I've been talking with ZVT who I'm sure you're all familiar with after seeing his killer renderings recently, and we were wanting to get some conversation going on with the other artists hanging out here. I know that he has a lot of questions as someone interested in making some cash with his art - me as someone who has been but struggles with some of the finer points and then others who have probably been doing this for years successfully. Rather than saying, HEY, what's the magic answer to the question that has no perfect answer, maybe we could open a conversation where we could get into what people are doing and how different situations have worked for them ...??

I know personally, I've been dealing with how willing I am to turn over all rights to a drawing and also, what you guys are providing your client as a finial rendering (prints? and of what quality or cost to you ... files? and what types etc). I know what I would LIKE to give them, but then rights always come up and I'm not great with writing contracts (books have helped). Each situation I've come across has been so unique and never REALLY what I envision as a Hot Rod artist. I dunno, I'm just throwing this out hoping to get people talking and maybe to get us better acquainted with one another. Quite obviously there are guys here (ZVT) who represent the start who have MAD skills and are serious about what they're doing and would like to get to know people with some very useful insight. Well the same goes for me, having exactly no source of advice for what I do since I started it - basically making it up as I go and having no clue that I'm making major mistakes. I'll let ZVT get in on this for his questions and whatever but I'd be very interested to hear what others are giving to clients as the finial piece of art.
