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.

Happy 4th of July

I hope you all had a good holiday this weekend, for those of you in the US of A. For those of you outside the US, I hope you all had a good weekend in general. For me, this holiday holds somewhat of a different meaning. It marks the second year since my father passed away. I almost can't believe it's been so long. I still think about things I wish I could tell him from time to time. He was always a very important figure in my life, and provided a lot of encouragement for me when it came to my artwork, and life in general. I paid a visit to his grave over the holiday - it was nice to spend some time reflecting on the past, sometimes it's too easy to forget. In any case, just thought I'd put more of my personal thoughts into these posts. Thanks for reading.

Wait, it's Wednesday?!

Arg, I got so caught up in my finals projects for animation, I forgot what day it was and didn't think to draw up the next comic until it was too late. I drew up this sketch in about ten minutes and stuck it on the website to tide you guys over until I can work on it in earnest. I'm sorry about the unprofessional nature of the update. I try my best not to let things like this happen. Once my classes are over I'll ink and color this one. I hope the sketch will be enough to satisfy you until then.

New Store and FAQ Section

I've made a couple of new additions for the website. If you haven't noticed yet, I've added a new store section to the website, which offers mostly print materials for sale, including a booklet and posters of all my work. Check it out if you'd like. I have also been working on coming up with an FAQ section for the website. I can't tell you how many times I've had to answer the same questions over and over about the comic or the website, and I've been meaning to do it for a long time. I still haven't decided where I'll have it posted up, but in the mean time, you can find it here: New FAQ section!
