On April Fool's Day in 2004, I decided to open up a small-but-decent-quality stock account here on DeviantART. It's been a little over three years now, two of which I've barely been present as a stock provider.

It's been a great ride. I've seen some amazing productions, met some great people and been delighted with your collective imaginations. Unfortunately, I'm simply not able to keep up with things on this end anymore, and since copyright theft is getting more and more prevalent with each passing month, the time has come for me to close the doors on Inspirastock. Between the surprising amount of unauthorized commercial prints getting approved here (with my image plastered on it, but no note of permission from me), offsite abuse and my utter lack of time to keep up with various questions, requests and comments, it isn't feasible for me to keep this little niche of mine open anymore.

Thank you for making my time here inspirational, enjoyable and hugely educational. Thank you especially for your support, including the Daily Deviation I never considered attainable.

You're still welcome to note me anytime with questions and/or comments. Be patient, however - I stay pretty busy. I'll actually be returning here in a week or two, more as a fellow designer, elsewhere on DA if all goes well.

Thanks again for the great ride with an amazingly talented community. I'll be seeing you guys again on the other side of the Art Divide.

Blessings,

Inspiratone Creative
