Have you ever said, "I'm not an artist" or "I can't draw"? Or have you ever created a piece of artwork and then you looked at it and thought, "my artwork is no good, there's something wrong with it." Not long ago, I said these same things. My turning point came when my nieces taught me that art can be fun and it doesn't have to be expensive.

Pitch Perfect Portfolio Art Licensing Challenge (Skillshare)

As a creative business owner, I have several different revenue streams to keep my business, Gingiber, going and growing. Art Licensing is very appealing to artists and illustrators because companies essentially “rent” your artwork and put it on their products. I started licensing my art 10 years ago, and I love finding the right licensing partners to work with. You can license illustrations, surface patterns, hand lettered pieces, fine art.... there are so many possibilities.
