Twokinds Licensing

I get quite a few people from time to time who come up to me to report that one of my images has been 'stolen' by someone else. Usually it's a edited page from the comic, or a recolored image from my gallery here. I just want to set the record straight, so hopefully I can avoid more of these 'reports' in the future.

My public work is hereby covered under a Creative Commons license, unless otherwise stated. You can find it here:

Creative Commons

So, what does this mean? It means, anyone is free to:

  • Share my work - You can save my work, print it out, and show it to other people. You may post it on forums, imageboards, and chatrooms. You could even zip up the entirety of my comic and distribute it as a torrent if you so felt inclined.
  • Adapt my work - This means people are free to modify my work. You may translate the comic pages into another language, recolor something from my gallery, create fan art or fiction of my characters or world, create your own comic or artwork based on my work, etc...

You are allowed to do any of this, so long as you:

  • Provide attribution - You must give me credit as the source. Do not claim my work as your own.
  • Non-commercial - You cannot sell my work, or include my work in anything for sale, unless you make specific arrangements with me.
  • Share-Alike - If you do modify my work, it should also be covered under this same license, or an equivalent license.

This license applies to all my publicly available work. It does not apply to my commercial work, such as comic books and booklets.

So why am I doing this? Because it's how I think it should be. I put out my work publicly for people to enjoy, and I don't get hung up when folks decide to add to or adapt my work in other ways. So this is my official way of proclaiming that I'm cool with that. I am not giving up all the rights to my work, but I am opening up some of it to you.

Bonus Page!

Here's the bonus page I promised! It's slightly late, but still over the weekend, so I'm happy. I had a lot of fun with this one - mostly because I was streaming its creation live via ustream. I may do that again, so if you missed out, I'll try to make an announcement the next time I do something like that. In the meantime, enjoy the results of the insanity that is the ustream: Comic Sketch.

Chapter Thirteen!

I hope you like the cover for the next chapter. I know it's not a full comic, but I will also be updating again on Saturday with a new page to make up for it. And look out for more bonus pages in the weeks ahead, now that work with the new website is finished.

A New Website!

As you've probably noticed, the website looks a little different now. Yes, we've gone through a major redesign. And the site is now center-aligned! (blasphemy!) I really hope you like it. We've been working hard to try and make it as welcoming and possible. And for those of you who don't immediately like the change, please try and give it some time to grow on you. As with any move, there's going to be some bugs to fix in the weeks ahead, but hopefully it will all work out. Please email me if you run into any problems. Thank you for your support.
