How This Editorial Cartoon License Works

This listing is designed for writers, editors, publishers, newsletter owners, commentators, and organizations that want to use an existing Maria Grasmick political cartoon in a clearly defined editorial setting.

Before purchasing, review the artwork you would like to license and make sure it is an existing piece from the Maria Grasmick archive. This product is for licensing completed artwork only. It does not include the creation of a new custom cartoon, revisions to an existing cartoon, or alteration of the original artwork.

After checkout, include the title or link to the requested cartoon, the name of your publication or organization, where the cartoon will appear, and whether the use is for an article, newsletter, website, or related editorial promotion. A written confirmation will be provided before publication.

This license is non-exclusive. Maria Grasmick may continue to display, sell, publish, license, and reproduce the artwork elsewhere. The purchaser may not transfer the license to another person, organization, publisher, advertiser, or platform without written permission.

For use in a printed magazine, book, campaign mailer, paid advertisement, podcast artwork, video, merchandise collection, or another commercial project, please request a custom quote before purchasing. Those uses require a separate agreement because they involve different audiences, print quantities, distribution methods, and value to the project.

Maria Grasmick retains all copyright, authorship, and ownership rights in the original artwork unless a separate written agreement specifically states otherwise.
