Illustration Contracts

Hey guys, we creative types all love long-winded and wordy contracts, right? No? Oh yeah that's right. No-one does.

Just wondering, what do you consider the bare essentials of, specifically, an illustration contract? Or do you have any favourite templates you like to tweak?
 
Hey Jim, glad you're better.

It's probably wrong of me, but I don't bother with contracts at all, though I'm quite happy to sign one if the client wants to draw one up (not that I read it properly anyway). Most of my work comes
from private individuals these days, so I make do with email proof and insist on a deposit etc. If it's a company, I make sure I get some
form of Purchase Order before I start, so there's often a certain amount of trust involved as they don't tend to like handing out a deposit.
