Sharing policy
As a creator, my capacity to continue producing art relies on people recognizing the artist (Dr Daron Mascarenhas) and acknowledging the original source or context (Palette and Scalpel). Unauthorized re-uploading and editing of content violate copyright laws, and sharing without proper credit is harmful and unprofessional, particularly in the medical field. This practice can hinder creators like me from generating more of the art you appreciate. Ideally, share links to the original content instead of re-uploading, downloading or sharing without attribution and always provide proper attribution to the source.
How to share?
Personal use
Please read the license of the image published on this site in the portfolio section. Only some images are permitted for personal use. If you are sharing on a personal social media account not linked to any for-profit activities, you may share limited content with proper credit.
Please start the description/caption with ‘Medical Illustration/artwork by Dr. Daron Mascarenhas’ and include a link to my website or account on that platform. The image must not be edited in any way (no filters, cropping, text alterations, etc.)
Business use
If you intend to share on a business account, promote or advertise services, publish in any format (e.g., research, books, news), edit the content, or engage in any for-profit activity associated with the account/site/platform, you must contact me for permission or licensing.
If you plan to use the artwork in teaching resources, lectures, where students are required to pay to attend (e.g., university courses, online classes), this is considered a business use, and the artwork must be licensed accordingly.
