[QUOTE="Mistah_Richard, post: 354651, member: 7304"] Maybe. Certainly in some circles, retention of IP may seem key, but to be honest, it usually doesn't work that way. As an artist I undertand that I may be doing work based on copyrighted text and others ideas. As an art director, I hand fed my artists, supplying them with EXACTLY what I/the company wanted. That is, often times what an artist does. Fullfills the vision of someone else. I want A, B, and C. If the artist can't do it, they do not get paid/hired. On the flip side of the coin what can you do in weak market? As an artist, I understand my worth. I do not have a fan base like Elmore nor do I have the skills of Adi Granov. I pump out simple quality images out and if I WANTED to use this as a form of living I could. For me it is simply additional income. If I am spoon fed EXACTLY what a company wants, the image really isn't mine. Sure I did the work, but then there was little on the creative end, which ultimately is what you should own as an artist. Understand also that my original background is advertisement design and package design. I worked for a company that made images for other companies. I have never felt a need to own t he IP of my work unless I create it for me and my use. Just my two cents... [/QUOTE]
