RATES:

All the artists on this site are independent free-lance artists.  A across-the-board per-download fee will be negotiated at the time a password is issued.  Payments are made directly to the individual artist who did the drawing.

In addition, NewsArt charges a flat rate or per-download Access Fee based on 10% of the amount of business you do on the site.  The Access Fee is negotiated at the time a password is issued.

NEWSPAPERS: NewsArt artists typically sell their artwork for whatever is the newspaper's standard per-use rate for spec-drawings, and most artists are amenable to flat-rate monthly contracts with newspapers.  The per-use fee is agreed upon at the time of registration, as well as the NewsArt service fee.

Rates vary widely, but here are some typical artists' per-use rates

SCREEN IMAGES ARE OFFERED AT NO CHARGE TO...individual church groups, in-school student organizations, office and kitchen bulletin boards, sharing among friends, home-made greeting cards, or just for fun. You may save and print out any of the screen images for free.

However, if you want a high-resolution drawing for personal use, you will need to email the individual artist, and you may have to pay a small fee. Get email addresses by clicking on "Contact Artists" on the websites' front pages.
