Privacy Policy
Inkbunny's founder was once a happy Director at "ACME Computer Co." with dreams of corporate wealth and success.
But after devoting all his time and money to "ACME Computer Co.", working 7 days a week for over 5 years, all he got in return was a lot of stress, wasted time, unhappiness, bankruptcy and a stomach ulcer.
He decided it was time to do something rewarding and fun instead, even if it wouldn't make him rich.
From that day forward he vowed to use his management and coding super powers for good, instead of evil.
So he fired himself from his old company, and then dedicated his life to creating his dream art site.
He would give something back to the furry community that had given him so much over the years.
“I can make my dream art site in 3 months!”, he inaccurately said. And 12 months later, with a lot of help from good friends, it was ready.
The result is a community art site that regards freedom of artistic expression as a top priority, gives users as much power over their own accounts as possible and provides professional tools for artists to showcase their work, sell it or share it freely.
The Inkbunny team takes great pride in its professionalism and conduct. Inkbunny is run as a professional commercial site, while maintaining its focus on benefiting the furry art community.
Inkbunny will always be free to use. Inkbunny does not make money off paid advertising, sales fees or membership fees.
If you want to support the Inkbunny community, the best way is to support the artists! By purchasing their work, you encourage them to make more of the art you love, and to work on bigger and better projects.
Donations directly to Inkbunny go towards funding hosting costs, staff costs, business costs and the continued development of the site and its capabilities well into the future.
We are always looking for ways to improve Inkbunny. Please contact us with any suggestions. We have a reputation for implementing cool ideas very quickly.
