Terms Of Use For Quarterly Illustrator.

  Jpgs. of drawings and sketches are made by our gallery's staff. These are scanned and photographed and cleaned up in photoshop. Sometimes the drawings need even more attention and must be "redrawn" by the staff employees.

  The jpgs. are the freeware property of the Pick and Print Gallery. If you download our clipart we presume that you have taken the time and care to read these terms.

  The graphics/jpgs. are for private, non-profit use only. They are not to redistributed by any other means of collection both on the internet or off, without getting prior consent from the staff. If you have questions about the work, you may write the gallery at pickandprintgallery@yahoo.com 

List of Bad Uses:
  • Burning the work to a CD and giving it away as a free incentive.
  • Stealing the jpgs. and misrepresenting "who" they belong to, or "who" originally produced them.
  • Republishing the work for profit.
  • Republishing the work without asking. (Sometimes we give permissions to republish the jpgs. to teachers.)
List of Good Uses: 
  • Using the images in personal blog articles, not clipart collections,  and giving our blog a link in return.
  • Crafts that you produce to give as gifts but not to resale for a profit.
  • Worksheets for schools and non-profit businesses that are informative and educational. These worksheets must not be reproduced for profit. Teachers may make their own worksheets for their own files and classrooms and use this clipart freely. You do not need to contact the staff and to ask about the number of worksheets that you can print. We are not picky about this. Please give credit to the blog address on the worksheets, http://quarterlyillustrator.blogspot.com
  • Teachers that are using the jpgs. to teach computer art techniques are welcome to download these drawings. Just remember to educate your students about copyrights and inform them that these jpgs. are freeware not free. Freeware may be used under certain conditions only.
  • Only educators may burn the images to power points or CD slide presentations only. You may do this no matter "where" you work as a teacher. Please give the blog credit for the use of the material.
  • Teachers may also print out and use jpgs. a sample work for students to draw from.
  • Students, artists, and art lovers may print out or keep in a file records of the clipart as long as they keep in mind that it has been copyrighted.
  • If you alter it significantly. Like paint it, or put it into another artwork, this is just fine. Artists have been doing this for centuries. What we are primarily concerned about are those people who abuse the work in it's original context. Not artists that take it and hand-color it and paint it and collage it etc. But those people who try to profit from it by flipping it and resizing the jpgs. and calling them free. This is not significant alteration. Well those of you who are artists know what we're talking about.
  • Free header clip art for "Minima" blog templates may be used by merchants as well as for those using it for personal blogs and non-for-profit web sites.
