Art-Trope Exhibition in Queens
I just recently found out about this and plan to add the clause to the sales contracts for all my paintings. I will post links as I find more info about the law. Basically, this allows the artist to be paid a percentage each time the artwork is sold. SWEET!!! I am now looking for an example of the clause in a contract….if you know it, please post.
Droit de suite (resale royalty right)
Many countries have enacted some form of droit de suite, an economic right entitling visual artist to share in the proceeds each time their works are resold. The resale right has a double premise. One is that works of fine art, whose value typically lies in an original or limited edition, are under-rewarded by copyright whose economics are driven by the prospect of mass distribution. the other is that artist who sell their works at starvation prices should be allowed to share in the work’s increased value on resale. As Professor David Vaver has observed, “In truth, the droit de suite s exceptional in a scheme either of copyright of author’s right: it does not relate to the use of the work, but rather to the obtaining of a share of the profits on resale. Nor is it a right to exclude or to receive compensation on use”
Focus: New artist resale royalty scheme
13 February 2009
In brief: The Federal Government has introduced draft legislation to create a scheme under which visual artists will receive a royalty on commercial resales of their works. Creators of artworks including paintings, drawings, sculptures and photographs stand to receive a 5 per cent royalty on all resales over $1000. Partner Jim Dwyer (view CV) and Senior Associate Marina Lloyd Jones report on this development.
Resale Royalty Rights >>
by Peter Garrett MP
The painter John Olsen once remarked, ‘On the resale of art, everyone else makes money, but the artist is forgotten’.[1] For a decade the Howard Government has been fudging around the proposal that artists should be entitled to a small percentage of the sale price of their works when the original work is resold, known as a ‘resale royalty’.
Resale Royalty Right for Visual Artists: Discussion Paper
The New Zealand government has been examining international developments relating to a resale royalty right, and the possible impact of applying such a right in New Zealand. As part of this project, the Ministry for Culture and Heritage has prepared a discussion paper. This discussion paper provides an overview of these international developments, and looks at a number of options that could form the basis of a resale royalty right scheme in New Zealand.

My new theme song!
I love this song!
Lyrics to Missfit : by the Horror Pops
I don’t always tread, dont always tread careful
Yeah
Most of the time im quite anoying
I don’t watch my mouth
Don’t find an out in a fight!
I can scream and shout and be a loud mouth!
And I, I’m from the wrong side of the town
Now proud
On top of that I’m female!
Nothing, nothing I say is adiquit
According to you I’m a MissFit!
What made you my judge and juror?!
So I don’t give into the common trends
Is that something I have to defend?
Who made you my judge and juror?
So I carry my fists, I carry my fists high
‘Cause most of the time I know I have to fight
For what I believe in, what I believe is right
Even stupid things like keeping my hair dyed
And I… I’m from the wrong side of the town
Now proud..
On top of that I’m female!
Nothing, nothing I say is adiquit
According to you I’m a MissFit!
What made you my judge and juror?!
So I don’t give into the common trends
Is that something I have to defend?
Who made you my judge and juror?
My fist in the middle of your face
My fist in the middle of your….
Nothing, Nothing I say is adiquit
According to you I’m a MissFit
What made you my judge and juror?
Do I dont give in to the common trends
Why is that something I have to defend?
I still stand tall!
My second great niece was born today!
That makes me a great Aunt. My nephew Steven and his wife Jennifer delivered a second healthy baby girl.
Click here to view the photos of her arrival party.
Unfortunately, I was back to work in New York and unable to attend the celebration. My mother was also unable to be there due to her two broken ribs. She fell on some stairs and broke her ribs on the railing this past Tuesday. I was there on vacation and had been cooking at Deanne’s for the upcoming party for Iggy Pop. We were susposed to go to the lakehouse but decided not to due to the stormy weather.
Here is my list of punk, hardcore, and rockabilly shops.

This looks like a good show, I have not read the book yet.
The Discovery Channel was so taken with Fred Krupp’s best-selling book Earth: The Sequel—The Race to Reinvent Energy and Stop Global Warming that they decided to make a television special out it. This new, one-hour Discovery show, also called Earth: the Sequel, will air for the first time on March 11 at 10pm Eastern (check local listings). I invite you to join me and the entire EDF family and pledge to watch this Discovery special.
This exciting new show could not have come at a better or more important time. President Barack Obama and Congressional leaders have made passing a strong global warming bill a priority this year. Such a bill would create economic incentives to cut our global warming pollution and reward the exciting green energy innovation described in the Discovery special. I hope you will mark your calendars and be sure not to miss this excellent new show. And by pledging to watch the show, we’ll send you a reminder email on the morning of March 11.
Thanks for your activism and support, Joanne Woodward EDF Trustee
P.S. The revised paperback edition of Earth: The Sequel is now available online. Please order today for a detailed account of how our green energy future is being invented and built today.
I love this animation series, it was one of the first to be created with Flash. It first came out in 2001 and he made 8 episodes. Joe Sparks makes the music for this also. Click here to see for yourself!
