NFTs, Crypto, & Other Web3/Blockchain/Metaverse Garbage
The answer is No, to everything. I do not need or want "support" from you or your awful community. You may not use my artwork for anything, ever. Shove your hypercapitalist bullshit up your ass and waddle off in whatever direction you'd like, as long as it continues away from me forever.

Sharing on Social Media
✦ Don't crop/edit out my signature, or post edits of my art.
✦ Don't re-post my artwork on platforms I already exist on. Share my own post of it instead. If you can't find my post, don't re-post it for me, just contact me and I'll dig it up for you or maybe re-post it myself so you can retweet/reblog/etc.
✦ If you're sharing on a platform I'm not on, share with a link back to the post/tweet/etc. you found it in or to my website. Don't just share the image. Be nice and link!
✦ Please don't share my artwork in places where credit tends to go missing, ex. Facebook groups where a lot of people are reposting stuff without credit.
✦ If you use Pinterest or a similar site, make sure you are DIRECTLY linking to the source of the artwork, ex. the tweet or tumblr post it's in. A lot of times it'll just pull the page number of a blog or a link to your home feed, and that won't take people to the actual source.
✦ If you are a news/entertainment site and you want to put something I drew in your listicle or whatever, contact me with your offer of legal United States currency!
✦ Do not feed my art to content aggregators, ex 9GAG, Cheezburger, FunnyJunk, and so on. I really fucking hate coming across my work crunched up into a horrid malformed JPEG with someone else's shitty logo strip covering my signature.
✦ If you have any questions, contact me.

Other Uses
My artwork is not public domain and it does not exist to be sliced up and redistributed as "free transparent pngs" or "clipart" or "renders". Contrary to popular belief, the phrases "fair use" and "no copyright intended" will not protect you, and "I found it on Google" is not an excuse. Purchasing physical copies of my artwork or obtaining a hi-res copy through my patreon or ko-fi also does not grant you a commercial license; that is simply Not How Copyright Works.

Why so picky about reposts? Don't you want exposure?
Unfortunately, reposts aren't always good for artists, even properly credited-- usually they benefit the account that does the reposting more than they help us. It's also a way that art gets further divorced from its original source.

One last note...
I am disabled and only able to work a "real job" part-time, meaning I have a lot of time on my hands. I'm also frequently in a shitty mood from chronic pain and I am a petty, vengeful bitch. When I find someone yanking my stuff I do not say please or thank you. I do not play nice.
I don't love that things are Like This! I don't love that I have to be all aggro about protecting my art but unfortunately under capitalism, I kind of have to.
