Tammy DeYoung on Etsy.

Please
note : some artists are repackaging some - NOT ALL - former pccrafter
sets and selling on these new sites (to them) or are only producing new
sets. Before purchasing a set - if it looks familiar, check your own
pcccrafter collections first. Some artists will create some new pieces
that coordinate with their old pccrafter sets, that may make it worth it
to you to purchase the newer/repackaged set, just to get the additional
art.
The majority of former pccrafter artists have chosen to get out of the downloadable clipart side of the business,
due to issues of Digital Piracy, Illegal file sharing, and disregard ofT erms of Use. It is important to note that any/all clipart downloaded
to your computers from pccrafter & installed - still retain all terms of use
agreements and the artists still retain their copyright to them. Your
purchases will always have to adhere to the usage agreements and
copyrights - regardless of whether pccrafter is in business or if the
artist no longer sells downloadable clipart.
There are a lot of
pirated images that can be found online by former pccrafter artists and
it is something they are fighting everyday.. For some it makes their
wanting to provide us "clipart junkies", their artwork, very difficult. The
select few that I mention above that have decided to continue to offer
their art via downloadable sets should not only be supported in their
efforts, but we should all respect and honor their copyrights and terms
of use.

Oh how I miss the chats and the PIF!
ReplyDeleteI lost most of my pc crafter files. :-(
ReplyDeleteI am trying to repurchase some of the sets, but I don't know the artist for a few. Does anyone recall the pc crafter set that had very round snowmen with the words Believe? any ideas? It was offered in one of the last years of pccrafter.
i believe the set you are referring to was created by debbie mumm. if not her i know she did some close to what you are describing. I do have a stupid question though.. err I was a member of pc crafter back in like 2003, when creating sig tags and that sort of thing was popular, I assumed it was just a website created by someone to sell graphics, how on earth did cricut and provo craft get involved in all of this?? I do still have some debbie mumm files that I will be glad to share/ send to you.. email me at kat d 038 @ gmail. com < without the spaces of course.. I cant stand what provocraft has done to the crafting community as a whole, however I honestly only thought they did cricut, didn't know they were involved with anything else
DeleteI am just reading this comment today 6/29/14 - looking through my pccrafter collections, I found a "sorta round" Santa, holding a sign in his hand saying "Believe" in Shelly Comiskey's creatable "Celebrate All Year". If you don't own that set - you are out of luck, as Shelly, NO LONGER sells her art in downloadable form online. She still creates art to be licensed on real life products.
DeleteIs there an email address that I could use to send a pic to you? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI purchased hundreds of dollars of clip art from pc crafters. One of my fav was Laurie Furnell. My computer crashed and I lost all my clip art. When I went back to the site to re download I couldn't find the page. Have I just lost everything? I use Laurie Honey Bunnies tons...please help what can I do?
ReplyDeleteI have hundreds of dollars of the clip art images as well, I also have the browser (Deluxe) I feel that it is awful that they felt that it was ok to close down and leave us with NO support whatsoever!
ReplyDeleteCarolyn, many former pccrafter customers feel as you do. But there were lots of signs that the business was in decline in the 2-3 yrs before it closed completely. The majority of their artists were no longer submitting new art. When pccrafter could not sustain the release of 2 new creatables a week, and 2 new HugClub releases every month - they decided to go to a Club only route with providing the 2 new creatables and an added one by artist Laurie Furnell - which resulted in just 36 new creatables released in the year 2010, and were sold to the public. Any "Club Members" in 2010, they also got the regular club content. But there were no "Promotional" gifts or Christmas gift for club members during 2010. pccrafter made a weak try at recruiting new artists for 2011, but were unsuccessful. They always paid their artists very little for their work. So I think that the majority, decided to opt out of creating new art to sell in downloadable form. There is so much digital piracy and disregard of terms of use, that it isn't worth the hassle of chasing those who steal or don't follow the artists or companies TOU's and copyrights. The few former pccrafter artists that I mention in this blog post - should be supported by those who appreciate their work. And most companies that go out of business, have no obligation to support past customers for their past purchases. But owners of the clip art that they purchased from pccrafter, must always still adhere to the terms of use of the clipart and the individual artists copyright.
