National Park Landscape Art Turned to Puzzles!

One of my biggest wins has been my most recent collaboration after taking the B+B course — a brand called Micro Puzzles. I now have my National Park watercolor landscapes printed on Micro Puzzles and now a big National Park merch brand called Parks Project wants to get them in their online store.

Frequently Asked Questions

What comes with the course?

Great question! This course includes over 30 pages of guides and handouts to go along with each module, over 10 hours worth of video courses and bonus modules, and customizable templates. The course is self-led but you do get access to a student-led community group!

Can I take this course if I'm not in the U.S.?

Absolutely! The internet is a beautiful thing. If you have internet access, you can take this course AND licensing is a global industry. I've worked with manufacturers in Canada, Europe and more! P.S. One of our students in the course is from Poland and works with US brands, too!

What's the difference between this course and Pen to Press?

Great question! These two courses are completely different. Pen to Press is a course on custom stationery design and working with stationery CLIENTS, while this course covers licensing. How to write contracts, how to price your work, how to find the right partnerships, building and organizing a portfolio, etc. This is the next step in terms of career for most creatives if you’re wanting to get into passive income and working with brands. Licensed artists can find their work on products like home goods, office supplies, etc. in retailers, while custom stationery clients (Pen to Press group) will be working on wedding stationery or custom greeting cards.

How do I know this course will be worth it?

People who pay, pay attention. This course is meant to help people who are serious about licensing their work and growing their business. Spending under $1100 for this content is an insane deal and if you put in the work you learn, your results will turn into profit. You have the potential to make the money you spend on this course back in no time! Or…if you’re not serious, you could spend the next few years figuring it out on your own and hopefully making it work in this highly competitive marketplace!

I'm only just getting started with my creative business, is this still for me?

Absolutely! If you want all the guesswork taken out of the beginning stages (and then some!), then you're right for this course.

Why is the payment plan more than the one-time payment?

Great question! The payment plan students take a lot more monitoring/work on our end. We have to check each subscription every month to make sure payments are going through (credit cards change) and communicate with you to help you avoid late fees!

Can you live off of licensing?

YUP! I have a friend who makes 7-figures a year just off of her licensing business! But as I've mentioned before, you've gotta implement and put in the work from this course. Just because you hit purchase, doesn't automatically guarantee success!

Do I need a large following on Instagram to be successful in licensing?

Nope! In the course we have a bonus module dedicated to HELPING you grow your Instagram following, but it's definitely not necessary to have this in order to license your artwork.

Do current students get new updates?

ABSO-FRIGGIN-LUTELY!! That's what makes this course and investment so bomb! We're continually looking at the course to update the content, making sure it's always the best educational content out there on licensing AND that all of the topics stay super relevant for you and your business. We take feedback from our students very seriously and want to continue to help you grow your business!

What programs and paperwork do I need for the course and for licensing?

Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator (at least Illustrator), a registered business for when you start working with licensees/manufacturers, a lawyer on deck that can help you register your trademark if necessary (we have recommendations inside the course), an agent (not required and we have a whole spreadsheet full of agents that you contact to pitch to)! Dropbox for organizing your files and Canva for making quick one-sheets are two of my other go-to platforms that I recommend!
