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.

        1. Hi!

          I’ve used a brush set from you, for a project a woman and her husband have. They are going to make a CD which is a trubute to people with cancer and they need a cover for it. I wondered if it’s okay. I don’t know if they are going to sell this, but if they are is it okay anyway?

          Greetings from Norway =)

        2. Will definately credit you hun… and thankyou for getting back to me..
          Your brushes are just amazing.. and you put a lot of work into them.. can’t wait to get some out now.. and be able to donate a little to your site :)

          Thankyou.

        3. Nikki, you can use my brushes for any commercial purpose as long as you are not re-distributing them in their original format.
          It would be nice to give me some credits on your site though.

          Cheers,
          Silvia

        4. Hi..

          Am looking at taking some of my polymer stamp range over to digital downloads.

          Am I right in understanding correctly that your brushes can also be used for this as long as they are not in their original format and are a design made up from using the brushes.

          Just want to confirm before I do anything with them..

          Cheers hun.

        5. Yes, Ina you can use them… and I will be happy if you can send me JPG of the cover :) Maybe I can write a post about it?
          Cheers,
          S :)

        6. Hi:)…i want use your hair brush (free) in project of cd cover for my client (music band).Can i have your permission. I can’t provide a link back on this cover but if you say yes it would be nice:)
          Greetings,Ina.

        7. Absolutely! I will add a link to your site on my blog and will also include it in any TOU that will apply! Thank you so very much!

        8. Yes, Shannon, you can use my free brushes for your free and commercial projects. It would be nice if you mention where you got them, or put a link on your site though.
          Have fun!
          Silvia

        9. Hi! I went thru all of the comments and didnt find the specific answer and I am so bad at interpreting TOU so I figured I will just ask…Are we allowed to use the FREE brushes to make items that will go into digital scrapbooking kits, like for a paper or an embellishment? Some of the kits will be freebies and I would like to one day sell my kits. Would this fall in line with your TOU for the FREE brushes? Thanks for the help!
