Check out my gorgeous flatlays! 🌺 📖 🌸

I’m so lucky that with every project we commission or license for our artists, I get a copy of the final product delivered to the Studio. It means the Studio is bursting with color and beauty!

Sometimes I can’t help myself and I just have to take photos to share with you. Scroll down to get your eye candy hit for the day!

Contact us to assign or license art. We’re happy to help you find the perfect artist or gorgeous images for your project!

See some highlights from our annual Retreat event

We had a fabulous time at our 9th Annual Artists and VIPs Retreat, held virtually via Zoom.

LRS Agents and Artists met with VIPs from markets such as publishing, home décor, and stationery. Artists and VIPs then broke into pairs for ten minutes apiece to view and discuss the artists’ gorgeous work.

We call it Speed Art Dating, and it’s a wonderful way for the artists and VIPs to meet.

Later, we held “LRS Artist Share Day,” where LRS artists could all be together, laugh, and share all the goss. Several artists also made small presentations on different subjects, such as recent creative trips, organizational tools, and arty toys that we all now need to go and buy.
Artists showed their gorgeous art to the VIPs a screenshared PDF.Those PDFs are now available for viewing and download here!They each include a few brand-new-never-before-seen pieces of art. Here is a selection of new images that were unveiled:

MATS artwork bonanza!

There’s always something happening over at Make Art That Sells! We are just wrapping up our fabulous Character Play class, and about to start Illustrating Children’s Books.

Character Play takes a mini story written by amazing Art Director Zoë Tucker, a brilliant toy concept by toy-master Riley Wilkinson, and squishes them together until they’re all melty. The result: amazing art! Scroll down to see…

Our most popular class, Illustrating Children’s Books, starts on Oct 9th! Join me THIS FRIDAY for a free live zoom with all the juicy details.

Join Zoë Tucker and me,

Friday Oct 6th,

12PM ET on zoom

 

Contact us to assign or license art. We’re happy to help you find the perfect artist or gorgeous images for your project!
