My art has been licensed by thousands of businesses and individuals all over the World. Usually my work ends up on a wall, but sometimes it surprises me where it will appear. A drone….Who would have thought? It’s a design submission by one of my fans/licensees. I hope they make it!

You can license my work and save money. Even for PERSONAL use!
You’ve found one of my prints online and you need a large size. You love it! But what you do not love is the high shipping and handling charges associated with transporting such a large canvas. There is a solution! I am happy to license my work to you for your personal and/or business use. Why pay 300 – 400 in shipping charges when you can find a local printer who can use one of my high resolution images to make you exactly what you want for a lot lower price!
The process is easy. I have a simple legal contract for us to sign and I send you an invoice. Once paid, I put the high resolution image into a Dropbox folder for you. You then share that with your printer so they can make your print for a fraction of the cost. A lot of my overseas businesses license from me instead of paying for crazy shipping.
This art consulting firm wanted a huge wall mural map for a client. Shipping would have made it prohibitive. So they licensed the work and here is the result!

My “Black Magic” are scheduled to appear in tomorrow’s episode of Criminal Minds (9pm EST). Look for them in the Beauty Salon scene. About a month ago, someone from CBS’s art department contacted me for licensing rights to 6 of my “Black Magic” images. I said yes. Fees were paid, a contract was signed and my episode was revealed. It’s exciting!

Sometimes it feels like your life is in a rut and there is no way out. You have lots of seeds planted, but nothing is happening. There is plenty of creative sunshine and marketing water, but the seedlings stay the same size. You keep doing what you’ve always done and you get the same results you’ve always gotten.
Just when you start to feel a little stale like there is nowhere else to expand, something happens to let you know that there is always room to grow. Whether it is in a relationship, your health or career, you can always find new avenues to take you to destinations that will increase your satisfaction in life.
I am super busy this Spring with many projects in my fire, but they are all tasks that I have been doing for years. Nothing new. So I was delighted when an art consulting firm in Atlanta contacted me about designing art for a new hotel. Right now, I only know they want tropical fish, 8 unique pieces and that it will have a Florida Keys theme. Talk about right up my alley! Or should I say coral reef. 😉
So I am growing into new opportunities with my artwork. The most important thing you can do to move in new directions is be “open” to them. Right now I am WIDE OPEN!

Spring has sprung in Florida! The weather is absolutely perfect. The azaleas are blooming in glorious hot pink beauty. The grass is greening up. Bees are buzzing. My orchids are budding. And then there is the pollen. Aaaaaachooo!! Yup, I get allergies bad this time of the year and that sticky yellow stuff gets in my nose, eyes and lungs and I spend my time indoors or masked. If I venture outside I wear a hat (so it doesn’t get in my hair), a mask and glasses. I shower before bed and keep my sheets as clean as possible. It only lasts about a month or so like this, but it is a wait. What to do? Create of course! I love the LOOK of Spring and decided to keep it positive with this fun and whimsical piece today.
This work is a mixed media piece combining some of my Labor of Love paintings with a stock background and graphic elements. A real joy to put together. 🙂 Enjoy!

When I first started to write this post it was going to be about the pros and cons of art licensing. However, a quick Google search will turn up a gazillion articles on exactly that. So I will keep this writing to two points.
There are two important factors in any healthy relationship including those between a potential licencor and licencee: communication and listening with intent.
When all of the elements are there for success such as an enthusiastic and hard working sales person on their end and a seasoned professional artist with great content on the other. What can go wrong?
Whether it is a marriage, home purchase, licensing agreement, etc. there is always a deal breaker. And to avoid that, you must learn a few skills such as listening with intention.
This is an important point. Listening with intention simply means that you pay attention to what the other party is saying with the intent to “understand” and not just “respond”. Once you set your own feelings and thoughts aside and gain an understanding of the other person, you can then know exactly how to proceed. When someone is clear and direct with you, it is always in your best interest to fully comprehend. And when they are not, ask questions if you are uncertain. Never assume anything.
Communication is defined as any act by which one person gives to or receives from another person information about that person’s needs, desires, perceptions, knowledge, or affective states. In other words if you have a great idea, share it with the other person. If there is something you want to do that involves them or their content, call them or email them with your intentions. Sucker punches never feel good. Keep them in the loop.
If you have aspirations to be a great sales person no matter what you are selling it would be in your best interest to hone in on the above skills. There are many books, self help workbooks, CD’s and seminars to help you along the way. These tools are investments in your future. I encourage you to pursue them.
When things fall apart like a big contract or art sale, stop and do an autopsy on the entire process from the first phone call to the last email. Ask yourself some key questions such as: Did I communicate clearly with the other party? Did I give them as much information as I could to facilitate trust? Did I read their emails carefully and ask questions where there was uncertainty? Did I respond to their questions adequately? Did I validate them?
Today’s offering is “Clear Purpose”….fitting I think. 🙂
