Copyrights, Contracts, & Guidelines for Dinosaur Artists & Paleontologists

Introduction If the eyes are the window to the soul, so dinosaur art is the window to the lost world. My professional life is immeasurably richer because of the activities of dinosaur artists who bring to life a world my eyes are too dim to see. Their skills begin precisely where mine end. It is not my professional activity that has drawn the interest of the public, but rather it is my work made accessible through the gifts of the artist. The partnership between the paleontologist and the artist is of long standing and of great importance.

It is in this spirit that The Dinosaur Society is proud and delighted to present Copyrights, Contracts, Pricing, & Ethical Guidelines for Dinosaur Artists and Paleontologists by Tess Kissinger. Doing what we can to foster a healthy guild of dinosaur artists can only advance the goals of The Dinosaur Society to further dinosaur science.
