What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
Texas
Lets say a writer and and artist team up. The writer writes a story and the artists does illustrations about characters in the story written by the writer.
Am i right in assuming that the writer owns the character and the artist owns the illustration of that character?
Now they decide to leave each other after the work is complete.
Can the writer produce new stories using this character?
Can the artist produce new illustrations of the character or does he have to get permission?
Can the artist sell new illustrations of the character made after the work is complete?
Can the artist add additional story and sell that?
