Regarding copyrights

I don't make money off this blog. It's ad-free and will always be.If I've used an image that you hold the copyright to, consider a few options:

Ignore it. This is just one poorly-trafficked blog and it isn't commercial use.

Cash in. I'll be happy to link to a page where people can buy a print or the rights to use your image commercially.

Ask me to take down the image. I will; however I will also reserve the right to replace it with a statement about crybabies who have nothing better to do than make sure no one ever, ever gets to see any of their precious work without first stumping up for it.

And in that spirit, here's some of my work, absolutely free:

Come Tomorrow
Run For Your Life
Aranya's Last Voyage
Fade Out
In A Room, In A Body
Empty Dreams
