Hello my dear Bubblemates,
today I published my first stock images!
Whoohoo so much fun to do this.
Whenever I found good stock in cyberspace, I was very happy.
Today I decided to add my part, ’cause life is both giving and taking.
Up to now, my stock is only about flowers, nature and landscapes……..but it will grow as time goes by and my idea is to add some textures and backdrafts.
As many of you know from my last journal, I just founded a discussion forum called Anida’s ArtShell.
If you are interested in my stock images, just visit the ArtShell to find the link to my flickr stock albums in this English thread
or as well in this German thread
The stock rules are also mentioned there.
You are welcome in my forum at any time and you are warmly invited to download my stock and have fun while creating wonderfull works from it!
May everyone of you have a blessed and relaxed weekend!

You are so giving! It is a time consuming task to find good stock to work with and research to insure it is not the property of an artist with a copyright. I have stopped using some free sites because I found they were not giving the original artists the credit they deserved for their work. Thank You!
Andrea Ida Rausch:
You’re very welcome, Animi!
Yes, it is hard to surf around trying to find stuff which really is “p.c.”
Moreover it is a lot of work when we always have to credit and link back and and and…….I usually do it, because I am with you, the artists need and deserve the credits!
But for me it will also be okay if the artists who use my stock will not……it is just a gift from me to the artistic world, and as long as nobody claims them to be his own or tries to sell them as his own, it is okay by me!
I have had soo many lovely stock to use and got so much from other artists…….now it is time to give something back!
:-)
Have a nice weekend, Dear!

Wow! Your photography is outstanding and I can see where there would be a nice demand for what you’re generously offering. :-D I’ve never used stock images and that hurt me only once but it hurt badly. I had a very old shot of a good friend who posed nude for me. I used a pretty primitive digital camera and the shots were great “snapshots” but never art. Then I shot a piece of public art, a mural, in Downtown Sacramento and made a flippin spectacular layer over the alabaster skin of the models. It’s an edit I can’t use for anything anywhere anytime because I didn’t get any permission/release to use the painting. Arrgh! I could hunt the artist down and beg but what you’re offering is just as colourful.
Ya rock, Andrea, and I hope your name flowers worldwide thru the people who include your art in theirs!
Andrea Ida Rausch:
Hi Lenny,
first of all……..thank you so so much for your good whishes and poetic words!
They are very appreciated!
Secondly…….I can understand so well about the story you are telling….and don’t shoot anybody down, Pal, LOL, I am absolutely convinced you would regret it!
:-)
Have a wonderful time and if you can use my stock, so have fun with it!
And if you are not too tired after creating, just give me a link to fall in awe about what you did with my flowers, right?
Thanks again
Andrea
