Before contacting me there are several FAQ’s that you might find the answer to below:
Can I Use Your Image?
The short answer is maybe. You can use it on a personal blog provided you follow these guidelines:
- You cannot alter the image in any way. That means you can’t remove the titling copyright or contact information.
- You must include attribution that links back to http://beartoons.com or the specific post from which the image was originally listed. Please DO NOT hotlink to the image on my site.
- Contact me with a link to where the image is on your site.
- For commercial sites, use in school/university materials, or non personal blogs, contact me and describe your usage and we can discuss rights.
I am offended by your comic.
Not a question but I’ll answer it anyway. I try not to focus on the absurdity of people’s actions versus the absurdity of the person themselves. But there are those who thrust themselves into the public spotlight exclaiming “look at me!!” and I do. Sometimes it isn’t flattering what I see. All of what I do is satire.
My satire can come in three forms. Showcasing a belief of mine, showcasing a belief that isn’t mine but needs to be brought to light for discussion, showcasing a perspective that I may or may not believe in but again may need discussion.
What I find amazing is that my biggest critics for certain cartoons are my biggest supporters for others. Which probably stems from…
Who the hell are you anyway?
I am a guy who lives in Cincinnati who likes to draw as hobby separate from my daily grind at work.. Most editorial/political cartoonists stand on one side of the political spectrum or the other. The are always lobbing shots at the other side. I am a moderate (more socially on the left and more fiscally on the right) who can see the absurdity of the divide and of both sides of the aisle. This gives me more to work with and therefore, likely to offend and amuse the same person depending on the cartoon.
