Permission

Greetings to all. I am new to the site and I love the creativity expressed here. I have read the copyright information and understand the uses permitted of the artwork here. Is it permitted to ask the artist if their artwork could be used for a webpage background with full credit given. I wanted to ask an artist for permission but I did not want to do so if that would be considered improper. I respect the artist claim to their artwork and the rules given and would not want to use any artwork illegaly. Thank you to anyone kind enough to respond.

Respectfully,
Triad3

You would have to ask the artist for permission to use it as a webpage background. No, it isn't improper in any way to ask permission from the artist - be sure to explain what the image is going to be used for and maybe also the URL of the page. It isn't illegal if you have their permission. Most artists will give you permission happily as long as they're asked first.

if i can add my two cents...perhaps an acknowledgement of the artist would be in order as well

Thank you very much for clarifying this for me. I was unclear as to if the policy allowed for that. I greatly appreciate your help. It is good to know that we are allowed to ask.

most artist would give approval as long as you ask them, tell them what the site is, what it will be used for, full credit to artist and a link to their gallery.. is what people will ask
