Cartoon & Character Licensing

Whether you’re looking to publish in print, launch a marketing campaign, or create unique merchandise, I offer flexible licensing options tailored to fit your specific needs.


Below, you’ll find all the essential details to get started.


Types of Licenses Offered:

I offer several licensing options depending on how you plan to use the artwork. Common categories include:


  • Publication – Use of cartoons in books, magazines, newspapers, or digital articles.

  • Film/TV – Licensing for use in video productions, TV shows, streaming content, or films.

  • Merchandising – Use of cartoons or characters on products like T-shirts, mugs, posters, or packaging.

  • Marketing & Advertising – Use in promotional campaigns, online ads, print ads, or social media marketing.


License Rights

Licensing terms vary based on your project’s scope. Here’s a breakdown of common rights categories:


  1. Exclusive Rights – You receive sole rights to use the artwork for a specific purpose. No one else can use or license the same cartoon during the agreed period.

    • Suitable for high-visibility campaigns or branding.

  2. Non-Exclusive Rights – You receive permission to use the artwork, but I retain the right to license the same work to other clients.

    • Ideal for general publication or merchandising.

  3. Limited Rights – The license is restricted to a particular geographic region, medium (e.g., print or web), or duration.

    • Example: A license for one-time use in a regional magazine.


Duration & Renewal

Licenses are typically issued for a set duration (e.g., 6 months, 1 year, or more).


Once the term ends, you may renew the license if continued use is needed. Long-term licenses are also available upon request.


Usage Restrictions

All licenses come with agreed-upon usage restrictions. Clients are not permitted to:


  • Resell or redistribute the licensed work.

  • Use the artwork outside the agreed mediums or campaigns.

  • Alter or modify the artwork without prior approval (unless specified in the license agreement).


Licensing Process

  1. Submit a Request – Reach out with details about your project and intended use of the artwork. Be as specific as possible (e.g., medium, distribution, duration).

  2. Receive a Quote – I’ll review your request and provide a custom quote based on the license type and scope.

  3. Review & Sign Agreement – Once we agree on the terms, you’ll receive a licensing agreement for review and signature.

  4. Payment – A 50% deposit is required upfront, with the remaining balance due upon finalization.

  5. Delivery – Upon receipt of the final payment, I’ll deliver high-resolution files ready for your intended use.
