++Frequently Asked
Questions++ |
|
I hope to answer some of the most common
questions i receive here, so please check first and see if the info
you want can be found here, you wouldn't believe how much email i get per
day, and it helps keep me sane ! ( -ish !) |
| Can I use / modify your images into sig tags, psp groups, myspace graphics/websets etc? |
|
Only if you buy a license and follow the
terms of use here:
www.artisticmindsinc.com. It's illegal to tube any of my images yourself, or share them freely
around the internet - please dont do it! |
| So can I tell people about you in my blog? Can I not add pictures? |
|
You are welcome (and thank you!) for telling your blog
viewers about me, if it's for a blog entry, please use my watermarked
images for this, but please no more than two or three pictures and dont forget to
include a link so they can find me ! |
| Where can I buy prints? |
|
You can buy prints either directly from
myself ( I sell them at
gorjuss.etsy.com !)
or there is a list of other stores ( even online stores) that stock my prints
on the 'where to buy things' page - the button can be found to the right
of this page ! |
| I've seen a painting in your gallery - but cant find a print - can you help? |
|
Yes, I might be able to - send me an
email, and include it's title ( if known) and a short description of it -
I'll check up and see if there are any prints of it still available (
please note some older prints have now been discontinued !) |
| I really want to own an original painting, what's available ? |
|
If you are
interested in what is available, just drop me an email and I'll send
you an up to date list of what is available. Feel free to check
with the Galleries in the Stockists page, or in the Exhbiition page too! |
| Do you make personal appearances? Can I meet you ? |
| I make occasional appearances, all of which are
listed in the 'Exhibitions' page.. upcoming exhibitions / appearances
are listed in bold test, at the top of the list.. I try and have a few
exhibitions every year, but if you want to have more of a chance
of meeting me, why not reccomend me to a gallery owner near you?! |
| How Does A Commission Work ? |
| Send an email to commissions@gorjuss.co.uk with your
ideas/needs, and someone will get back to you asap - the more info you
can provide, the quicker you can get a quote for the commission, quotes
are free! |
| Do you answer all your emails youself? |
|
No, I answer
as many as I can, when I have time, but my husband Grant handles a lot
of my emails and books commissions etc for me, he's a valuable part of
the gorjuss 'team' and also deals with a lot of the day-to-day running
of the gorjuss etsy shop - this leaves me more time to paint etc ! |
| Do you have a MySpace? Can I add you as a friend? |
|
Yes I have a MySpace account- you can find
it here:
www.myspace.com/suzannewoolcott
- You are welcome to add me as a friend - but I'm not very active
over there, I do drop in about once a month to approve friends and answer
any comments tho ! The most active community I am in is DeviantART - where
you can find me at
www.gorjuss.deviantart.com
if you add me to your friends list there, then you will receive
updates of my newest paintings and my latest news too. |
| Can I Interview You For my Blog/website etc? |
|
Yes I love interviews, but please keep
your questions very specific, I'm not very good with words, and sometimes
I just don't know what to say. so just keep your questions clear and
concise ! |
| Can I come and visit you to interview you in person? |
|
No. I don't do personal or phone
interviews, I need to be able to read the questions over and over and
think of my answers.. as I said above - I'm not good with words ! |
| I found someone using your work illegally, do you care? |
|
Of course I do, all illegal use ( or suspected illegal use
!) should be reported to: copyrightdepartment@gmail.com All reports are confidential ! |
| What software do you use for your paintings? |
|
Mainly I use Photoshop to
paint with.. and I
use a Wacom tablet and pen. |
| What do you use for your traditional paintings? |
|
Acrylics on canvas mainly, but I like to
work with water soluble inks and pens too ( on Bristol board )- all my
sketches are done in pen, I never sketch in pencil ! |
| Can I use your art for a tattoo? |
|
Yes, and I don't charge for this either -
if you like it THAT much -you can use it as a tattoo free of charge ! |
| When will you release a new pack of images at Artistic Minds Inc? |
|
You never have to wait long for a new pack
- I paint every day, and as such, produce a whole lotta art ! You can see
the new paintings being added to the digital gallery a few times every
week, so keep an eye on it ( and my blog for updates!)! |
| Will you come and take part in our group chat? |
|
Not in chat rooms, I'm not a great
'chatty' person and feel uncomfortable in chatrooms, feel free to email me
and/or do a informal written interview instead tho! |
| Will You Join Our MSN group and let us show you our tags? |
|
I just don't have time !!.. lots of groups want me to join
and get to know me better, but I'm afraid it really doesn't help as I
rarely chat, so I may join but I'd likely end up lurking and not saying
anything ! LOL! |
| Why don't you write a book?! |
| I'm not a writer... |
| Will you illustrate my book for me? |
|
Not unless: |
| Can you add a link to me in you LINKS page? |
|
I try to only link to artist friends or
artists I admire greatly, my links page, I think is quite an interesting
place, where people who like my art, will probably find other artists that
interest them too ! If you really think I will love your art then send me
your website address, and I'll have a look :) |
| Can you draw faces? |
|
Yes.. when I Illustrate to someone else's needs, I can produce art that has faces.. but I choose to have faceless characters in my own art ! |
| Ummm... so WHY no faces? |
|
That's for you to work out !.. there's a lot of repetitive symbolism in the paintings, like the stripey scarves etc too... it would spoil the fun to write about it |
| I've drawn a fan-art - can i show it to you/is that okay? |
|
yes, i love fan art, but if it's a copy of
one of my paintings PLEASE mention me in the description, it's only polite
! Don't copy ALL of my paintings, and don't claim them as your own !
Send me a link to it, and i'll gladly comment etc.. if it's on DeviantART,
then a link and special mention will be placed on my shout board with my
other DevianART fan pics too ! |
| I'm having trouble downloading/installing your Brushes, can you help? |
|
No, that's what Google is for ! All brushes are working and
tested thoroughly ! |
| Can I offer your brushes to my visitors at my website? |
|
No, they are free, so send them a link to MY website to
download them... it's all I ask ! :) |
| I've seen your brushes somewhere else tho! |
|
Occasionally different Photoshop magazines use them ( with
permission) on their front cover CD's, you may have seen them there! |
|
The End-ish |
