Sharing on Social Media
✦ Don't crop/edit out my signature, or post edits of my art.
✦ Please try not to 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 generous offer of legal United States currency!
✦ Do not feed my art to content aggregators, ex 9GAG, Cheezburger, FunnyJunk, and so on. I do not want to come across my artwork being passed around as a crunched-up JPEG with a shitty logo over my signature.

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.
