World-building by visual artists

Regarding commissioned art, what are the rules for getting OA art made from an "outsider"? What goes into notification of copyright, intellectual property ownership, etc.?

Also, if you want to use professional- quality work, like that comission by alex ries, or anything by nemo ramjet, remember that contrary to this 'we'll give you exposure' and "free art/images everywhere!" culture that the internet created, they're usually worth a good bit of money. Alex ries said (US)$50 for that xeno monkey image to use on the OA site. Actual comissions by good artists are technically worth $150 minimum-$700 to bring into the world. OA hasn't had a policy of buying artwork though, in the past.


Joshua Knuppe's illustrations and reconstructions are excellent!!
