Origami. Coffee. Food.

My name is Akira. I'm an origami artist (modular type/kusudama) and my origami blog can be found here. Other than that I enjoy eating food and drinking coffee.

Signal boost for any of my followers who need art programs!

The cs2 programs date back only a few years, and still have much of the functionality of today’s more modern ones. The differences between most of the versions are little more than slight modifications or additions of minor features, and UI changes. Go for it guys!!

Also, in case the page is down, here are the download links + serials.

Aggressive Retsuko episode 39

Retsuko is never not relatable.

[toyourliking]

I saw this post on my dash (with commentary, dw) and there was one thing that I didn’t see addressed in the comment chain that I really feel needs to be

Once an artist creates a work, they own the copyright

None of this “I paid for the art. It is mine.” bullshit, unless the artist actually sells you the copyright (something which has to be stated and never assumed, and something you would have to pay extra for) you can not claim ownership over the piece, even if you paid for it.

And yes, this means you can not alter the work in any way, you can not use it for banners/advertisements/etc., you can not print it, you can not sell copies unless agreed upon with the artist

and artists are also protected under moral rights

meaning that the artist has the right of attribution (the right to be identified and named as the creator of their work), the right against false attribution, and the right of integrity. (Source)

so fuck off with your “I paid for the art. It is mine.” crap, it doesn’t stick legally

[ingthing]

I actually attended an extremely useful talk at my (design) school held by a professor who’s also a copyright lawyer, and there are a couple more things you should know.

TO EXPAND ON THIS:

Copyright actually is control over the following:

Reproduction 

Distribution 

Derivative Work 

Performance 

Public Display

You do not have to give/sell the entire copyright to your work. 

You can, for example, license someone to publicly display the work. That would permit them to exclusively use the content with limitations. You can also non-exclusively license others to use your content, which would be a broader “You can do X with my work” statement.

Transfer of copyright ownership has to be in writing. 

This does not mean “I asked you to draw X for me and I paid for it so I claim ownership of everything this image is and all rights to it.” It means “the artist explicitly wrote that they’re transferring copyright ownership to me.”

And in case you were wondering when, exactly, copyright attaches, copyright attaches the moment the expression of the idea is fixed in a tangible form. That means I could draw a fast scribble on a piece of paper and I’d own copyrights to it. This also applies to digital mediums.

Of course, it’s best to register copyrights through (if you’re in the US) the US Copyright Office, but copyright applies even without registration.

EXCEPTIONS…

…to copyright laws include employer-employee relationships and “work for hire” agreements, but only when signed before the work is created. 

BEFORE you do any work for a client, definitely create a contract in which you claim that “[You] reserve the right to reproduce the work for promotional and online portfolio purposes” if you want to be able to use the work as promotion for yourself. Here’s a wikihow on how to create a freelance contract.

Copyright laws are in place to protect creators.

Don’t fall for tricks!

Y’know I reblogged this a bit ago and was saved from financial probation and getting kicked out of school because of it, just mere months from graduation. Got a call from the financial aid advisor telling me that they made a mistake with filing my account (or some other sort of clerical error) and said that, basically, they owe me money. Welp.

[winjennster]

Last time I reblogged the money cat, I won two $100 gift cards at work.
