Comments on: Sample Illustration Agreement / Contract / Terms http://blog.illustrationcastle.com/2007/03/21/sample-illustration-agreement-contract-terms/ - ramblings & advice from illustrator Heather Castles Fri, 12 Mar 2010 06:24:41 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.4 by: heather http://blog.illustrationcastle.com/2007/03/21/sample-illustration-agreement-contract-terms/#comment-684983 Sun, 07 Feb 2010 22:48:20 +0000 http://blog.illustrationcastle.com/2007/03/21/sample-illustration-agreement-contract-terms/#comment-684983 f you're working with illustrators, you would use this same sort of contract and just state that you would own exclusive rights to use the artwork. (It is very unusual for authors/publishers to purchase the original artwork, and doing so costs more.) I can understand your concerns about unforseen problems arising in the future... illustrators have the same worry! Just make sure everything you want is clearly in your contract and you'll be 'right! Also, carefully choosing an illustrator you feel is responsible and reliable (not just talented!) will help you feel more at ease working together on a project, as it can be a wonderful collaborative experience!
