Re-use of artwork?

i'm a graphic designer and i've done a few illustrations for clients, mostly small businesses and not large corporations, who then use the illustration for additional items like tee shirts, postcards, etc. do i charge a usage fee for them to use it? does that fall under "licensing"? what's an appropriate fee?

Answer:
It is called a ROYALTY.

Artists may require / request this as a part of a contract.

This depends on the quantity of sales your artwork is expected to generate. This can range anywhere from a few cents, to a few dollars per sale.

Hope this helps.
You can charge accordingly, but have to be careful with the amounts because after so much you will need to get a license to sell.
