Why License Your Art?

There are many ways to sell your art. Producing commissioned work for advertising, magazine editorials, corporate or industrial use, selling original paintings through galleries, painting murals or furniture for individual clients, illustrating a children’s book-- these are all examples of art that has a single usage, and earns the artist a paycheck only once. The advantage of art for licensing is that a piece is created once, and the artist sells specific reproduction rights again and again to various manufacturers, while always maintaining his/her original art and copyright.

What Does A Licensing Agent Do For You?

In short, a licensing agent does all the legwork and paperwork, leaving you free to do the artwork. First, the agent has an understanding of the markets into which he/she sells-- the toy, gift, stationary, and home decor industries are comprised of thousands of companies that each have a new product development department with decision makers and art buyers. The agent has built relationships with these people and they look to him/her for new work from their source of artists.
