Emila Yusof’s Terms of use

June 23, 2010 /

As an illustrator, I put a copyright statement at my sidebar and also the terms of use under the Terms page on the navigation menu, in which I wrote:

Today, a little bird told me that someone has breached the ‘You cannot‘ term #2. I am not being rude but I need to highlight this matter as doing illustrations is my BREAD AND BUTTER and people pay me for what I am doing. Using it for the purpose that I mentioned under the ‘You cannot‘ is not allowed. But of course the the financial issue is less important than the integrity of the work, the attribution and that kind of stuff.

Please, I am begging you to read my blog thoroughly, pages to pages, before using my illustrations. Peek also at my sidebar for the copyright terms. And if you click on the creative commons’ link you’ll get this:
