Love your work. Some of them are perfect for a project that I am working on. Please read the following and then I would love to receive submissions from you.



Call to Artists:



Rates:

License your existing art works and create new commissions from $1000 and up, with no revenue cap to your compensation for ongoing licensing and reproduction of popular pieces.



Project Specifications:

My fellow artists; ladies, and gentlemen; I am managing the supply side ( licensing ) of a new retail fine art distribution program for a well established and still rapidly growing USA based company which distributes world wide. What this means is that I am charged with licensing for reproduction and distribution, over 200 pieces of unique digital and traditional fine art, all to fall within the very broad themes related to “Female ; Character and Figurative” works. Focusing however, on Sub themes of “Fantasy”, “Magna”, “warrior goddess”, “Animation” “Anime”, “Action”, “Comic Hero” “Action Hero”, Ninja, “ Heroine” “ Samurai”, “Villain”, “Angels”, ” Ferry”, “Sports” , “ lifestyle”, etc. , We are focusing in on single character, ¾ to full body figurative works with both simple and complex background settings with an emphasis on young, sexy, and athletic though nothing beyond G & PG rated will be viable. Please keep in mind that our target demographic is female, ages 4 thru 17 yrs.



Business Philosophy:

As an artist and artist rep, I find my loyalties lay with the artist in any licensing agreement and that there is always a way to negotiate an equitable win/win for all parties involved. My philosophy is that the artist should always continue to benefit from their craft to at least an equal degree as the distributor of their work to avoid unfair exploitation of the creative community. As a working artist and former Silicon Valley entrepreneur with significant experience as Sr. Tech Recruiter and Staffing Mgr, Director of Business Development, and Executive V.P. of Sales, I have found that such fairness is easily achieved through diligence in contract negotiation with the goal being a fair and equitable licensing agreement for all.
