COMMERCIAL USE DETAILS

**READ FIRST***

My Digital Art must not be the CORE VALUE of your finished, for sale product, be extractable as a high-resolution graphic or sold on a Print on Demand platform. 

This license is for small business only; you must have a hand in the production OR physical representation of the product (like at a craft fair or your local shops), it does NOT extend to mass production, large corporations, or 3rd party art licensors, like selling on the walmart or amazon platforms.

CORE VALUE:  If you take away the art, will it still be a product?

A t-shirt is still wearable without the art, text is still readable without the pattern background paper applied to it, A journal is still writable, but a piece of clipart dragged onto a white background and sold or given away for free as printable wall art, would not be usable without my art.

Some level of effort or value must be included within anything you are giving away or selling. Please email me with any questions about licensing or for special reproduction licensing permission, I will work with you!