DeleteI have to comment something that happened today. I found one of the PC Crafter former artists on Etsy.com today and sent her a message because I had two of her kits that I purchased when the site was still in business and I am unable to run the .exe files on them because of the upgraded Windows version on this computer. I want you all to know that she sent me links to the two kits to download! Some people are just very nice! Just wanted you all to know that!
ReplyDeleteHi Karen, Yes the artists still selling their clip art online - Laurie Furnell and Tammy DeYoung are very friendly and will try to help as much as they can when and if they can assist you in obtaining their art. Happy Crafting.
DeleteJust an FYI, I am able to install from the exe files that I downloaded from pccrafter on my windows 8.1 computer, I just have to run as administrator and OK that everything installed OK (luckily I have all my pccrafter sets already installed - when I want to move my collections to a new Computer - I copy the entire PC HugWare folder to an external drive (where all of my pccrafter collections install to by default) and then place that entire folder on my new computer, in the My Pictures folder, and then next install the exe file of the Deluxe HugWare browser (which I also copied and saved to an external drive) After activating the Browser (with the codes needed - I have them posted on this blog) I use the option > Scan for Collections and the browser scans my computer and finds all the files in that PC HugWare folder and then after the scan I close the browser, open it again and waaaa-laaaa all of my collections are there to view.
I also placed short cuts on my desktop to the separate folders of my collections, the Black, Color, Painted and Tiff subfolders. And I also have chosen those same folders as Favorites in the free Image Viewer - http://faststone.org . So even if I can't utilize the Deluxe Browser, I am always able to view and use the graphics that I have from pccrafter on my computer.
HI There... I have a problem.. I have to app files. One says hugbug deluxe and the other is pchugbug deluxe. I am confused.. They both say version 1 and appear to be the same. Can you shed some light as to why I would have 2 different files?
ReplyDeleteHi, the payfor Hugbug Deluxe browser file is named: pchugbugbrowserdeluxer780.exe and the free version of the Hugbug Browser is named : pchugbugbrowserdeluxelite.exe The payfor browser is the one with additional features, such as the ability of getting the white out of images - when you hold down your "Shift" key and Drag and Drop a graphic from the Browser into a graphics editing program that is compatible with that feature. And there a couple other different things you can do with the payfor browser. The "lite" version is just the basic image viewer.
ReplyDeleteWill the browser work on Windows 10?
ReplyDeletewow wow .can not believe this , iwas a full member of pc crafter buying lots ,i saved my hugbug delux version ,but forgot my password ,i have so many beautiful items that i can not open up .some of the wonderful designers mentioned on here.anybody tell me how i can acsess my digis?pleas pleas i will be forever grateful ,lost button babies ,just one to mention .so very much money spent . istill have all the files on my pc .hugs Heather
ReplyDeleteI am looking for shyness who has any Susan Seals or any pccrafter clip art that they want to sell. I will buy anything I can get my hands on. Email me at Jaann39@gmail.com
ReplyDeletei need the code to use my hugbug browser I feel cheated by this company. Artists work was being pirated and stolen and a lawyer friend of mine and myself were hunting them down and giving the info to Randy who subsequently didn't want me kknow that he was going to do NOTHING In regard to the theft. Its a shame that the origianl man who started PC Crafter left cause he was the fair one!!! I feel cheated by this company. I need a code to use my brush lettering exe and also the paid for browser
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI have so much clipart from the pccrafter days. I cannot find any TOU and so have not used any of it for my tpt products. Do you happen to know where I can find TOU? Thank you.

Hi LibMary,
ReplyDeleteI remember you from back in PC Hugware/DAISIE Company/Aimee Asher days. You helped me with removing backgrounds (white out.) I purchased Microsoft Digital Image and still use it with Windows 10. I miss those days--they helped get me through some really rough times. The artwork was outstanding and I loved so many of the artists/designers work: Sandi Gore Evans, Sandy Osborn, Gina Jane Johnson, Laurie Furnell & her sister (forgot her name), and so many more! Glad to see you still have this webpage up for the information and the wonderful trip down memory lane:)
