Flattery
So I was googling hex sign pictures and designs because I am getting ready work on my next hex sign design.. (to get my head in the right place) While doing so, I came across a Camilla Spadafino from Nashville, TN that paints hex signs. Upon visiting her website, what do I see?

While I do not mind if people reproduce their own versions of my hex signs, it is in good form to say what artist inspired you if the artist is still living.
Jacob Zook hex signs are the most common designs reproduced today. He commercially sold his designs during his life (1940's 1960's), and mass produced them with silk screens. His Dutch Hex Signs were made to sell to the summertime tourists that took road trips through Central PA. He was hired by the PA tourist industry to help market and package hex sign designs to make money for the largely rural state. Highly commercialized, and obviously very different from my hex sign designs.
My images are all individually designed and hand painted, entirely one of a kind. I am alive and have not released my designs to the public in any way. Other people have used my images and designs, but they have always noted and linked back. I do allow private use of my images, with prior consent. You are free to continue to use my designs if you extend this common courtesy to me. As a fellow artist I am sure you understand. Thank-You for your co-operation.
