Terms of Use

I am receiving a lot of questions about commercial usage of my brushes and other artwork that is available on this blog. Most of you, naturally, understand that I invest lot of work, time and effort to create and offer free brushes and other free resources on this blog.

Now, here is the deal:

ALL WORK ON GRAPHIC-ILLUSTRATIONS.COM BLOG IS PROTECTED BY COPYRIGHT AND/OR OTHER APPLICABLE LAW. ANY USE OF THE WORK OTHER THAN AS AUTHORIZED UNDER THIS LICENSE OR COPYRIGHT LAW IS PROHIBITED.

OK. So, general idea is:
All artwork here is offered for you to create your own designs with it. Naturally, you are then the owner of all artwork you derive from the artwork offered on my blog.

Here is more details:

1.5. YOU MIGHT even consider purchasing the PREMIUM version of the brushes

        1. I don’t want to be redundant, but I just want to make sure I use your brushes correctly (they are fantastic by the way!). I would like to use them in two ways:

          1. As a part of my blog design

          2. Incorporated into photo greeting cards that I design and resell

          I will provide a link to you in my credits page in both places.

          Is this ok?

        2. Thank you SO much for your generosity! You have some amazing talent and I cannot tell you how much I appreciate the chance to try them out before purchasing. I am just dipping a toe in the waters of designing digitally and it’s wonderful to have such a great resource to help. I will be sure to credit you in any TOU’s with a link as well!

        3. You are my dirty little secret and I don’t feel like sharing, am I a terrible person! Your stuff helps me make some wonderfully original stuff.

        4. Sure dream, that’s fine.

        5. thanks for the brushes their beautiful. i would love to use your brushes in my poster, flyer and logo designs that i may do for ppl. however since i cant give you direct credit on the item is that ok?however on several profile pages that i show off my work i can add a link to this page.

        6. This is a great site! Thanks for the freebies! I’ve backlinked your site to mine. I’m trying to do my own thing too but can’t seem to get my “Shopping Nook” area to work. Anyway, thanks again, I’ll definitely be back!

        7. That’s terrific! Thanks for your hard work and beautiful creative efforts!

        8. Yes AW – that’s OK.
          You can give me back link or something… :)

          Cheers,
          S*

        9. I love your work! I would like to ask you a question about your licensing rights on the products that I purchase from you. I would like to use some of the content (brushes) in products for resale (e.g. cards). Is that ok?

        10. You’re brushes are amazing… Thanks so much for letting usstarting out have a few for free.

          I will be making invites & Canvas designs for sale, so can’t credit you on the actual items, but will for sure link back to your site on my website.

          Cheers
          Ree
