Licensing My Art.

-

I am licensing some of my work to a U.K. canvas print reproduction company called Happy Spaces. It has started me thinking about licensing my art. I really love producing and selling my own work but over the years I have thought about getting a licensing agent to sell my art internationally. Every artists dream!

I love thinking of product to produce for my online shop and enjoy the limitations I have with the cost of production and postal sizes. I have to be very creative with what products to produce, cost is always a big issue and all products have to be small and lightweight for posting. All the products I produce are on paper or card, I would love to do work on fabric and ceramic, design bags and bedding, you name it and I would love to create art for it!

I am starting by licensing my art on canvas, and shall see how well Happy Spaces sell my art, but I might start looking for that licensing company to reproduce my art onto all the products that I won't be able to get my creative hands on!

Above is one of the images I am licensing to Happy Spaces.

    How do you go about finding a reputable agent? I would love to do something like that.

    Well it is hard. The company Happy spaces approached me. I am going to look for an licensing agent but I think a good one will be hard to find.

    I will keep you posted on how I get on!

Illustrated map of Canada It has taken me ages and I am still not finished! I am really enjoying illustrating this map of Canada, but need a little break from maps! I have illustrated it with the cities and the towns of the different states. Then I have added the animals from the region. I hope to have it finished in the next week, I will post the final image when it is completed. Hope you like it!

Kids Map Of The UK & Ireland

Kids Map of the UK & Ireland (unfinished) I have decided to do a range of wall maps of different countries. I finished my USA map and am now starting the UK & Ireland. I have found that I really like illustrating maps! Also, I am not illustrating them in my usual hand drawn/painted way, I do hand draw all the animals and map outlines but then scann them onto my computer. I then colour them in on the computer and place them on the map, the text is then added, simple as that! Well, not that simple, it really takes my a long time, but I hope you think it is worth it. I am going to get samples printed, when I have approved them they will be printed and ready to buy, I will keep you posted!
