Pricing

Asking how much a piece of artwork is, as one cartoonist put it, "like asking how long a string is.  It depends on the string." This means - it depends on your usage of the work you contract for.

Artwork adds VALUE to your product, service, business, etc.  Therefore, you are paying for the LICENSING to use the artwork you are commissioning.

“Cartoons look as though they are easy to create because they are relatively simple in style, but in fact creating cartoons is a highly demanding specialization that usually requires a long apprenticeship.” – Graphic Artists Guild

The Options

Licensing. Contact me to discuss your project and usage.  Depending on how you want to use your illustration, the price will vary according to usage (value added.)  You can learn more by visiting the Graphic Artist's Guild website - all pricing is according to the Graphic Artist Guild's Handbook on Pricing and Ethics Guidelines

Work for Hire.  (Unlimited use, you own it, lock-stock-barrel and can use it for whatever you want.) The right to display the work in my portfolio is maintained. (online displays have watermarks to prevent copying.) Plan to pay a minimum of 10x the cost of a limited use piece of artwork.

Direct Purchase of Existing Artwork.  Choose from a wide variety of original artwork created by me, and posted on this website for immediate purchase.  Purchase through PayPal and your artwork is delivered within 24 hours in digital format.

Stippling Prints and Limited Editions.  Signed by the artist purchased directly and shipped to you.


 

Solution Graphics

EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) / Check by phone payments also accepted

Bartering.  Why not? You may just have what I'm looking for, furniture, autos, services ... hmmm .....

Negotiation.  Every once in a great while a business opportunity will present itself that is a win/win situation for both parties.  If you can show me your business and marketing plan and present a convincing opportunity, we may have a deal.
