Personalized Maps for Kids: A Unique Christmas Gift

Image
  Why Personalized Maps Make Perfect Christmas Gifts Personalized maps are a thoughtful and unique gift that can delight any child. They offer more than just a fun decoration; they can be a cherished keepsake that reminds children of their roots and heritage. By including the child's name and the specific county or city they are from, these maps become special mementos that can be treasured for years. These maps are also versatile gifts that can fit any occasion, but they are particularly perfect for Christmas. The holiday season is a time for giving meaningful gifts, and a personalized map is a wonderful way to show a child that they are special and loved. Educational Benefits of Personalized Maps for Kids Personalized maps are not just visually appealing; they are also highly educational. They can help children learn about geography, the different regions of Ireland, and even world geography if you choose a world map. By seeing their name and location on the map, kids can dev

Animal Art For Licensing

Image
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 compl

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!
