Auto-Updating Cartoons for Websites
EZG
Toons can bring a touch of humor to any website.
Another
way to use EZG Toons is through auto-updating cartoons.
By copying a simple html code into your site, you can display a
cartoon that updates to a new cartoon periodically. Providing your readers with fresh cartoons throughout the
year is
another way to keep them coming back to your site.
Please
see Linking to EZG for more details about auto-updating cartoons.

- You
must get permission prior to using cartoons.
Email me at erin@ezgtoons.com.
- The Auto-updating
cartoons automatically provide a link from the cartoon back to my site.
Please do not alter this code.
Note:
If you are not interested at this time in displaying the cartoons on
your website, but are willing to simply provide a text or graphic link
from your site back to this one, the URL is http://www.ezgtoons.com.
I am happy to link back to your site as well.

Customizing EZG Toons
EZG
Toons are designed to be as effective as possible in their current form.
However, you may wish to make changes to the cartoon to make it
more suitable to your specific need.
This should never be attempted without permission.
Submit your ideas via e-mail to erin@ezgtoons.com
and I will let you know what I can do for you.
Prices for Slanting
The
most common special need is the slanting or altering of an existing
cartoon to be more relevant to your particular need.
All slanting should ultimately retain the integrity of the
original work or produce a new equally functional and God-glorifying
idea.
These changes can range from the very simple to the very complex.
Prices for changes to cartoons, like all special projects, are
quoted on a case-by-case basis.
So please e-mail me with your ideas and I will respond with a
quote if possible.
I reserve the right to turn down slants for any reason.
Prices for
Coloring
Most of the time EZG Toons are to be printed
in black & white. However,
the style of many of the cartoons does lend itself to computerized
coloring. A few of the
cartoons are displayed on my site in color to give you some idea what a
cartoon might look like in color. At
this time, I am quoting prices for coloring cartoons on a case-by-case
basis because the difficulty of coloring varies from cartoon to cartoon.
If you wish to have a cartoon colored, contact me at erin@ezgtoons.com
with your needs and will do my best to help you.
Resizing
You may have a need that involves the resizing of
a cartoon to be larger or smaller than normal.
Web
copies
of cartoons are sized to load quickly on a website and take up only a
small amount of area, but also big enough that they can still be easily
viewed. However, if you
need to alter the size, let me know and I will work with you.
Print copies
of cartoons are high resolution and should look good at a variety of
sizes including small poster sizes and, therefore, should suit most
needs. You may have a need
that requires an even better copy to be displayed much bigger or you may
need the cartoon changed to make it work at a very small size.
Admittedly these needs are the most rare, but I will work with
you, if these needs exist. Pricing
follows the amount of work involved in changing the cartoon.
I love to draw and would love to
team with you on your special project to advance the cause of Jesus
Christ. I am willing to help any way I can, but I cannot do
everything, as my time is limited.
If you have an illustration need that has not been addressed in
this page and you believe that my style of cartooning suits this need,
please let me know! I will
adjust my schedule as best I can for the right projects.
Thanks for your consideration.
