OOH nice. I ordered some BLIK once then they said it would cost me $100 US to ship them to Australia so I cancelled the order.

Cool. I love Sam's Select anyway, but that looks ace. Must do more vector designs.

wow, byebi looks really nice! i think it's my favorite blik graphic so far, actually.

more people should vote for "it's always midnight somewhere" and "mother knows best". those would be awesome.

How are artists compensated for re-use of their graphics for wall stickers? Are they given a percentage of each sale made?

Threadless needs to hammer out a fair licensing agreement for graphics and design created by users.

Frankly, the current agreement is hugely unfair for artists. In other words, it sucks. For Threadless to claim copyright to all designs instead of a limited-term, limited-use agreement, and then re-use graphics in any form they see fit (I'm assuming without additional compensation) would be completely at odds with all ethical guidelines as set forth by the AIGA, the Society of Illustrators and the basic business practices of large licensing agencies. This is not how it's done in the real world, kids.

Do they also receive a percentage of each graphic sold? This would be standard for licensing.

Sonmi, you've been "pwnd" if you think a flat rate payment is fair payment for use of your work.
sonmi
   sonmi on Apr 08 '08 at 8:43pm
oh snap reverse pwnage

but yes, i think $2500 is fair for a few hours of work which i am not entirely attached to. i'm sorry that you feel otherwise, but don't understand why you're subbing to threadless if you think its licensing policy sucks.

A big BOO to blik.

Well, not blik, actually, but the voters.

The voters are consistently "NIXING" some really great ideas. Oh well, just my opinion.
