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.ALT


Muriel Fahrion, the creator of Strawberry Shortcake and Care Bears, was under a work for hire contract when she created them and as a result has received no residuals over the last 40+ years. If you like either of those properties, consider purchasing something from her website. She has art and cute jewelry!

oh good tags: #one time I woke up in the middle of the night and saw a shadowy figure standing in front of my window. I didn't pay it any mind and instead decided to roll over and fall back asleep. later on in the morning did I find out that the figure was in actuality my step-dad coming to close my cracked open window. pretty crazy to think about how it could have been some creep who had come to murder me in my sleep and I straight up didn't care. #come to bring my life to a grizzly end in the dead of night? #alright! #just give me five more minutes thx

#once there was a house fire at the house next to us and it was QUICKLY spreading, and I tried to wake my sister up so we could evacuate our house. and she said "wake me up when it becomes an issue" and went back to sleep. #i…

#fun fact once i woke up in the middle of the night#and i could have sworn i heard some guy climbing up the brick walls of our house#thought i was dreamin#went back to sleep#next morning the house was robbed and nobody had any idea how he got in-- windows all closed#doors still locked#but i know in my heart of hearts he came down the chimney
