Free Siggies, Tags and Tubes - Images and pictures you can use to make them

A “Siggy”, “Sig”, Sig Tag” or SigTag” is an image used as a signature in forums and on emails. Closely related are “Tubes” (a tube is the removal of the background, while still leaving the main subject of the artwork intact).  There is an entire culture based around the creation and use of siggies, tags and tubes. 

Countless people exercise their creativity creating miniature works of art (or maybe I should say modifying the art of others) while creating and maintaining communities of like-minded people.  I first became aware of siggies, tags and tubes when I began to be approached by a series of people, mostly “moderators”, of groups devoted to creating and helping others learn to create these uniquely internet art forms. 

Siggies, Tags and Tubes seem to be closely related to Incredimail and to a lot of people using Paint Shop Pro.  Apparently a lot of PSP Tutorials are aimed at making these e-mail stationery and forum signatures.

Quite often the creators of these diminutive art pieces begin with work from another artist and then add their own twist.  Sometimes the art will be stripped out from its background (a tube) or even animated.  There is increasing scrutiny on such groups for the abuse of copyright.  Siggy forums and groups are responding by requesting permission from artists before using their artwork.   They usually ask the artist to grant permission in the form of an email and supply a set of Artists Terms and Conditions.

Those of you interested in using my work for signature tags and or tubes can do so for free as long as you:

• Include my copyright notice (©johnlund.com)
   

• Only use the work for non-commercial projects
   

• Provide a link to my site.
