Community Groups
Non profit community groups are welcome to INKCINCT cartoons free of charge in their newsletters, flyers, posters and  websites.

My definition of a non profit community group is one that
  • Receives limited or no funding from governments or councils.
  • Is usually only staffed by volunteers
  • Charges little or nothing for it's services
Examples of non-profit community groups are local service clubs such as Apex and Lions clubs, local environmental groups, garden clubs, sporting clubs, church groups etc...


independent non profit organisations
Independent non profit organisations can publish low resolution versions of INKCINCT cartoons on their websites free of charge providing they have a link to the INKCINCT website directly below any cartoon they use and they notify me via email when they first start using them.

Fees apply at a discounted rate for the publishing of high resolution versions of the cartoons in print. 

This free use of cartoons on websites does not apply to Independent non profit organisations whose sole purpose is to act as a news outlet. 

For more details see the use of cartoons by Independent Non Profit Organisations Copyright webpage


There is a large grey area as to what constitutes a community group, non profit organisation and commercial organisation. If you are unsure of your organisation's status in regards to using INKCINCT cartoons then please email a description of your organisation and circumstances for clarification.

Use of INKCINCT cartoons by all individuals and groups must also comply with all other copyright requirements listed on this website
