As I have stated on previous occasions, I paid quite a lot of money to have these images taken, with the original intent that they would be used for my modeling portfolio. Due to the legal complications of having shared copyrights with the photographer the rules to my stock have always been strict. Unfortunately many people have felt it their right to ignore the rules entirely and there has been a rash of designs either being offered for prints without permission and minimal alteration or images are used outside of the dA community for web pages and cd layouts and such. As this behavior causes serious legal ramifications for me I've been forced to remove all of my stock gallery (with the exception of the most popular set that has actually seen very little in the way of abuse.)

What this means:
If you have a work that you are currently making with my stock. Please double check the rules before you submit. Works featuring my old stock will still be allowed and please continue to give credit and inform me with each subsequent use.

I do intend to continue as a stock provider here at dA, hence hiatus instead of full closure. Until I can purchase a camera to take photos of myself however things will remain pretty quiet around here. I attempted to set up a paypal to take donations for a new camera but to be honest i couldn't quite figure it out. Advice is welcome.

In the meantime just keep on keeping on and follow the rules. Also keep your eyes peeled for rule breakers outside of the community for me and let me know if you spot anything out there in your web-travels so i can asses the damages and deal with the offenders properly.

In the meantime keep in touch or just stop by to say hello at my main account that's where you'll find me.

Thanks for your time

--EDIT--

buy my face print...
...or rather, buy the print I've made available of my font face.

After a handful of print requests and the host of s it has accumulated (thanks again to all of you for your support) I figure, why not?

since the cvsw-stock account is no longer a paid account i can't post a thumb in this journal however you can stop by *carynvstheworld to see it or go directly to it here-> [link] <-in my print shop.
