Dear friends and viewers,
I just wanted to show you my new calendar for 2010. You can have many landscapes in one calendar and, I think, it is wonderful!

About using my art: Answer to question:

I start receive MANY letters here and to my e-mail like this:
Can we use your art for non-commercial purposes, to do photoshop arrangements and so on, put blinks on the eyes and etc, I also saw examples of such arrangements, between innocent and nice works I saw some what I consider as vulgar,
so
My answer once at for all is that:

NO.

As soon as I don't have any control of it. Also I absolutely don't like an idea
to put any blinks to eyes to portraits, neither people on them want too. I even start think that I have to remove portraits from my gallery if I don't want to have bad surprises some day. Perhaps I did mistake when I put privet portraits here.
May be I wouldn't mind if people use landscapes and still lifes, but... I saw one example between many nice: on landscape of somebody are two vulgar nudes - I absolutely don't like it. And giving my permission I will allow such kind of works too, and I don't have such wish. It is not even question of money for me - it is that I don't want to transform my idea to something ugly.
I like when people are happy and I feel even not nice when I need to say "no", but ... I have to say "no".
Also I want to say, that I like many of works, what I saw, and I respect people who have such a hobby, especially when I see their beautiful works.
Because I received so much letters and I keep receiving them - I answering here for all of them.

I don't understand what deviants mean when they want to use "blinks" :confused: ~ your traditional art is fabulous, which is why I :+devwatch: you. Your work is your own and you should be able to choose just how it is used!

I've never heard of blinks. But it is good that you say no. Its your choice at the end of the day. I know i would't want anyone to use my art. Photos i dont mind as much.

Best answer for such things. I think it's also a matter of not letting people turn your art into kitsch.

i never understood using someone elses work to make something you can call your own or adding blinks or other random things.

I can see if it's for personal use (not posting not saving just learning) but you can get free stock and do that!

I completely understand it. It has happened for hundreds of years. It's usually done because the person has no talent of their own.
