FAQ

Find below some answers to some FAQ aka Frequently Asked Questions. Below are also the general terms and conditions found in a contract of mine.

Please read them through if you’re interested to work with me.

What are your rates?

Check my retainers but if you’re not in the mood to click:

My rate starts at €65 ($70) an hour for comics & illustrations and €35 ($38) an hour for research/virtual assistance.

Prices can vary depending on the kind of project. Taxes and fees are not included.

Help! I lost the files of your work!

No problemo! I save all the files of my clients and will send them to you free of charge!

Do you want to change something to it, tell me and I’ll send you the invoice for the changes that needs to be paid first.

May I use your art for profit?

The work I offer is for promotional and non-profit use only, like using it to advertise yourself or to accompany your report.

If you want to put my work on merchandise to sell, please notify me and we’ll set up a contract where I give you written permission. In exchange, I get a percentage of the profit and I will be in charge if changes are needed.

If you do not notify me and use my work for profit without my consent, it’s a breach of contract, resulting in a fine plus payment of the missing profit percentages.

I'm interested into buying the rights of your work

Contact me and we can talk about the possibilities.

Email is recommended. Send your message with a clear subject to:

Why are you so against NFT/AI?

I’m not against NFT/AI as a whole. At the core, the idea is good, but in its current state, it is WAY too early to use NFT/AI.
It’s mostly Generative AI I am against. 

At the moment, AI is mostly used to steal. Works of many creative professionals are just being stolen to train AI, no permission is given anywhere. Texts, art, photos. Even personal ones.

It shows zero respect for the creative industry and it’s only used to save money in the sense of stealing the jobs of artists and cutting corners where it’s not needed at all.

AI is supposed to be an enrichment to everyone. A tool to save time and money, without anyone losing their jobs. It’s not to replace people. But AI is now being used for that.

May I use your work for NFTs/AI?

Did you not read the above?

Any work between me and the client may NOT be used for any transaction involving cryptocurrency/NFTs or AI/machine learning.
Even if you’re interested in buying rights, there will be a clause in the agreement saying that any use for NFT/AI will NOT be allowed.
