Licensing is a great way
to make some money while retaining some rights to your artwork. There are many
ways to structure a licensing agreement for album art. Which route you decide
to go can have a profound impact so contacting an attorney is recommended. Here
are some options for licensing artwork:
One-time use: allows the
artwork to be used one time only. Any further use of the work would require a
new agreement.
All rights for limited
time: allows the band to use the artwork in any capacity they need, but for a
specific period of time detailed in the contract. Once that period has passed,
all rights revert back to the artist.
All right for a limited
purpose: allows the band to use the artwork only on a specific product (for
example - an album cover). This contract should be very descriptive regarding
the purpose for the artwork. This contract usually enables artists to sell the
artwork to other clients (that aren’t in competition with the band).
All rights for limited
time and purpose: allows the band to use the artwork on a specific product but
for a limited time. During that time, the band may only use the artwork on the
specified product (for example an album cover). Once the agreed upon time has
expired, all rights revert back to the artist.
