I think i will be starting my road to licensing my art with collaged animals. I will start with birds, owls are a big item in fabrics and decor right now. I am not in "fine art" mode here, I save that for gallery and art shows. My goal is to sell what is main stream with a twist of my own. The scan is not the best but you get the idea

Here are a few

crows I put together in October but haven't place them in a painting yet. I may not after all and use them for my licensing submissions.

Making some art papers today. I am in the process of creating a few items for submission for licensing. I was reading a few articles and they recommend putting together a series that can be used on various items such as mugs, notecards etc. Also if I am going to try to sell for this purpose I have to copyright/register my work. I am placing these in a separate portfolio for myself. I will not license any art that has been sold privately because they are originals and generally on canvas. Just think, how would you feel if you bought a painting at a gallery and then see snippets of it on items in retail stores? It is then no longer an original work of art.\
