Introducing Art Licensing to Artists & Designers

What is Art Licensing?

How would your life be different if you were earning  residual income right now from your art

“Art Licensing” is a  great way of generating income from  your art.

Instead of selling originals or selling your designs outright, many artists and designers will  grant the right (license) to use their art onto a specific product, for a period of time in exchange for a percentage of sales. This percentage of sales is called a royalty payment. 

By licensing your art, you have the potential to earn income on the same art piece or collection multiple times. A good commercial art work could be used on many products from stationery, greeting cards to ceramic, fabric and more.

In the US and Europe art licensing trade shows allow artists and designers to show new artwork to design and product manufacturing industries. As an artist you have a choice to do your own trade show or you can get an art licensing agent to represent you.

Art licensing has increasingly become popular in the design and product manufacturing industries. Lots of manufactures prefer to work with artists as it is one of a cost effective solution for their business. This mean they don’t have to financially commit to employ a full time artist or a designer at a high salary. Working with many different artists will also bring fresh ideas into their product designs, this is certainly will help to sales their products and  great way to position themselves in the  product design industry. 

Although Art Licensing is a fantastic opportunity for Artist to earn a residual income by creating and doing what they love. An  artist who is planning to  do art licensing will need to understand the art licensing process and what to paint in order to earn  good income in Art Licensing world.
