As a visual designer, I have studied copyright law regarding my end of the world quite a bit. Bottom line is this: all art (drawings, photos, etc.) belong to the artist UNLESS the client gets a written agreement prior to the onset of the project that the artwork will belong to the client.
Otherwise, I could design a logo for AT&T (theoretically) and if AT&T didn't get a legal contract stating the artist is giving up all rights to the logo, the artist could use later that logo in whatever s/he wished and sue AT&T for usage fees.
