What a strange article. He was paid a flat fee for some work and appears to have got greedy and bitter when the album was successful.

- zwischenzug 8y agoYeah, I don't get it: In 1971, Terry Ellis, the co-founder of Chrysalis Records, paid him a flat $1,500 fee for the three paintings which would comprise the album’s artwork, consummating the deal with nothing more than a handshake. It's not even in dispute. There was a contract, so what if it was not written down? Give me $1500 and you can do whatever you want with my three paintings. Handshake. Does the typesetter deserve royalties too?
