I’m a graphic designer/artist just like you. Been one for 30 plus years. I’ve seen this economy at the best of times and the worst… and I’m telling you now, this is the worst I have ever seen.
This is the time to come together. I’m trying something new, or at least; it’s new to me. I have a morgue (collection) of images I use to reference for my design work. Stuff I drew as studies and did not sell. I now sell them to other people, - not artists (they have their own morgues), but publishers and other companies that need images for licensing purposes.
I did something similar like this many years ago when the clip art era was really big, except I sold the images outright. Now, I get no royalties from those images, and I sold a ton of them. Good money at the time… I could kick myself in the butt, now - but I guess hind-site is 20/20.
But this idea I have can actual make everyone money and help us get thru these hard times. If you have images, that you are proud of, license them to others or sell them your self on specialty items, like coffee cups, t-shirts and so on. This is where the money is.
I can show you how and it wont cost you a dime… except your time. I need your help to process, upload (your) images and setup new accounts.
We need to process, upload (your) images and setup new accounts Follow the steps in the lefhand column. This will be done via thirdparty websites. You will retain all copyrights, the more proucts (with different images) you get out on the Internet the more money you will make.
Next I will keep track of everyone’s emails and image morgues (list of URLs) and pitch group efforts to Main Street licensing companies. This way I can show your stuff and you can keep selling until you get a licensing contract for that particular image(s). I will negotiate the terms and try to get the best deal possible. In return I’ll only ask for 7% commission on the sell of the contract. You will retain 100% of all royalties, plus 90% of base contract (this does not include affiliate contracts). Once the contract is accepted I’ll pay you through Revolution Money Inc. (MoneyExchange) the royalties are paid through the company that licenses your image(s). Not all companies’ work this way, so all this is contingent on the licensor (company) and their rules.
Thanks - Mike Trissell
