Popeye Wong general permission

Hello everybody:
How much I wanted to send this letter a long time ago, but well,
I guess better late than never, he. Finally, after almost a year, I'm
sending an update letter. A lot of things have happened during this
past months, but I won't mention all of them here, otherwise this
letter will look more like a speech. There's something that I do want
to mention, indeed: my artwork is not free to use anymore, effective
immediately. The bad news are that you'll have to delete old tags
displaying my artwork; the good news are that the tubes of my artwork
will be very affordable. And I have something else to say: April
fools!, ok, ok, is not April 1st anymore, in fact, is already the
16th, but hey, I meant to send this letter on April 1st anyway, so
give me a break!, he.
Ok, if you want to read about updates of my li fe, just go to
http://www.popeyewong.com/eng/updates.htm, you'll find a long text in
there, and a couple of photos (including one of me drooling over
Taylor Wane). Something that I have to mention in here, is the fact
that I'm finally back in United States (in Las Vegas area, to be
exact). In fact, I've been back for almost a year, but I hadn't
announced it officially until now. Just wanted to keep a low profile
meanwhile I re-organized my life in here. I want to thank you all of
you that showed your support to my wife and me, it meant a lot to us.
As many of you know, last year was a very rough one, with a
frustrating immigration process of two years (plus, add the fact that
I didn't help much). But here we are, and things have been falling
into place, finally. Again, to all of you who have supported u s, a big
big thank you. Among other news, I just went to visit my hometown (the
first time since I got my green card). I even visited my
great-grandmother, who just turned 100 years old, how about that? Way
to go, great-grandma!
Speaking of birthdays, last year was a special one for me. Not
only was I back at home and reunited with my wife and family, but I
also crossed the big 3-0 line. Yep, I turned 30 years old last
November, now I can say that I'm officially a man..., mmmh, that
didn't sound right. Thanks to the persons who e-mailed me, it was a
pretty special birthday.
Now, let's go down to what you all like the most: images, right?
Well, I have very good news then: 10 new images (all toons) are
already uploaded in my Eroticartoons gallery. Oh, wait, did I write
10?, I meant to write 100. Yes, I'm not kidding: one hundred new
toons, so you can go crazy doing tags. What's even more, tubes for
each one of those images, plus tubes of a lot of my older images are
already available at the website, making that a total of over 200
tubes. To download the tubes, just click on the image itself (or you
can also go to tubes.popeyewong.com). Now there isn't any excuse to
avoid practicing your tagging skills (ok, there are excuses, but you
have one less excuse now). If you check all the new images, you'll see
different styles and tendences. I tried to keep it varied at some
point, and wanted to experiment new looks. A lot of them are
commissioned work (you may already have seen a few of them), some
others are gifts, and the big rest are personal projects. Some of them
are very innocent, some are flirty, and some even nude and with some
hint of se xual content, so be warned if that's not your cup of tea. I
included a couple of b&w pieces, and even tossed in a few male toons,
not my specialty, but I know the ladies want to see some of that too.
Don't forget to visit my update page if you're interested in
commissioning me. This project of the hundred toons had been in my
head for a while, but it took me a long time to finish it, due to many
many reasons. As a funny fact, I have to mention that it took me
almost a year to gather one hundred images, but I did a over 50 images
just last month. Nope, that doesn't mean that I'll be doing 50 images
every month, you can trust me when I say that it took a lot of energy
from me (I should have given one toon for each year to my
great-grandma, she'd have a blast).
What else is new? I'm offering prints, finally. Yes, you can buy
prints of my work. Ri ght now I'm offering only prints of the digital
artwork, but I'll be expanding the options pretty soon, so I can
include my older pieces. I'm selling prints in two sizes (8.5"x11" and
11"x17"), but just visit http://www.popeyewong.com/eng/prints.htm to
read more about it. You'll see a button to buy a print, next to the
image, that, of course, if it is available.
