Image Use & Licensing

IMAGE USE * LOGO DESIGN * COMMISSIONS

Inquiries about publishing Beth's artwork on websites, magazines covers, books, cd covers, and other products are welcome. Please ask before using any image. Just email or call Beth and she will respond quickly. Typically web uses such as a blog simply require that the image link to Beth's website and that the title of the image and "©Beth Budesheim www.PaintedJourneys.com" appear immediately with the image.

Licensing comes into play whenever you desire to use one of Beth's images in any way. Licensing artwork means you are granted certain rights to use or reproduce an image. All of an artist's work is copyrighted and therefore permission must be granted for any use, replication, copying..etc. Licensing is an aspect also of any commissions requested that you wish to use/reproduce on other materials such as web, business cards, products..etc.

I truly appreciate interest in licensing my artwork and am happy to discuss the possibilities with you no matter how large or small your project may be! The information below is basic standard licensing practice, much of which can be found in professional artists guild publications (such as the Graphic Artists Guild- Pricing and Ethical Guidelines).

 

The terms and cost of licensing artwork can vary widely and are dependent on:
*the specific rights granted
*how and where the image will be used
*what rights to the image you desire
*the scope & size of your project

 

IMPORTANT FACTS TO REMEMBER:
*Commisioning an image of any kind (ie..for illustrations, logos..etc) does not include ownership of the original piece of artwork or licensing rights, unless specifically stated in the contract.
*Copyright automatically belongs to the artist upon creation of any work
*Licensing use is given for a specific length of time but may be renewed

 

LICENSING DETAILS:

* Free-lance artists , such as myself, earn an important part of their living by the ability to reproduce their work as prints, grettingcards, and licensing for various and multiple uses. Therefore, variations and factors effecting this (ie..you desire more rights to the image..etc) result in higher licensing fees.

*Work for Hire~ I do not do work for hire. Work for hire means that the artist releases ALL rights to their creative work. Under the legal terms for 'work for hire', the artist loses copyright, may not display the piece in her portfolio or reproduce the image in any way. The artist's name is no longer associated with the piece, the client becomes the legal author and may even change the original artwork and use it without limitation or restriction.

*All the details of the licensing agreement will be clearly spelled out, and discussed with you.

 

CURRENT RATES:

I receive many inquiries about using images for business cards or commissioning new images for business use.  As a practitioner of the healing arts myself, I know how difficult it can be to find imagery that resonates and radiates the kind of energy desired. The right image can help communicate the depth and nature of who we are, our work, intentions and thoughts.  Knowing this, I am always so touched and honored when I receive requests to use my images.

I have worked to keep my pricing for image licensing reasonable and within reach. After much soul searching, I have come up with a pricing structure that I feel is both a great deal for you and fair compensation for me:
