These are the guidelines for using Gail Gastfield's artwork:


I generally allow my images to be used on personal web pages, signature tags and correspondence, so long as it is for non-commercial purposes and you leave my copyright statement (“© Gail Gastfield”) intact and legible on each image and include it and a link to my site in the body of the web page. Animation, cropping and removing backgrounds are ok but I don’t want the artwork to be distorted, made out of proportion or altered so much that it is unrecognizable.

I do NOT want my work to be used in collections of downloadable net graphics, for virtual postcards or greeting cards or similar uses. Even though these uses are usually not commercial, it tends to infer that the artwork is free for all to download at will. As a professional artist whose work represents my livelihood, as well as my reputation, I feel it is important to retain more control of the way in which my work is used.

For graphics groups: the graphics created by members can be shared with others in the group as long as all are made aware of the use restrictions and copyrights. I also prefer that my work not be used within adult only, sexually explicit groups.

Thank you for your appreciation of my artwork.
