Pricing
Asking
how much a piece of artwork is, as one cartoonist put it, "like
asking how long a string is. It depends on the string." This
means - it depends on your usage of the work you contract for.
Artwork
adds VALUE to your product, service, business, etc. Therefore,
you are paying for the LICENSING to use the artwork you are
commissioning.

“Cartoons look
as though they are easy to create because they are relatively simple
in style, but in fact creating cartoons is a highly demanding
specialization that usually requires a long apprenticeship.” –
