AOI, Art Licensing Presentation

Rachael was honoured to have been invited to provide a talk on Art Licensing for The AOI (Association of Illustrators), at an event held in London UK. ‘Licensing Illustration: Industry Insights For Success’, was an amazing one-day event & included insight into ‘applying & licensing illustration work across a range of products & surfaces’.

Rachael was part of an industry expert panel including; the wonderfully talented (& one of our design heroes) paper-cut artist Rob Ryan, Vicki Willden-Lebrecht of Bright Art Licensing Agency, illustrator Helz Cuppleditch & lawyer Robert Lands.

“As a surface designer I feel lucky to be able to work across many markets, with varied clientele and infinite professional opportunities. It is an industry with huge scope, which celebrates many styles and permits a broad portfolio. This ensures that life is never dull. After all, as surface pattern designers we decorate the world with our colour, design & energy. Imagine the world without any surface pattern in it… What a mundane and uninspiring place that would be. I hope this talk inspires you to make your own mark and beautify the world a little more!”
