SELLING: What to CHARGE for YOUR ART

From Services to Physical Work!

Years ago, before scanners and the ubiquity of digital art clients assumed ownership of your final art. As if, you were working in their studio they expected to OWN YOUR FINAL ART. It was very strange. Even if you provided excellent scans, Chromoliths, or films you still had to mail in the artwork, at your expense.

They were in the business of owning assets; especially big film studios whose “vaults” are filled with an enormous collection of work from what I’ve heard. I had a friend who did a dozen or so collector plate illustrations and it turned out that since they were Star Trek that whoever owned the license was the final owner. The plate company just handed the artwork over to the studio. Bananas!
