+ Do I own the illustration that you create for me?

There are various options for licensing the artwork we create for you. Please see the Pricing and Usage Guidelines page for licensing details and pricing.

+ You're just drawing my idea or product - why can't I use it however I want?

Unfortunately ideas cannot be copyrighted and, per copyright law, an artist retains all copyright to any work they created. For example, purchasing a song for your music library does not give you the right to make copies of the song- that copyright remains with the owner of the creative work. Medical illustrators have gone through extensive training and experience to be able to accurately develop works of art to tell a story or represent a product.
