ALT outtathinairstudio Do you get royalties for Strawberry Shortcake or Care Bears? I don't and I never did. I signed a WORK for HIRE agreement when I began my job at American Greetings. Back in the 70s. As far as I know no one on staff got royalties. Independent freelancers sometimes did. I supplement my Social Security with what I make from my art. When my husband died in 2018 after a long and horrific period I lost most of my Retirement money and was in debt. I relaunched my studio under Outta Thin Air. I am now out of debt and was able to build a #TinyStudio. I appreciate all the patrons have purchase my art merch. My personal selling site outtathinairstudio.com #QAndASeries My plan is to add to this series as the questions continue to pop up.
