To Outside Clipart Designers

This text is meant for designers creating and selling clip art outside of The Ink Nest. If you visited this website and you have decided to derive inspiration from our work please read the text below:

Please Read
Even though our work is clip art, these drawings are our intellectual property. Designing extremely similar work and selling it is violation of our copy right. The Ink Nest or our legal representative will contact you in the event that you create work that we believe might be copied from ours. This contact will serve the purpose of making you aware of our intellectual property rights and creating a record of such copying should you continue to disregard our intellectual property rights.

Please do not copy our license agreement text. This has been written customly for us. Taking it directly and using it is yet again violation of our copy right.

A guideline how to “copy” our work:
- take the idea and transform it into something different. Add to it, change it. Look at more than one inspiration resource
- use completely different colors
- use different illustrative style than the one used in the original work
- write an original title – please do not copy our titles and description, this is the easiest way for us to find about it.
Congratulations! You have designed a unique set of your own.
