All the images uploaded here (apart from everything in my Artwork and Photos Folders) are stock, to be used for PHOTO-MANIPULATION purposes and are free to use. You do NOT need my permission to use them in your manips or to post your work outside DA. Prints on DA are absolutely fine. I am also very happy for them to be used as references for traditional artists.
Please link back to me (in the description is fine) and let me know (via comment or note) - so that I can see what you have created and add it to my Favourites and Features

Don't repost my stock anywhere and claim it as yours - these stocks are produced entirely from my own photographs and are copyrighted, they are NOT to be uploaded to Wallpaper sites and please don't hotlink to them from any other site. If you link to them I will make a formal complaint and issue a DMCA notice.
You can make premade backgrounds from my stock as long as you don't charge people for them (points or money). I reserve the right to add any piece of art created from your background to my favourites list as My Stock Used and to feature these works of art in my Journal.
If you are going to use my stock in anything commercial please note me, I'm not going to say no - I just want to know - so that something doesn't come as a surprise and I'm not going to ask you for money either - it's YOUR art..........if you can't contact me via note (I may be away) then please go ahead and use the stock in your commercial project but drop me a note anyway.
The same rules apply to my brushes - totally unrestricted - please do not upload them to any other site or hotlink to them.
Please do not use my stock in conjunction with copyrighted material (i.e. material that is not offered as stock (free or paid for)) - this includes celebrity photos and images that you found on Google.
I reserve the right to ban any person from using my stock - I offer it free of charge but it doesn't mean it isn't copyrighted.
If you have any other questions about usage, please drop me a note or email
