This basic introduction is thoroughly 'user friendly'.......2007-10-07
Now in a newly updated and expanded third edition, "Licensing Art 101: Publishing And Licensing Your Artwork For Profit" takes up where most art classes leave off -- how to make a living as an artist. Drawing upon his more than 31 years of experience and expertise in the licensing industry, Michael Woodward clearly covers such fundamental issues for aspiring artists as how to negotiate fees for their services, how to approach various markets with their artworks, targeting a presentation, exhibiting in trade shows, and protecting their rights as artists. "Licensing Art 101" is enhanced with some 300 contacts including calendar publishers, art licensing agents, greeting card publishers, fin are publishers, and book publishers. Taking a comprehensive, step-by-step, real-world approach to the subject of licensing art, this basic introduction is thoroughly 'user friendly' and should be considered essential, mandatory reading for anyone seeking to pursue a professional career as an artist regardless of the medium in which they work.
Perfect.......2007-08-31
This is truly a superb book in every way. Not only is it comprehensive in terms of the steps one needs to take to market their art, but there's also a list of questions at the end of each chapter to help you develop an action plan, for which there's an empty column to write down your tasks.
Personally, I respond very well to "to do" lists and deadlines, so using this book in combination of working with a life coach is bringing wonderful results.
The book also tackles the publishing issue from two sides: one is finding someone to represent you (which is my preference), and the other is how to publish yourself. (I did the independent route in music, and believe me, it's rough. This time around, I'm willing to pay someone in percentages to do it for me and just let me make the art.)
I give it a big thumbs-up.

Missing pages.......2007-01-20
The book contains all of the information I was seeking, and more. However, the first 17 pages of the book were missing, and several other pages were duplicated. Another copy of the book was not available and would not be until months after I needed the information.
I did not know that another was not available when I returned the book to Amazon for a replacement. When I learned no others were available, I asked that the original be returned to me. Amazon was very helpful, and did not charge shipping for the return or the replacement.
Both the book and Amazon were and are very helpful.
A top pick for any artist who would understand how licensing works and how to protect .......2006-08-17
The second updated edition of LICENSING ART 101: PUBLISHING AND LICENSING YOUR ARTWORK FOR PROFIT is a top pick for any artist who would understand how licensing works and how to protect - and profit from - artistic rights. Chapters not only focus on legal aspects but marketing strategies, business practices, presentations and more. It's the artist's tool kit for putting art out in the world effectively, as well as licensing.

Butterlies are included in almost every conceivable size and color.The quality of the paper is also excellent, making the images easy to cut and glue.
Great source of butterfly pictures.......2003-02-09
There are 388 pictures to draw from. Some are not very clear (a little blurry) but I'd say 80% are really good. Great colors, lots of variety both in terms of types of butterflies and in sizes. Most are stand alone butterflies but some are accompanied by flowers/fruit too.

Decoupage patterns.......2007-02-14
These are pretty and colorful patterns. They are "dated" in the sense that they are patterns that were popular probably a century ago. Some of this I find odd (like children's heads popping out of flowers and fruits) but there aren't too many of those and maybe some people like children "emerging" from fruits and flowers! All around a good selection, I would think most people would find much to their liking in these designs.
Fabulous colour.......2005-05-22
I am a huge fan of Carol Belanger Grafton, and this book of images is part of the reason why. The images are beautifully rendered, very clear, and have magnificent colour. I am using these, and others of hers, for both decoupage and scrapbooking. They are so lovely that just paging through the book is inspiring.
A beautiful resource!.......2004-12-31
Ms Grafton's book is an excellent and colorful resource that all lovers of decoupage must own. The size of the graphics vary and the images are usually quite clear and colorful. There is no shortage of colors, sizes, shapes, and varieties of fruits and flowers. The quality of the paper is glossy and easy to cut and paste. I highly recommend this book.
packed with images.......2003-02-09
This book has 305 images to choose from. Lots of strong vibrant colors, pretty good quality in terms of being clear (not blurry), some have people faces in them (e.g. flowers with people faces in the center), they range in size from 1" to 1/4 page in size. Some really pretty pansy images. I'm finding it to be a really good resource.

Old Times.......2007-01-11
I really like this book. I got lots of ideas. I also like the one that comes with the CD because you can print the pictures off as many times as you can until the CD is worn out. I wish they have more of their vignettes to come with CD's and more clip art pictures. I have more in my wish list.
