It's a gray area at best. A lot of shops post comps on their web sites. Some even post comps from work that their employees did at other shops. I'm not saying it's necessarily right, simply that it's done. I think as a general rule, artists should wait until after the release of the movie (better yet, the DVD) to post anything in their portfolio. "Work for hire" doesn't usually stipulate that an artist can't show their work in a portfolio. The copyright belongs to the studio, but artist are almost always allowed to use the images they created in their portfolio. Drew Struzan, Phil Roberts, Bob Peak, and John Alvin (RIP) all have comps posted on their websites and you'd be hard pressed to argue that they're naive.

This kind of childish attempt at one-upmanship can immediately create unneeded headaches for the studio marketing team up and down the line of command. And as for the ad shop that allowed this kind of rogue behavior, shops have been blackballed for much less than this type of infraction. And what happened to the time honored concept of "work-for-hire" between a freelancer brought onto a project and the agency, as well as the bottom line fact that the studio that hired this, or any other agency, has the expectation that their decisions will not become public fodder for the whole marketing community to seize on, if, God forbid, the film tanks. Shame, shame, shame and the let the chips fall where they may from this point forward.
