What I Mean By That
• You may not repost any material on this website for your own uses without first obtaining express written permission from me via e-mail giving you leave to do so. If you simply wish to share something you've seen here with others, please link them here directly instead. You do not need to ask my permission to share content on my site through linking, either on your own or through bookmarking sites such as StumbleUpon or Digg, but you do need it if you want to actually copy and repost something to a website or blog of your own.
• My artwork is not part of the public domain! This means that it is not stock art free for your use in the making of web layouts, graphics, avatars, or anything else. I can't possibly stress that strongly enough. If you wish to use one of my images for such purposes, you need to obtain written permission from me as the copyright owner before doing so. You must also be willing to post my full name, Shannon Hilson, as the original artist of the work, as well as link back to my website so people who like it know where to find me if needed or desired. If you are not willing to do this, then you will not be allowed to use my work. No exceptions.
• For additional model credits, and further information on stock and resources used in the creation of my art, please visit my gallery at Deviant Art here and click on the thumbnail of the image you're curious about. You will find links to the corresponding stock sources listed as part of the artist's statement.
