Yes she's a busy and talented artist, I hope this video shows the amount of work it can take to make licensing super profitable.

What is Certek? An artist convention? Am I saying it correctly?

surtex.com/ It's an industry tradeshow where artists, design studios and art agents can show off their art for product at booths and art buyers for companies can purchase or license the work. It is significantly smaller than it used to be but attending is a great learning experience.

Very interesting! I didn't catch any numbers of designs produced every month?

Yea, I don't think Nicole could even tell you that, she obviously does a LOT!

I know this is a past interview but I’d like to know how many collections both of you create per year? Should there be a minimum amount of collections you should be creating each year when your starting out?

So from this clip, it sounds like Nicole does around 15-20 collections that she debuts in January and July based on trends she's been asked for, but in between she gets asked for a LOT of other art for specific projects, she really is a creative powerhouse. for example, I believe she licenses 3-5 yearly calendars on different themes, so all of those have 12 designs each. I usually do around 8-10 new collections a year for my licensing portfolio and then maybe 8-10 single image greeting card designs as well. Unsurprisingly, I make a LOT less money with my licensed art.

Nicole is indeed, a creative powerhouse and such a lovely, generous person sharing her knowledge. Art Licensing is a long term commitment. For any artist who wants to be successful in licensing, you should focus first on making sure that your art is distinctive but still ‘commercial’. It takes time to find your ‘signature style.’ Good art will always ‘stand out from the crowd’. Nicole’s art is beautifully painted and she can draw. I am still licensing art that I painted 15 years ago because of this too. Unfortunately in our industry, there is a lot of ‘smoke and mirrors’ being taught by so called ‘experts’ out there which sets up this expectation of guaranteed success after taking their courses. Elizabeth is the ‘real deal’.
