Hey,
Thanks for getting in touch. I know you have a few aliases so I'd be interested in working with you but will be winding things down for the holidays at the end of the week and am not able to accept any more pre-holiday orders since a week or so ago.
The main sticking point is you would need permission from Sony and the Walt Disney Company to produce these as is, because they own the still photography as well.

It's literally faster to do that then to ask for a vector graphic, explain what that is, wait weeks and then get the same file resized to 100x or saved as strawberry floating word document or something.

My bosses have both said I’m on a list for a significant increase next year due to my importance at the company but they want me to submit a formal request so they know what I’m considering and outline why I think I deserve it etc.
It’s the first time I’ve ever done something like this in the 11 years of working for the company (normally I'm just given a increase each year normally in line with cost of living etc). So the main question; Is it too much to ask for a pay rise from 34k to 50k in one go?
Without revealing too much, I run the main accounts in the whole company by myself. Have grown the business from 2m EUR in 2016 to 9.9m EUR last year and am constantly told I’m one of the most valuable members of the company due to my knowledge of the business/accounts I run etc.
So is asking for that much pay-rise at once taking the piss or is it something that would be considered due to my role?
I know there’s probably a million varying factors but I’m sending the request outlining everything this afternoon and don’t want to look like an idiot by going in with something ridiculous.

Call a recruitment agent and see what you could earn elsewhere so you have a benchmark?

I rang three in November and they weren't exactly helpful, all of them said due to the size/value of revenue I've generated in the past they gave me a range anywhere between £40-£100k, wasn't exactly helpful and they said it depended on the size of the customer/business that was looking to hire etc.
