Licensing your art -- tips from artist Cathy Zhang, Easy Sunday Club

Check out this terrific You Tube clip with tips from the trenches on licensing your art.


Artist Cathy Zhang 
was featured in my blog post on Patchwork Art Show  Santa Ana Dec 2019.

It's double the fun to discover a new artist .. then quickly learn that she is protecting her IP and teaching other artists to do the same.

You too can generate a passive income stream from work you've already done. Help your artWORK work for you. 

Have your own licensing agreement ready to go. Of course companies will have an agreement to present to you, but having your own means you get a chance to familiarize yourself with putting the contract together and protecting the rights that matter most to you.

Add a clause to any license agreement that if your artwork is posted your name and website address must be included. Your name. Your brand. Your IP. It's worth protecting and promoting. If the company doesn't want to agree to this, negotiate for more compensation. That may get them to comply. If they share your art on their website, you want the credit and link to drive business to your brand that they licensed.
