It has come to my attention that recently a member of out little community has left under less than favorable circumstances, and people were quite upset for one reason or another because of her final request.
I've become aware that many commissioners are now reluctant to buy art, because they now realize that the ToS gives the artist the ability to retroactively deny customers the right to display their art. While I understand that for some artists this is a perfectly appropriate contingency, which most will never use, for commissioners it is unacceptable to lose privileges they thought were bought and paid for.
In fact, I'll go a step further and demonstrate my empathy for my customers. When you commission art from me, unless it is otherwise agreed, you have the permanent, irrevocable right to display that art anywhere you want with or without my permission. Furthermore, if I ever do request that art commissioned from me be taken down by a commissioner, it will be just that, a request. And the commissioner will be fully within their rights to refuse.
This is just for the commissioners, however. I reserve the right to request my art be taken down when it is displayed by people other than the commissioner. While I don't expect this will be applied much, it would be important to maintain for the sake of discouraging art theft and fraud. I'm actually perfectly fine with most of my art being reuploaded to other galleries, provided I'm given credit. With the exception of commissions, which may only be uploaded with express permission from either myself or the commissioner. Or other pieces which I have clearly stated may not be redistributed without permission, such as exclusive items like portfolios, collections, or comics.
Feel free to screenshot this journal for record keeping if you plan to commission me.
