Question for commisioned artists

[JollyMisanthropeParticipant 3356]

For awhile I’ve been thinking about starting a small T-shirt business that deals with politically incorrect content. Basically shirts with a big “f~~~ you” message to “SJW’s” and the like, MGTOW related shirts, etc. Lampooning pop culture is another type of content I’m interested in as well. Kind of like T-Shirt Hell. I already have a couple solid ideas that deal with the whole Brony thing.

Given the shirts will not be purely text but also have graphics, such as the brand mascot and other characters, I will need to hire an artist to do that sort of stuff. However, I want to have full copyright ownership of the designs after I’ve paid the commission for them. Under very rare circumstances I’d consider collaborating with someone, but I’m extremely hesitant to do so since I’ve already been royally f~~~ed over in the past where business ventures are concerned and don’t want to have that experience again. Ever.

I was just curious if any of the members on here do digital artwork and might have some advice for what I’ve proposed above, as well as anyone else that wants to chime in.

The Children of Doom... Doom's Children. They told my lord the way to the Mountain of Power. They told him to throw down his sword and return to the Earth... Ha! Time enough for the Earth in the grave.
