Premium service

This a premium service with original, creator-owned content available only from this website. As a full-time professional freelance artist, cartoons represent time, effort, creative endevour and intellectual property. Retaining copyright and charging for use enables not only maintenance of the existing catalogue, but also supports new work and time spent responding to enquiries.

Choosing cartoons

Take a look through the catalogue, copy the titles of each one required and email them to us. The full-sized jpeg files will be sent to you by email or FTP. If you don't see the exact cartoon you want, please feel free to ask or suggest other topics you would like, with no obligation. New cartoons are being added to catalogue. Many sketches and concepts are stored off-line.

Pricing

There is a minimum fee for any professional use. 'Professional ' includes non-profit, educational, governmental, non-governmental sectors. Price is based on your intended use, number of cartoons required, size of audience and distribution.

Prices for existing cartoons chosen from the gallery pages start at US$50 per cartoon ( or equivalent in other currencies ) for a one-time presentation with a small audience or similar.

New cartoon commissions are charged at a higher rate than use of existing cartoons.

Use with intranets, staff training, public-facing social media or poster campaigns for longer periods of time, regional or world-wide distribution requires a more detailed and customised pricing, similar to that calculated by other online image banks. To get an idea of prices charged by photo and art services such as by Getty Images, try their price calculator here.

Send details of your intended use to the email address below and we will get back to you with a price that is very competitive. There are discounts for larger orders.

Payment

We will send you an electronic tax invoice with our company details. No sales tax applies for cartoon sales outside New Zealand.

Payment is generally on a per cartoon basis. You may pay to our Paypal account. Paypal will accept transfers or your credit card with a minimum of cost to us or you. Also you may pay with Visa or Mastercard.

Electronic bank to bank transfers and cheques are also supported, although these may incur small processing fees. If there are likely to be lengthy finance department requirements for us to set up as a supplier, then we reserve the right to charge a small fee. 

Cartoons as you go system

Arrange to pay a lump sum payment in advance for a set number cartoons. Then select from our catalogue as you need them. They will be emailed to you usually within a day.

Academic use

If your usage is for review in an unpublished academic study, such as a thesis, and you can use existing files from the internet, then there is no charge. If you need me to send higher resolution files or there is likely to be commercial publication, then there will be a fee as with publishing.

Publishing

Fees for publishers and authors are based on standard industry scales of fees. Contact for details.

Free Use

Unfortunately, we are unable to offer free use of cartoons or respond to such requests, due to the time involved and the need to protect relationships with existing customers.
