2. Art Licensing

greeting card done for Marcel Schurman (aka Papyrus)


I dreamed about licensing my art last night. You know something is really on your mind when you dream about it! (Like those waitress dreams I used to have back in school, when I waitressed to pay the rent, and then dreamed about waiting tables all night long!).

The reason I was dreaming about licensing, no doubt, is because I listened in on TWO teleseminars about art licensing yesterday.

The first was a licensing class presented by J'net Smith, of All Art Licensing. She is the licensing agent responsible for making Scott Adam's Dilbert character what it is today - BIG. She knows her stuff. I've listened in on a few of her presentations, and have always been pleased with the information she shares.

The other teleseminar was a talk about Branding by Paul Brent, presented through Tara Reed's Art Licensing Info series of seminars. Paul Brent is a BIG name in licensing, and the nicest man, and he shared so much really fantastic information in the seminar. Tara Reed is a licensed artist and super helpful font of information about the whole licensing industry.

If you are interested in licensing your art, I would recommend checking out both Tara and J'net's websites for starters. I have some of Tara's ebooks on how to do repeat patterns and also her product mock-up templates, which are great! J'net has some product templates too, as do other people. (Product templates are 'blanks' of plates, cups, napkins, mugs, shower curtains, etc. etc. etc. for you to apply your art to to show manufacturers how your art would look on their products, so they will get all excited and license your art.)

This is just a really brief post about all of this - I'll probably come back from time to time and share more info as I delve into this more. In the past I've licensed my art for greeting cards to a few companies, but would like to do a lot more. I'm quietly working behind the scenes to put together some collections and a body of work just for licensing.

I'll add some links to sites and blogs here in the next couple of days.

But for now, its off to work I go!

3. Tidbits from Sunday's Paper

So I've just now sat down with yesterday's paper. Here's the news:

The Off Key Krooners are looking for volunteers. Finally! A musical group who would appreciate my talents.

People with bigger noses do not have superior smelling abilities. I'm sure we can all rest easier knowing this important controversy has reached its end.

The paper is running a read-along using the book The Cricket in Times Square. Who can resist that title? I've got to get this book.

More dog books on the scene--one sounds a bit like Marley and promises to be just as heart wrenching: Good Dog. Stay by Anna Quindlen.

A woman is being sued over comments she made in her blog.

I'm innocent, I tell ya! It wasn't me, it was some other blogger, yeah, I ain't no stoolie, I won't snitch.

Be careful, my cyberspace friends. But if they do throw you in the pokey, contact me immediately--I know how to bake cakes with files inside.
