Artist's Comments

Here's a stamp I made to show my support of copyrights! ^_^
I'm really big on respecting copyrights - I don't take commissions of copyrighted characters, I don't sell fanart, and I don't buy fanart. It's illegal and I feel that it's wrong. So, if you want to show your respect of copyrighted materials, feel free to put this stamp wherever you want. ^_^ I can't put this stamp in my own journal, sadly (no sub T_T) but I would like to see if pop up in other places.

Template graciously supplied by They have tons of great photoshop rescources - Check 'em out!

Whoo! ^_^
I mean, I love fanart (~Hail-NekoYasha comes to mind) but it's just really annoying how people seem to think it's okay to make money off of other people's characters.

Uh...not to disagree or anything, but I'd like to point out that in Japan, doujins are perferctly legal. The easoning behind this - Doujins will increase interest, therefore increasing sales of the copyrighted product. Just thought you'd find that interesting. CLAMP, for example, started off with fancomics.

Oh, I know that - But I live in the US, and therefore I have to abide by US law. That, and I just think it's wrong to profit off of someone else's creation. If someone started selling fanart of my characters (which are all legally copyrighted through the US gov't) I would go after them. I know it sounds harsh, but it's not like I'm some company making millions - I would like the profits from my characters and story ideas. ^_^
Then again, to me, my characters are like family or good friends. Most of them have been a part of my work for ten years - Some of them even longer.

I see your point. I'm just saying that fancomics can actually help the big name animes. Personal stuff like you're work, that I agree with entirely.

They can, but if they're sold in the US, that doesn't stop it from being illegal. *shrug* I'm just worried that the visual art community will get all crazy over-scrutinized like the music industry is. That, and as a professional artist, I don't want to do anything even approaching illegal; that sort of thing can ruin my career, low on the ladder as I am right now.
