First, off, I'd like to say thank you to the thousands of people who have emailed me over the years...I love getting feedback on the site. I read them as fast as I can, but with such a full schedule I can't always answer immediately. So if you send an e-mail, don't think I'm ignoring you if you don't get a response right away. I do, however, get a lot of repeat e-mails about certain things, so to speed the process up a little bit I present to you....

THE E-MAIL FAQ OF FAQ-NESS
Please read before e-mailing!
Q: I know it says no requests, but can you make me a ___ fetus?"
A: No, no I can't. I get about ten or so of these a week. The sad truth is that I am completely and utterly out of FTP space. I cannot add even ONE more fetus. Thank you all for your offers of hosting space, but I need all the pics to be located in the same place at a reliable long-term source. Someday I'll upgrade but that won't happen for a while. So essentially...what you see is what you get.
Q: Hey, you should animate the fetuses/make them grow into something."
A: I'd love to do this, but it goes back to not having space... Say I do 3 frames for an animation, or 3 different stages of growth per fetus. That's three times the space it takes up and 3 times the bandwith being used up. Not a good idea.
Q: BLARGTHEIMAGESWON'TSHOWUPBLARG
A: I haven't quite figured this one out yet, but I'm aware of the images occasionally not showing up. I'm pretty sure it goes back to the space thing. If some of the images are down, just check back later.
Q: Are you pro life? Are you a Christian? etc.
A: I'm not answering these sort of questions, ever. They aren't pertinent to the site. Stop asking.
Q: The plural of fetus is feti, not fetuses. Jerk.
A: I know that. Fetuses sounds cuter. And that's Jerk-ette to you.
Q: Can I make my own fetus and put it on the web?
A: My work is copyrighted. When using my design as a base, email me first to ask permission. Also, if you are posting your design on the web, you need to add a link back to Fetusmart as the original source. It is NOT ok to change my design or claim it is your own or to sell it.

So hey, check this out. I've done several illustrations for Volume One and Two, and the Cover Art for Volume Three, of a swords and sorcery semi-graphic novel called Aerekel. For more information on that project, see Aerekel on Myspace or visit the website.
