Art licensing means giving someone permission to use your art in specific ways, while you retain ownership. It’s a way to get your work on products, in publications, or part of commercial projects and get paid for it.
I’ve licensed my art to brands, magazines, and businesses, and I created this page to help you understand the basics, avoid common mistakes, and feel confident navigating art licensing as an artist.
Licensing is just one way to earn income from your creative work. If you’re also interested in selling art online, running product launches, or building a sustainable income from your art, visit my tutorials page to explore more guides and tools.
Art licensing has given me the freedom to earn more passive income, which in turn has allowed me to travel more freely.
