flash. This means they will be available online and all over the world. If you like a piece of my art and would like to have it tattooed on you, make sure you customize/personalize it so that you have something that is unique to you. Something that makes it special... more personal to you.
*By artwork I mean the art in the art gallery, not tattoos that have already been rendered on someone else. Many of the tattoos in my gallery are custom, one-of-a-kind pieces and should stay that way. Use them for inspiration only.*
Resale of my art: And lets be very clear on this... Mass producing or selling ANYTHING with my art on it, including tattoo flash, is forbidden (aside from my art being reproduced as tattoos...) without obtaining permission from me in a written agreement/contract first!
