Usage & Licensing

All my artwork is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution–NonCommercial–NoDerivatives 4.0 International License (CC BY‑NC‑ND 4.0). This means you can share my work with credit, but you cannot modify it or use it commercially.

Yes. You are welcome to share my artwork on social media, blogs, or educational platforms as long as you credit me and do not modify the image. 

Yes. You may use them in non‑commercial educational contexts, such as classroom slides, lectures, posters, or student projects. Please include a credit such as: “Artwork by Sania Ristic, CC BY‑NC‑ND 4.0.”

No. The NoDerivatives (ND) part of the license means the artwork must remain exactly as it is. If you need a modified version, please contact me — I can grant permission or create a custom version.

Not without permission. The NonCommercial (NC) part of the license means you cannot use the artwork in:

• commercial publications
• paid courses
• products or merchandise
• company websites
• advertising
• monetized content

If you need commercial rights, please contact me to discuss licensing.

Just contact me directly. Tell me:

• which illustration you want to use
• how you plan to use it
• whether you need modifications
• whether the use is commercial or part of a publication

I’ll reply with the appropriate licensing options.

Yes. Commercial licensing and custom edits are standard professional services for illustrators. Fees depend on the type of use (e.g., academic, corporate, publishing) and the complexity of any requested changes.

Yes. You can purchase them through my shop. Buying a print or digital file does not grant commercial or modification rights — those require a separate license.
