Copyright and Pricing

Who owns Copyright?

In short, copyright belongs to, and is retained by me (the artist), unless specifically assigned to another person or body, in writing. (Copyright, Designs and Patents Act, 1988) (The drawing itself can be sold, or given away, but generally speaking, copyright is always retained by the artist).

How is a Cartoon priced?

Give me full details of your request including its use and I will assess a price. (Normally, the fee for producing such an illustration is simply based on those two factors). The fee will be based on this information. I will take into account the work involved, and its intended use - the value of a drawing featured in a local Parish Magazine will be different to that of one printed in a national Sunday Newspaper Colour Supplement for example. (Giving permission to individuals or companies to reproduce an illustration is known commonly as granting a licence).

Cost and usage is usually confirmed in writing.

I've used the Cartoon as agreed, but now want to use it again. What should I do?

Simply let me know what extra purpose you want to use the cartoon(s) for - (additional publicity material, reprinting of a booklet, for example). You will be given a price after consideration is given to the intended usage. Very often this is simply a percentage of the initial fee.

When you buy a licence for a cartoon it is, unless specified at the time, for single use only.
