I'm Ciléin Kearns, a doctor and medical illustrator drawing from a background in video games to open up medicine.
New content is fuelled by coffee memberships to the Scrub Club on Patreon. If you enjoy my art, please consider supporting with caffeine!
My ability to keep making art is dependent on people being able to find the creator (Dr Ciléin Kearns) and source (Artibiotics). Sharing content without permission is copyright infringement. Sharing without attribution hurts creators, and is very unprofessional in the medical field. Ideally, share links to the original content rather than re-uploading. Otherwise it depends on the use:
If you are sharing to a personal account, which is not associated with any for-profit activity, then I am okay with sharing of limited content if credited as follows:
At the start of the description credit with “Medical Illustration by Dr Ciléin Kearns (Artibiotics)”, and provide a link to my website or account on that platform. You must not edit the image in any way (do not filter, crop, add or remove text, etc).
If you wish to share on a business account, promote/advertise services, or have any for-profit activity associated with the account, then you must get in touch for permission / licensing.
If you wish to use in teaching resources and the students have to pay to attend (e.g. University, online courses) then this is a business use and the art must be licensed.
You can help by calling it out, tagging my account, and commenting with the credit: “Medical Illustration by Dr Ciléin Kearns (Artibiotics)”. Thanks for the support!
