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 Comics and Plugging Yosh!
Yosh!

Just a little note about the bonus comics: I am amassing a large amount of extra pages that I can then update in quick succession on a regular scedule. It's taken me a while - I was not expecting to have nearly so many that would need to be caught up on! Please stand by until next week, when I can begin updating faster.

On a seperate note, Our good friends over at Yosh! are in a bit of a bind after some medical bills put him behind on expenses recently. If you were considering donating to me, consider him instead. He needs it much more than I do at the moment, and I'm sure it would mean a lot to him. Thank you. :)

New Comics Coming

New comics are coming out. I'm doing my best to catch up to orders, so expect new pages to appear more frequently, outside of my regular Wednesday schedule. I can't say exactly when they'll be, so just keep an eye out. I'm aiming for two or three pages each week, so hopefully I'll pay back all the backlog of bonus comics within the next two months or so. Enjoy the extra deluge of pages.

Happy Birthday to Me!

I hope everyone is having a fine July 28th. Today happens to be the day I was born on, 23 years ago. Jeez, twenty-three... I mean, when you're 21 you're still considered pretty young, and 22 is nothing special, but once a person reaches 23+... well, I don't relish the idea of being considered an 'adult' by anyone. I certainly don't feel like it, but it seems like I keep getting older despite myself. Hard to believe I was just a wee lad of 16 when I wrote the first pages of this comic. Now here we are seven years later. I never imagined it.

In any case, much of my day will probably involve a lot of celebratory carryings-ons. As a result, the comic may be a little late. But don't think that I am slacking just because it's my birthday. I'm still working on the next pages. In fact, my brother bought me Starcraft II as an early birthday gift, and I've been resisting the urge to play it all day. I hope you realize what a sacrifice I, as a Korean, am making for you. ;)
