Image Licensing – How to Earn Money From Your Images By Jan Weiss
How do you even start to get into this business? I got into it by working for an art publisher, learning everything there was to know about art publishing and pushing the art developers to look at my art. Eventually they did and eventually my art was licensed on product such as kitchen accessories, clocks, journals, notepads, olive oil bottles, memo boards and pens.
If working for a publisher is not the route for you then it will be up to you to take the initiative to research and learn about licensing companies as much as possible. It is best to work with an agent because they have all the contacts. Of course part of your earnings will go to them but they are the ones covering the expense of attending tradeshows and getting your work in front of the right people.

Licensing Artwork? How to Protect Your “Assets” When Entering Into an Agreement to License Art
For an artist or graphic designer there is nothing more rewarding than seeing your art on actual product out in the retail environment. I’ve been designing and developing art and products for licensing for quite a while now and it’s still like Christmas every time I receive product samples for approval. I can’t tell you how much I enjoy opening boxes filled with various product samples that I have designed and created. Maybe you already know this feeling or maybe you are just starting to venture out into the world of artwork licensing. I hope so! If you are just starting out then you should check out Surtex National Stationery and Gift Show in New York. This show is one of the best ways to show your work to people actively seeking new talent.
