Last spring, I sold the rights to 3 of my pictures for 5 grand. That was fine with me. I know we have the pride of creation, and all. However, I can create more. Shoot, my computer...which was my first purchase with that 5K got ripped off right before Thanksgiving. Do you know how many almost finished W.I.P.s were lost? Grumble, grumble. If the price is right, I would jump on it. After all, in real life, if I am commissioned to do something for a certain client...well, hey now...I never ever turn around and resell it to someone else, as well. Think of it...Folks with similar businesses may want similar graphics....DOH. But, since they compete with one another, it is very bad form to even think of selling it to say, 3 or 4 different clients. (This is one of the reasons I rash on the vendors so much about the "credit" issues. If you buy a "Poppi", you own it lock, stock, and barrel, except for the name. You don't see the Superbowl commercials used over and over between, say Budweiser, Pepsi, and...Coors. Okay, now I will be quiet, since I can't make that analogy in English too well. Hopefully, someone else will translate that last part for me. Pop...Pop...Poppi!!!
