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!

Los Angeles Wall Art By Carla Daly I have recently completed two illustrations for Stupell industries. My brief was to create an image that reflects the LA lifestyle. It was a very specific brief as the client Home Goods, USA have a clear idea of what their customers want. These two images will be available in the Los Angeles, Home Goods stores.  Los Angeles Wall Art By Carla Daly I am really keen to license my art and have been working hard on creating new images. The United States is my focus as it is a massive outlet for my work. I have licensed five image to Home Goods and another 12 to Marmont Hill for their online shop. My two Los Angeles wall art prints have been to most interesting to complete. A slight step away from all my animal wall art, it got me think slightly differently about my artwork. I really enjoyed creating them and would love more work like this to come my way.  Los Angeles Wall Art Framed By Carla Daly You can see more of ...

A short video showing how my art has progressed over the years. When I first came out of art college, I worked mainly in children's publishing. I always wanted to create my own art products and my first chance came when I opened a small shop in Urbana, Templebar. I then moved from there to my online shops selling kids wall art and personalised baby gifts. Gifts4Baby , KidsNurseryArt and BabyArtGifts are my online websites selling my kids wall art and personalised baby gifts. Please drop in!

In October 2011 I received a call from my brother, Simon, that his 19 year old son had decided to focus the next few months working on a porfolio for art college and would I help. Christian had just passed his leaving cert and then realised that what he wanted to be was an artist. Christian used to spend time with me in my studio as a child and always enjoyed art, but that was the last thing I had seen him draw, and had no idea what type of creative he would be. I obviously said I would help and five months later after Christian sitting in my work room (which is quite small) painting, drawing, sculpting, has today delivered his porfolio to his first art college for review. Nerve racking stuff! I think he is a very powerful creative and his passion is to become an animator, which I have no doubt he will become. I also must say thank you to some seriously creative people who helped him along the way, Trion Sweeny of Sandymount Art School , Charlie and Caroline Kranz and Viv Duignan . ...
