A NOTE ON SHARING MY ARTWORK & ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

You may share my works and images to your liking without permission so long as there is no financial or commercial motivation in any way, shape or form. If you share my art, please always ensure giving due credit in the following form: Artwork by Pauline Lendrich/Tabycoe. Please also add a link to my website if there is enough space.
At this moment, I am against the use of any part of my creations on this website or elsewhere in any way, shape or form for the training, improving and general use of Artificial Intelligence programs/software as long as AI data mining is done unethically and without compensation for me or any other participating artist.

Please refrain from using my works if it is not possible to credit them in a clearly legible, directly visible and proper way, and please do not sell or claim any of my artworks as your own.

If you would like to use my artwork for commercial or financial purposes, please get in touch with me.

Please be kindly reminded that art exists solely because artists work part- or full-time on creating it. This especially extends to the existence of AI-generated images, as these would not be possible without the creativity, time, effort, money and work put it in by human artists. By utilizing someone’s artwork without credit, permission or compensation – especially for financial gain – you are engaging in highly unethical behavior by contributing to an environment that encourages the uncompensated and unconsented use of works in the digital sphere (in other words: theft). This prevents artists from making a living from their craft without fault of their own. Allowing for artists to be fairly compensated and recognized goes hand in hand with the preservation of ever-growing creativity in this world – regardless of (maybe even especially because of)artificially generated art.

Please also note that in many countries, copyright is strictly regulated by law, and that multiple lawsuits have been brought against AI software companies. Read more about that on my blog.

If you have any questions about using my art, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me and we’ll work something out.

Thank You!
