Original Clip Art Licensing - Any Thoughts Or Experience?
For my first discussion, I am wondering if any of you have offered original line art, drawings, or other art suitable as clip-art for licensing, and what your experience doing that is.
I have been designing Celtic art since 1996 and producing it as rubber stamps and some images as clip-art. Once in a while I find my art being used on a product for profit I didn't authorize. The frustrating part is that once I notify the person they are using copyright art and need to license it, they simply cease using it and don't want to pay anything to continue using it.
With FAA offering licensing opportunities, I am thinking of putting some of my line art in a clip-art gallery and offering it for licensing. My latest art has been Celtic Mandalas which I am starting to put on FAA, and I am choosing the licensing options to see what happens. I am thinking that if I put some of the line art, that people seem to want to make use of, here for licensing, then I can redirect those I find infringing to a way to pay me.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts,
Kim Victoria
