Moving Toward Licensing
I am making progress … I hope tomorrow I will be able to start moving on licensing again. Licensing is when someone or some company wants to use your images on their things – whether a yoga CD for someone’s class or Hallmark on their cards or place mats for your table and everything in between. Since many of my paintings are popular, I would very much like to license my work so lots of people can enjoy them.Â

With licensing the artist gets some amount of money each time her image is used. Once that is set up, it becomes passive income – like royalties from a book. Â I am sure you can see why I like this idea. I can feel the internal changes happening that mean I can getting ready to tackle licensing. Â I am realizing that I am worried I will get rejected .. well, we know for sure there will likely be more than a few of those unless I hit the heart of the target right off!
With all this commotion about the Orphan Works Act, I also have been discouraged to move along on the licensing … people were saying that places wouldn’t have to do licensing any more. Â But at this point I am convinced that reputatable places will stay be paying. So now it is just about time to get started … and to bill once again the place that I did work for in January that still has not paid me. Â Thanks for coming by!!
