Rates and Rights Information
In addition to the cartoon samples showcased on this
website, I have an archive of other single panel gag cartoons and similar
material which are available for use. Cartoon reprints and custom illustrations
are available for newsletters, advertising, web sites, corporations,
Powerpoint presentations and other media.
The cartoons shown here are available for rights purchase
and are copyrighted material. They may not be used in any way without
prior written permission. Unauthorized use of this material is in violation
of United States and International copyright laws.
I charge very reasonable rates for the use of these cartoons,
images and illustrations. Those rates are based on a number of variables:
-
Exclusive Rights: This means you purchase rights
to the cartoon forever and may use it as many times as you desire.
It will become yours. Obviously, rates for an exclusive rights agreement
are significantly more than single or limited use rights.
-
First Use Rights: This means you will be given
the exclusive opportunity to run the cartoon before it is offered
to anyone else. Rates for first use are typically more than re-use
or re-print rights.
-
Limited Use Rights: Limited use rights are
available for a specific number of prints in a given publication,
presentation or other visual medium.
-
Single Use Rights: This is a specific license
to run the cartoon or image a single time in a single publication,
presentation or other visual medium.
-
Other variables: Other factors include the
intracacy and detail of the work, whether color or black & white,
and circulation or audience size. This is particularly applicable
to custom work. I will also illustrate gag writers' work on a case
by case basis, but am not looking for permanent collaboration.
If you would like to use any of these images or request a custom illustration
or cartoon, please contact me about your needs. You will find that rates
are extremely affordable and reasonable based on the current market for
professional cartoonists and illustrators.
