INTRODUCTION

Following are the guidelines for using cartoon artwork created by Len Jones. This includes the single panel cartoon ALTAR EGO.

Cartoons are a great way to bring humor to any publication. Whether in print or in digital form, (i.e. Internet, Intranet, electronically distributed documents), cartoons bring people back again and again to publications of all types and sizes.

If you are a NONPROFIT organization, the use of cartoon artwork by Len Jones is free as long as the guidelines outlined below are followed. If you are a 'FOR-PROFIT' organization, there is a related cost to utilize any cartoon artwork by Len Jones. Custom cartoons or illustrations are also available upon request. (See GUIDELINES FOR USE IN A 'FOR PROFIT' ORGANIZATION section below for details on For-profit usage).

  • Do not have more than 5 cartoons by Len Jones in your publication at any one time.
  • The text or artwork may not be altered in any way.
  • Include the following near the cartoon: Copyright© by Len Jones. All rights reserved. http://webs.Lanset.com/akajones/

Once a permission request is received for print quality cartoon usage, a link to the print quality download site will be emailed to the requester. A black-and-white print quality version of each cartoon will be available from the download site. Please use these special files created for print use rather than trying to use cartoon images displayed on the web. At only 72dpi, the web versions do not contain enough detail to print well. The print version of each cartoon is a 300 dpi black-and-white TIF file which is supported by most, if not all production print software and word processors.

You can obtain images for print in the following ways:

  1. From the print quality download site, do the following:
    1. Move your cursor over the 'Download image' link below the thumbnail image of the cartoon that you want to use.
    2. Specific to type of computer:
    • PC: right-click on the 'Download image' link. A menu box will appear. Click on 'Save target as' and save image wherever you store your images on your computer. Before you save; If the file extension of the file name reads '.tiff', remove one of the 'f's so the file extension reads '.tif'.
    • MAC: Click and hold down your mouse button on the 'Download image' link. A menu box will appear. Click on 'Download link to disk' and save image wherever you store your images on your computer. For OS X users - Press the 'Download image' link to open an image window. Press Ctrl and click on the image. Hit save image as...
    • Once you save the image onto your computer you can use it as needed.
  2. Via Email: Email Len at akajones@lanset.com and indicate which cartoons you want to use. Len will return your request with the chosen image(s).(See INFO TO INCLUDE IN EMAIL REQUEST section below for what information to include in request.)
  3. High Quality Copies Via US Mail: Email Len at akajones@lanset.com and indicate which cartoons you want to use and that you want to receive them via US Postal service. Len will return your email request with a US postal address. Send a SASE to the address along with what images you want to use. Len will return up to five 8.5" X 11" high quality copies of chosen images. (See INFO TO INCLUDE IN EMAIL REQUEST section below for what information to include in request.)

NOTE: The black-and-white print quality cartoon files are not to be used on web sites as they will cause your site pages to load very slow.
