What is your Usage Policy for images on this site? TOP
Simply stated, Lacy's art on this site cannot be
modified or reproduced in any way. An image may only be removed and
displayed in a personal gallery outside this site if it remains unaltered in any way,
including all credit and url information that is currently present on
the image, and if it is in a non-commercial environment. As well,
please state that the images may not be removed from your site. A
maximum of 20 images may be placed on fan-type sites only.

If I buy an image or item can I use it in my own product or reproduce it? TOP
Sorry, no. All of Lacy's images or items using Lacy's images are sold
in a specific form. Modifying and reselling them in another form is not
legal. The term for this is "derivative works right" or "modification
right". Only the artist has the right to modify the creation. This
no-modification also applies to the purchase of an original work; the
artist still retains full ownership over reproduction, etc. An item may
legally be resold if in its original, non-modified form. This law
protects the artist's ability to present his/her art as they intend,
commercially or non-commercially.
Just a few real-life
examples: Prints cannot be used as decopouge;
prints can't be re-purposed as illustrations for a kids book; stickers
can't be used to create your own line of custom Lacy Clagg coffee mugs,
etc, etc, etc (thanks to ebay such examples could go on for pages). The
above examples are against modification right and are not legal to
produce, and especially, sell. The calendar can be only resold as a
calendar, prints as prints and stickers as stickers. Each item as they
were originally intended. There are exceptions to this rule. Fabric Blocks and Decals MAY be used to create derivative works for personal usage. If you would like to use for commercial derivative works please email Lacy with a desgin plan and example and permission may be granted :)
Can I use one of your artworks for my business or product? TOP
Lacy is always happy to hear proposals for product licensing, so please contact Lacy
directly to discuss licensing options and terms. Lacy reserves the
right to accept or decline any licensing proposal at her discretion,
and chooses only to license her art to quality manufacturers and
products. She also has signed exclusive rights for a number of products
and images making them unavailable, so be sure to contact before going
ahead with any planning.
What if I See Misuse of Lacy's Art? TOP
If you see the misuse of Lacy's art anywhere (illegal commercial usage,
usage against the usage policy, etc.) feel free to let us know via the
contact form. If you wish to help us out feel free to
let them know they are in violation of Lacy's usage policy, or even
worse, most likely breaking the law (it's tough for us to keep up with
all the reports we get). We've found that most people in violation
aren't doing so maliciously, they're just not aware of the law / policy.
