Art Usage and Status

Status:
-------------

Art Requests: No
Art Trades: No
Commissions: Many apologies, but I am not taking commissions at this time.
Freelance Projects: I am not accepting any freelancing projects at this time. However, if you contact me, I might be able to recommend other artists to you!

Art Usage Conditions:
----------------------------

I'm not a huge copyright stickler for most of my artwork. You are free to use any of my art (Except for my Fuzz Academy art) in any of your personal and non-commercial uses. :heart: This includes but is not limited to: desktop wallpapers, tubes and Yahoo groups, collages, your personal website theme, your desktop theme, printing it out for personal reasons, your AIM/Twitter/whatever icon, your dA photomanip or mixed media project, etc. Just please don't put my art in things that might be offensive to the public, like porn or extreme violence or racist stuff. Otherwise, have fun! I know not everyone wants to be "improving their art" all the time and sometimes you just want to have some fun. Feel free to use and experiment to your heart's content. However, you may NOT use my art for any type of commercial reason (this includes submitting it in scholarship contests, art contests, or school assignments where you are just re-submitting my art unaltered for a grade). That's just unethical, dude.

Please do NOT use my Fuzz Academy art for any public reason, commercial or non-commercial, if it can be easily seen by others. (But you can definitely print it out and hang it in your room!)

Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone for all your amazing support for both Legend and Prodigy. I heard the news yesterday and became an absolute mess of emotions:

Prodigy debuts at #2 on the New York Times bestsellers list, and Legend comes in at #10 on the same list!

I can't believe it. I really can't. I don't think my high school writing-at-midnight self could ever have imagined this sort of thing coming true. It couldn't have happened without a team of brilliant people and the support of dedicated readers. Thank you all so much. :heart:

I'm an artist by trade, and I also write young adult novels. My debut novel, Legend, is the first book in a trilogy published by Penguin Group. Legend is now available wherever books are sold. The second book in the trilogy, Prodigy, comes out on Jan. 29, 2013! My writing is currently very dystopian, which is ironic, because I was born in 1984. I live in Los Angeles, California, where I spend my time stuck on the freeways.

Order Legend: IndieBound . Barnes & Noble . Amazon

The fact that you're one of those "Stays-up-late-to-write" types like me gives me hope for my spin-off fanfictions and old stories that I have yet to finish xD

I'm sure you get these a bunch, but I absolutely love your work! I had no idea that you had a deviantArt too! So imagine my total surprise to be browsing fan art and finding out you had one. :D I'd just like to say that Legend is one of my favorite books of all time and I almost cried in Prodigy. I'm anxiously awaiting the next book. :) I also made a book trailer in school for your book, it came out pretty good. Anyway, I just thought I'd say hi and just say what a wonderful writer and artist you are.
Your fan,

I just finished Prodigy today and may I say I love it! I have fallen in love with your books and I can't wait for the third book to come out. I was instantly hooked when I first picked up Legend. You're characters are just so amazing. I just adore Day and June. Please keep up the good work.

So, this comment's gonna be super dweeby but hey, why not?
Legend and Prodigy are amazing books, I can't put them down and I think it's headed to unhealthy obsession status and I'd love to write books like yours, in fact everything you've done with writing and animation is exactly what I want to do when I get older....So thanks for writing and drawing and animating and inspiring soooo many kids to want todo exactly what you're doing right now
(ugh, im so dorky xc)
