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 plan is to add to this series as the questions continue to pop up.

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!
