For publishers, labels and editorial teams

Licensing

I license usage rights to existing works and take on commissioned illustration for publishers, labels and editorial teams. The work is watercolour on paper, digitised at high resolution. Print-ready files are supplied.

Areas of application

  • Book covers — fantasy, romantasy, literary fiction
  • Album covers and music artwork
  • Editorial illustration
  • Tarot and oracle cards
  • Stationery and product licences

Usage rights

Fees are based on the scope of the licence: territory, duration, purpose of use and exclusivity. A worldwide, multi-year cover licence is calculated differently from a single interior use.

The creation fee and the usage rights are listed separately. For existing works no creation fee applies. I prepare quotes after a short description of the project.

Files and formats

Every work is painted in watercolour and digitised at 600 dpi. For book covers, bleed, spine and back cover can be supplied as an open file, as can square crops for music releases.