Speaking of images, there is another important notice: the change of
the copyright on the line of images known as "Kattitudes". The images
that Kat and I created as a collaboration a while ago are now under my
property, and also uploaded in my website, therefore, they are under
the same terms of use as any of my other images. I've received many
letters asking me about this matter, which let me see that there's a
lot of confusion. The main thing I want to poin t out is that NOBODY
needs to delete any tags. The copyright note changed, is not Kattitude
anymore, but I don't want anybody deleting tags because of this (I
never do). I give my permission to keep using the old tags with the
old copyright note. Same as happened with the old tags with Jaimi
Standifird copyright note (Jaimi and I keep working together and we
haven't had any problems with the copyrights at all). I understand
that this is confusing, so feel free to ask me any question related to
the change on the copyright notes of the images known as Kattitudes
(at popswong@popeyewong.com).
Staying on the topic of the lines, I want to mention that I created a
mini-line of five images as a gift for my friend Jo (Fragile), and is
included in the new images. I've been retired of making lines for a
while, but I promised o ne for her a long time ago. Now I'm happy that
her wait is over, and she's quick to share her happiness too (same as
any other image in my website, the "Fragile" line is free to use by
anybody). Click on "A fragile lesson"
(http://www.popeyewong.com/eng/toons/alesson.htm) to start the trip
through the new hundred images.
As a celebration for the introduction of the hundred images (a
very dear project to me), I have a special offer for taggers that want
to buy prints: buy one small print (8.5"x11") at a regular price and
get unlimited autographed small prints at $7.00 each, shipping
included to any country (all small prints must be placed at the same
transaction). Or buy one large print (11"x17") and get unlimited
autographed large prints at $11.00 each, shipping also included to any
cou ntry (again, all large prints must be placed at the same
transaction, in order to get this offer). Note: if you're interested
in this offer, contact me at popswong@popeyewong.com, with your choice
of prints, since you won't be able to place your order from the
website. By the way, this offer doesn't have an expiration date.
The managers of groups also get an additional offer: get a free
small print for every 5 persons you refer to me (or a free large print
for every ten persons, your choice). The referrals don't need to be
done at the same time, so feel free to refer even one person, that
I'll keep track of it. Since this offer is not available through the
website, remind your member to purchase the print through e-mail
(popswong@popeyewong.com), and also to mention your < BR>name/nickname/group in their e-mail. These offers will run
indefinitely too, so there won't be any pressure at all.
I want to mention that the sale of prints is a great help to me,
mainly economically, but I don't want anybody to feel like they
shouldn't use my images because they can't afford or don't want to buy
prints. I'm always happy and proud to see my artwork being used in
your creations. This is my gift to the taggers, no matter who they
are, so please enjoy it.
Stepping a bit outside the theme of prints, I have a little secret
to share: my wife is around, member of a couple of groups. I know that
she'll kill me for this, but why not to announce it? Have you ever
seen "Sweets4u08"? Well, that's my lovely wife. I mention this
because, if you want to send me a tag, it would be great if you can
place her name on it ("Sweets" or Anit a Maria). Be it for my wife or
not, just go crazy doing tags, that's the best gift you could give me.
And if you feel inspired, don't forget to visit the re-opened "Tag
showcase" (http://www.popeyewong.com/eng/exhibition.htm), now going
monthly.
I want to thank each one of you that have supported my career in any
way, I really appreciate it. I'll try to follow your advice and browse
through places like www.myspace.com and www.deviantart.com (I've had
accounts in there for a long time, but I need to start using them). I
don't see a forum or group dedicated to my artwork in my plans, but
thanks for suggesting it. Please accept my sincere apologies for
taking so long to update this. My website is not totally fixed yet,
but a lot of the broken links are gone. And also, please forgive me if
I haven't responded to your mail, I'm really really sorry. I will
respond eventually, that's for sure (I'll be going through my mailbox
in the next few weeks).
Well, time to go. Thanks for reading all this, and I just want to
ask one more favor: please post this letter in your groups (if you're
not sure if you can do it in your group, just ask a manager). Feel
free to edit out parts of this letter that don't apply to your group,
this letter is extremely long. Do as you like, but again, please post
this letter or parts of this letter in as many places as you can, to
spread the word. Any person can join my list, just send a mail to
popswong@popeyewong.com with "update" included in the subject. Thank
you very much for your attention... what are you still doin g here? go
tag! Until next time (this time will be less than a year, he). Bye for
now!

Popeye Wong.
