*Rules for using my stock are posted below this feature*

Thanks very much to all the artists who use my stock! I am always inspired and in awe of the new work I see every day, and honored that they work with my stock. Here are some of my recent favorites!

*********************************************

Rules for using my stock:

Feel free to use my images (on this account only) as stock so long as you:

-Link me to the deviation IN YOUR ARTIST"S COMMENTS.

-Note me that you have used it, either by sending a note or by commenting on the deviation used.

You do not need to ask my permission to use my stock pictures before you work with them, I only want to see your results afterwards.

-DO NOT use my stock for commercial or published purposes (other than dA or art gallery prints) without first requesting and receiving a signed written document with my permission. When I say "commercial use" what I mean is something beyond selling your artwork or prints of it. For example, if Virgin Records hires you to make a CD cover for a well known band and you use my image (other than just textures or objects), I need to get paid. I only mean "commerical" in terms of something major and mass produced. Small scale commerical use, like making a banner with my stock for your Etsy account, is totally fine so long as I get to see it.
-DO NOT place images made from my stock in the photography section, because I am the photographer, and sometimes my husband Darrick.
My images are not in the public domain, they may not be redistributed without permission, or posted as stock on other stock sites. Do not make stock from my stock.

I do NOT expect a fee or require special permission for things like:
General use of my stock just for fun
Using my stock for school projects or classes
Selling dA prints, so long as the deviation is reasonably different from my photo (ie, do more than change my color photo into black and white or run it through one filter)
Selling your own artwork or prints of it in a gallery or online sales portal (etsy, ebay, etc) so long as you have made it your own (reasonably different)

Permission is given to post artwork made with my stock on your own personal website or on other art websites, so long as you always credit me as the model and photographer and note me a link to the other site. The only stipulation there is: Don't use my stock on a website that is intended to promote something other than art, such as a religion, ideology, political party, etc, or anything that is prejudice or hateful.

Permission is given for use in work entered in contests, so long as I am credited/ linked when you are able.

Basically, there is no fee unless you intend to use my stock in a way that is mass produced and corporate and generates major moolah, ie, something corporate/large scale. If there is still any confusion about this feel free to note me. Mostly I just want to see all the cool stuff people make with my pictures!

I do not formally take requests due to time constraints (I spend more time painting than taking pictures). However, if you want to tell me about a great idea you have, feel free to note me and if I like it I might use the idea, but I can't promise it.

And in general, when you use my stock, please follow dA's rules about appropriate content.

Hello,

My name is Laurie Eno and I blog at The Daily Corgi: [link].

Just discovered the truly beautiful and touching photos of you with your Corgi and would absolutely love to share them on my blog. I've seen a great many Corgi photos, and these are among the finest I've yet laid eyes on! I am sure my readers would appreciate them as much as I do.

Because my blog is strictly "family friendly", I won't post any of the photos with nudity (though they are equally lovely).

Would you mind sending me an e-mail at thedailycorgi@gmail.com with permission (or not) for use of these photos? I have already "pinned" a few of them on The Daily Corgi's Pinterest account, on the Corgi Miscellany board: [link]. Beyond that, I'm not comfortable posting them anywhere without your written permission. Kindly note your deviant art "handle" (name) so that I can easily reference which photos I've inquired about. I get a ton of e-mail and that would make it easier.

Thank you very much, and Corgi On!


Laurie

Why, oh, why are you giving all this stuff away? I know you want to support the art community, a noble thing but you ought to try to support yourself, too. Sure, post some things for free, but really...

Maybe you think your work isn't world class, and that is likely to be true, but neither is most of the commercial photography. My sons tire of me tearing apart print ads because of amateur mistakes, yet I see far fewer overt mistakes in your photos.

I honest to god think you can make a moderate amount of money selling your stock. Maybe not enough to live on, but certainly enough for a fine vacation.

I'd like to hold on to some of the higher quality stuff and try to get it onto some other stock sites for pay. I tried to do one, but I didn't understand their submission requirements. Can't remember what it was called now. Do you know a good one?

Hello, I'm using one of your stock images and it could be used as an Ep cover for an underground metal band (it's not real yet, and without your permission, impossible, of course). It's a small release and they'd probably be unable to pay you. So from what i read, it's defenetly impossible, right?

Hello!
That usage is fine with me provided the cover image is more than just the stock image used as-is (so long as it has been made into something new and original, it is fine with me.) :)
Cheers!

Great stuff. I'm still needing to edit some works that I downloaded and will let you know the results. Thanks for the clear reminder on usage rules, too.

Will share with you once I get something done with the beautiful treasures you're so willing to share. My thanks to your hubby, too.

Blessings!
