I’m alive, I swear, just busy like a bee because real life is chasing after me.

Yesterday I was at my friend Teena’s party and I saw old friends and people from school that I hadn’t seen since October and a couple friends stayed the night at my place last night. One is actually staying the night again because she practically lives here, TAMMY.<3

So that’s basically what I’ve been up to since I got back from vacation, seeing friends and such and now finishing up my classes (serious this time too because I’m SO close). I’m not dead, though, I promise. Hehe. See, even doodled a bit while on vacation:

Anyways, on to message bulk and other things:

2011-06-07 01:55do you open art trade?because i wanna art trade with you

After I finish my request list, I’ll open up requests again and I’ll make a post about it (and message you guys) to notify those who want requests.

Back to the topic of using my art. I really hate to beat a dead horse, and that would be the topic of art theft. The majority of my page views I have now are still from Indonesian and Malays, mainly coming from blogger and view the art theft list back from…oh lawd…March? Yeah, this one. Anyways, considering most of the people asking to use my art are those Malaysian and Indonesian bloggers, you think after viewing that list they’d figure out the answer to their question but I suppose not.

A lot of the questions end up in my chatbox on my page, well I checked my page today and see

Mai: hyee , can i take some doodles from you ? it is cute !:)

And lately I’ve been a little more nice on the question and letting people do so as long as they credit and don’t remove watermarks and obviously no selling it. So I was going to the page to reply and say fine and all the jazz and then I see this on her page:

And I just kind of twitched and my friends are all “Hey, that’s your art.” And I’m like “Yeahh…”

Ask me, that’s fine and all, BUT don’t ask and take. Meaning that just because you ask it’s fine for you to take it whether I give you an answer or not. That defeats the purpose of asking and it’s rude.

Also, as always, the irony of this is that one of the doodles is a doodle against art theft:

Anyways, finishing this up, if you ask and I give you permission, fine; but PLEASE don’t ask, assume, and take. Also please respect my wishes when I say you must credit me, you may not remove my name/watermark, and absolutely no making money off my creations. But really, though, I provide tutorials for people to learn to make doodles themselves so you can make something and be proud of it. Also banners…pasting a ton of doodles all together looks really shitty and tacky, just saying; but if you want a banner I can make banners for you, it’s not a problem. Just ask, sure I take a while to get things done, but meh.

So I will be changing that on the FAQ but if it gets out of hand I will have to say no again.
