Share It the Right Way
I love seeing my artwork encourage others, and I absolutely welcome people sharing it the right way. You are welcome to repost my original Instagram or Facebook posts with my username, watermark, caption, and artwork intact so others can discover my work. You are also welcome to share my posts through direct messages, text messages, emails, Facebook shares, or by sending someone a link to my website or social media. Those are wonderful ways to support artists while respecting their rights.
Share It the Wong Way
What is not permitted is downloading my artwork, removing it from its original source, uploading it elsewhere as your own post, altering it, removing my signature, using it to train AI systems, or using it for commercial or personal projects without my written permission. Sharing my content should always direct people back to the original source—not replace it.
Pinterest Is Not a Free-for-All
Do not upload my artwork to Pinterest. Downloading my artwork from Instagram, Facebook, or my website and uploading it to Pinterest without my permission is not authorized. The typical process is simple: someone drags my artwork to their desktop, uploads it to Pinterest despite Pinterest's copyright warnings and reporting tools, and then creates a new copy of my work outside of my control. That upload can spread to thousands of users, making it significantly easier for counterfeit sellers to locate, copy, and profit from my original artwork.
I have spent countless hours removing thousands of unauthorized copies of my artwork from Pinterest. Many counterfeit products begin with unauthorized uploads that circulate across the platform before being copied onto marketplaces around the world. Pinterest's policies require users to respect intellectual property rights and prohibit posting content that infringes another person's copyright.
Pinterest also maintains a DMCA copyright reporting process for rights holders. Uploading copyrighted artwork without permission may violate Pinterest's Terms of Service and may also constitute copyright infringement under United States law.
Copyright Has Real Consequences
Every piece of artwork I create is protected by United States Copyright Law (Title 17 of the United States Code) from the moment it is created. No one has permission to reproduce, distribute, display, upload, modify, or create derivative works from my artwork without my written authorization. If someone removes my signature or copyright information before reposting my work, that may also violate 17 U.S.C. § 1202, which prohibits the intentional removal or alteration of copyright management information in many circumstances.
If you love my artwork, please share it by linking to my original posts or my website—not by downloading and re-uploading it. Unauthorized copying hurts independent artists, fuels counterfeit sellers, and damages years of hard work. I actively monitor unauthorized use of my artwork and regularly submit copyright takedown notices under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). Where appropriate, I reserve the right to pursue all legal remedies available under United States copyright law against those who reproduce, distribute, or commercially exploit my copyrighted work without permission.
