Animal Art For Licensing

Animal Art For Licensing by Irish illustrator Carla Daly.

I am on a creative frenzy creating new images to license into the United States. My work is paying off, 5 images have been picked to sell as wall art pieces to Homegoods USA.


Above is my Arctic animal series. I wanted to create animals that have a lot of white on them, simple images with clean lines. I also wanted to use a limited colour palette. I think these would look great in a kids bedroom.

These animal art images are available for licensing, contact Carla - carla@carladaly.com or call +353 1 6602616

If you want to look at more of Carla's images and buy some of her personalised wall art drop into her online shop Gifts4Baby.ie.

At Gifts4Baby.ie Carla sells a range of personalised animal art prints for christenings, new baby and birthday gifts. We offer free shipping within Ireland and charge a small fee worldwide.

New Artwork By Illustrator Carla Daly

I am very busy at the moment between my online shop, selling Christening gifts and baby gifts - GIFTS4BABY.ie and creating new artwork for licensing.

Which is harder between the two? I just don't know, what I do know that it is a lot of work to keep up both.

Creating new art work for Art licensing is becoming a bigger part of my creative life, I am really enjoying it as I have been pushed into a creative flurry! I have to say, I probably needed it. My new agent sends art samples to show whats hot creatively at the moment.

These images are great to have, always good to analyse what is selling and what is not.

My latest new artwork for licensing are three animals I have never illustrated before - panda, fox and moose. O created them in Photoshop with a watercolour background. My moose artork is still unfinished and taken me a week to get to this stage. A very hard image to illustrate.

Fox Artwork - Art For License

Mr Fox artwork above was the quickest image to complete. One of those images you sit down and everything falls into place. 

Moose Artwork - Unfinished

Moose artwork is still unfinished.  I have been working on it for over 5 days now. I will post the finished artwork soon.

Panda Artwork - Art For License


The first in the series, Panda. I really love the simplicity of the image. I am hoping to create another 3 in this art series.

Art Licensing - Animals & Sprinkles

Art Licensing - Animals & Sprinkles

Art Licensing - Animals & Sprinkles by Carla Daly

Creating animal art for kids is a big passion of mine. As you will see at my online shop selling gifts for babies - Gifts4Baby.ie. I have made a business out of animals!

My big move recently is to start licensing art to the United States Of America, though I am not limiting myself there! The United States is obviously the biggest market.



Giraffe, Lion, Zebra, Crocodile are a few of the animal images I have created. Trying not to set them in a traditional jungle background, I decided to add glasses and sprinkles to the images.  Licensing is a very interesting area to work in. I am trying to get my images more neutral. Maybe that's not the correct work but more mass appeal. 



Kids images seem to have less colour in them and neutral colours are the fashion. My art is all about colour so not sure how this will work out!
