Hi Rich.

Hopefully you'll see this post in time for it to be useful.

I've been purchasing freelance artwork for 40+ years; crypto artists are no different.

You correctly point out that enticing an artist to do a revenue share is probably not feasible. But keep in mind, there are always more artists than there is demand for their work. So with a little effort you may be able to locate an art partner, especially when the use is for an NFT.

Regardless, make sure you have a written agreement defining your relationship especially with regard to who owns the copyright and the downstream and adjacent rights: derivative works, international coverage, indemnification, etc.

Finally, know that most freelance artwork, programming and other creative services are purchased on a on a work-for-hire basis (hourly or fixed-fee), where ALL rights remain with the purchaser.
