As a person who has followed and lived the Tao all of my life, I realize that all things are impermanent. As a result, all of the personal artwork attributed to duckdaotsu or lisbeth west is given to you freely as a gift of beauty. Note that many of the news and media photos items are licensed and attributed to the agencies that have originally published them, and as such we refer you to the above FAIR USE NOTICE.
However, If you would like to download and reuse my personal artwork — I ask only that you do not alter it or change the cropping or color balance of the artwork or photographs. Many of my photographs are published on the Taoist meditation pages and were given a copyright at the time. As I have grown and matured in my view of the world and the art that I have been graced with creating, I no longer hold that copyright. All items (previously shown as ©lisbethwest or ©duckdaotsu are NOW (June 2011) licensed by the following creative commons licensed. Thank you for your support and sharing of our work. We are here to brighten the world with art and to share the media truths that have been hidden throughout our time.
