About The Stick Guy
The Stick Guy site contains humorous content, pictures and words, created by Mark Ewbie.
That's me.
I like occasionally writing and frequently drawing. The Stick Guy site and various Print on Demand outlets is where it ends up.
All the content here is my own.
There may be ideas from the rest of the world, I don't live in a bubble, but it is largely my take on stuff.

About Mark Ewbie
I write a bit and draw a bit.
I started creating online content as a hobby several few years ago. Some people liked what I did. So I did more.
Gradually my hobby turned into an occupation.
The object is to create things that people will like. Whether pictures or jokes, the quest is producing original content that has appeal.
It is a mostly fun process. Creating words or pictures is a peaceful activity. It might be Zen if I knew what that meant or could be bothered to Google it.
The buzz from some extra page views or sales of a new design is still there. It keeps me motivated.
And makes me happy.

Bespoke Drawing Requests
I sometimes produce or modify drawings for individuals who want something specific. Perhaps as a present for their relative for Xmas, birthday or some other occasion.
It's all about finding a simple way to produce what is required and minimise my time spent. I don't make much money from individual sales, just a percentage of the product price. So I can't produce a Michelangelo painting in order to make ten cents!

FAQs
What is the point of this site?
It is a place to host my writing and graphics without having to follow the demands and rules imposed by commercial writing sites or social networks.
How does this site make money?
Through product sales and the usual irritating advertising.
Who are you?
An amateur graphic designer and lazy writer.
My dog could draw better pictures.
That's not really a question. It is more of a statement and probably untrue unless he's a doodle dog.
Note. The questions above are examples of what people might ask. I made them up.

Permission to Use My Pictures
If you want to legally use pictures from this site you need to ask permission.
Use this Contact link to send any messages.
I occasionally give full and free permission if you plan to use the pictures for non-commercial uses. Especially where you are helping people with challenges, problems or community projects.
We can all give a bit to each other, it makes the world go round. But please ask first. Thanks.
It may take me a day or so to answer, I am not connected 24/7.
That is a lie. I am connected 24 / 7 / 365. I barely sleep. But sometimes I am busy, distracted, lazy or not feeling chatty. So it may take me some hours to respond.

Commercial Use of These Pictures
For commercial uses I prefer money to thanks. It is possible that an offer of payment for non-exclusive rights may be accepted but I have to be careful about potential impact on my own use of those images.
I am sensitive about internet usage and commercial areas because my pictures attract search visitors and generate product sales. They have a financial value and I will act to protect that.
Sorry if that sounds a bit terse. No point in trying to put sugar on top.

Tech Stuff
This website is hosted and built on the Weebly platform. It costs a few dollars per month for the service and consists mainly of loading text and pictures under different pages. There is some simple navigation and not much else.
There are no social media links or on page comments. They slow page load times and add complication. My preference is for a fast running minimal site.
If you want to share a page the links can be copied and pasted.
If you want to tell me something there is a Contact page.
I am not interested in tech for the sake of it. Weebly allows me to run a small site. That's good enough for my purposes.

About Time
That is the end of my About page. It is not so easy to write one without going into details I don't want to share or you don't want to read.
