Written in a friendly and readable style, you'll find inspiration, motivation and a step by step explanation of how to get your work published. Make money licensing your artwork on gifts, stationery and greeting cards? Successful artist and writer Ronnie Walter has done exactly that and now she's written a book about the ins and outs of the art licensing business. You'll also travel along Ronnie's journey of how she went from a starving art student to a successful artist with hundreds of products generating royalties.
"heartfelt, funny, & information packed - what more could you want in an art licensing book?" according to Susan Allen. If you are new to the art licensing business, this is the best ever book to get you started. Order it NOW. It's chock full of great advice, resources, and a true and generous story of what this business is like. Even if you have been licensing your work for 20+ years (like I have) and know enough to have taught college classes on this subject (like I have) you should still read this book- there is always more to learn and/or to be reminded of! I smiled, laughed, related and ended up wishing Ronnie Walter could be my neighbor, friend, or art licensing therapist.. If you've ever wondered if you can be a licensed artist, this book is for you. I've been curious about licensing my art for a long time. But I had no clue where to even start. This book has helped me understand what the licensed art business is all about in a very funny, realistic way. It's not just about being a good artist, it's about understanding the market, the art people like to see on products. It's also about creating your own style. That will take time to develop. After reading the book, I can now see the possibilities that are available with hard work and determination. Ronnie's book has helped me answer the question "If not now, when?" I recommend it highly!. "A very good resource for creative types" according to Char Hardt. No wonder there are starving artists. They don't know people like Ronnie Walter.How-to books have to demonstrate actual usable advice, and when it's about the creative arts, it also needs to be entertaining enough to keep reading. This one succeeds at both.Ronnie Walter's breezy style is frothy and quick-witted, with equal parts self-pride and self-deprecation. The reader gets to understand an artist's background, and throughout, the book carries some very good nuggets of information in getting established in the world of artist as entrepreneur.I have found myself recommending it personally to others not directly in Art Licensin
