Its's a jungle in here!

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!

Above Alphabet Wall Stickers -10 x 10 cm (4"x 4") each sticker. I have written in my Blog about starting my online shop to sell my art for children . I started my enterprise by creating four nursery wall art prints. When I quickly started selling, I realized, to keep customers interested and coming back, I had to offer a wider range of children's wall art. One product I thought would be great as wall decor was wall stickers. I started with a wall sticker range of five animals, these were nice but a bit small in size. I always wanted to illustrate the alphabet using animals, so, I decided it would be a better to do ABC animal wall stickers. It took me a long time to complete my alphabet wall stiker range. All the animals are handpainted, scanned into the computer and the backgrounds and text are done in photoshop.

At last I have finished the artwork for my map of the world. Now begins the hard part, finding a printer who will print onto a durable product at a reasonable price. Because this product is slightly different to the rest of my products, I am finding it hard to find a printer to produce it. I want the maps to be - light weight(for posting), durable ( for those sticky fingers!), cheap ( not to hurt your pockets too much!) and round( to look great on your walls). This seems to be a difficult task, but I know my printer is out there I just have to look harder. I will let you know when they are ready for sale on my sites- CarlaDaly.com and CarlaDaly.co.uk. In the meantime here is the final artwork, I hope you like it.

I am always trying to think of new product for my online shops- CarlaDaly.com and CarlaDaly.co.uk. . This idea has been buzzing around in my head for the last six months! The idea is to have a map of the world full of the animals of the world, it will be printed on a thin pvc ( 35 cm in diameter) and will just stick straight to the wall, no framing needed! It will be a durable product that can't be damaged. There will be two sides to the world, so two seperate products. They aren't available on my site yet, but will be soon. I haven't finished the second piece, when I do I will post it on my blog. This piece has taken a long time to do. I m showing you the early sketches to the final piece. The final product will be cut out to the shape of a circle, the edges are a bit rough here.
