Custom Graphics

Due to time constraints,  I am not able to take orders for any custom work.

Protecting your graphics on your web pages.

I do require anyone who uses my graphics to add the "No Right Click" script to any pages that contain my graphics. Please click here to obtain the free script from Dynamic Drive. This script disables the right click function if a person tries to save anything from your page. If you have upgraded your browser to IE 6.0, you would notice it has an "Image Toolbar" which automatically pops up to enable you to save any image on a webpage despite the "No Right Click" script being installed. You may wish to disable this feature, so that your site's images are not so readily exposed to manipulation. Dynamic Drive has come up with a solution with a simple Meta Tag, click here to read and get the code.

Attention to AOL users

All images purchased from "Bear Essentials Graphics" are in GIF format, however unfortunately, some AOL users might discover that the GIF format changes to other formats such as .ART once they have saved the images. To prevent this, you can read about it at www.Autumnweb.com, click onto "Free Webpage Help", click onto "Please come in" and scroll down the page and click onto the icon next to the title which reads "AOL graphics + Browser Problems". Please make yourself familiar with this as I know it can be very frustrating for AOL users to find their graphics are changed, and think there is something wrong with the graphics I am sending. AOL might also be able to assist you in how you should overcome this problem.
