Perhaps other people know of additional pricing surveys, etc. The Graphic Artists Guild Handbook of Pricing and Ethical Guidelines Currently in its 11th edition. Available from online booksellers or directly from GAG: http://www.gag.org/pegs/index.php The Association of Medical Illustrators Compensation Survey This survey is conducted every few years. Members are asked about fulltime salaries as well as hourly rates and "per job" prices for freelance work. It's available only to members through the "Members Only" section of their website. http://www.ami.org The Second Wind Network Production Price Survey http://www.secondwindnetwork.com/adsteintrial/surveystudy/prodprice/01prodprice. pdf Doesn't list prices for illustrations, per se. Instead it gives prices for total production costs (including art and photography) of advertisements for different media and markets. I believe Indexed Visuals also provides a pricing service/survey if you subscribe to one of their stock or IVfolio services. http://www.indexedvisuals.com Jim
