Stanka - I can tell you have stories. You crack me up
Tom - excellent advice. I will be sure that the contract presented to me addresses all of these issues and is written in my best interest before having an attorney look it over further.
Linda - thank you for the link. That is a good resource on artist copyright.
Lisa - you were right about what rolls off the toungue not being written in stone.
As it turns out, before I even had a chance to talk to him about it (his ears must have been burning), he is changing his mind about marketing strategy and is planning to feature me and my work on his "Sculpture and Design" brochure as more of an introduction. He will be featuring my work, plus a photo of me working in progress on the first prototype I will be starting on soon. Of course the portrait statues orderable through his design company.
I will make sure I retain copyright and that only sales made directly through him and his company are subject to the finder's fee (yet to be determined).
I'll keep you posted on the outcome of this endeavor.
