Get ready to freak out over the pitches created by our artists for Week One: Restaurant Pretend Play. These were created in my brand new
My Toy Pitch course which I am co-teaching with our brilliant toy guy, Riley Wilkinson (formerly of Mattel, etc.) Stay tuned to see work from Week 2: Sea Creatures Checkers, with twists.
Yes, these winning toy pitches are available for license, or they may even inspire you to commission something else. It’s all good. We’d love to hear what you think!
Stay tuned! We’re announcing our newest artist next week and we’re super excited about it.
Contact us to assign or license art. We’re happy to help you find the perfect artist or gorgeous images for your project!

Check it out! I’m always thrilled when my artists take my Make Art That Sells courses. I’m delighted to show you the work that they created for the very last assignment for Bootcamp. (There were 900 students in that class. It’s a popular one). The assignment was to create a memory match card game, and my artists’ work always shines. Mama proud.
These are available for license, and as always, our artists are available to create custom art for your project.
If you’re interested in creating gorgeous, special, original toys, hop on over to MATS as today is the very last day to sign up for My Toy Pitch. It’s the very first time we’re running it, and the energy in class is invigorating! I am honored and thrilled to co-teach with former Mattel Creative Director and storehouse of knowledge, who as you probably know, is now our very own Toy, Game and Entertainment agent, Riley Wilkinson.

I’m Riley Wilkinson.
This grownup never grew up.
Lilla Rogers Studio’s new Toy Design Department is now my home as Toy and Game Agent and Inventor. I bring years of award-winning know-how as a toy, game, and Children’s Content Inventor and Creative Director. I’m developing toys, games, and story world concepts with LRS artists which are available for license.

My decades of insights and experience are now part of Lilla’s unique offering. Over the last 25 years, I’ve worked with Mattel Creations, American Girl, AARP, Educational Insights, MGA, Scholastic, and more. |
I began in the 1990s designing and art directing magazines, children’s educational books, stickers, wood puzzles, fine motor skill activity kits, and classroom décor. For the next 20+ years, I developed children’s electronics, preschool and children’s games, family games, science toys, classroom activities, talking globes, novels, and sporting goods. Some Sea Monkeys swam into the scene at one point: I even pitched a carnival ride for those critters!
Mass market buyers, specialty retailers, catalog developers, toy industry leaders, and eCommerce professionals have relied on me to develop and deliver innovative, imaginative products.

I’ll ask Tequitia how and why she went from traditional media to digital media, how her sociology major helped inform her work, thoughts on representation and empowering self-love and more. Come for the chat; stay for her gorgeous slideshow. Plus we’ll take a few questions live.
(Don’t worry–you won’t be seen on screen.)
We can’t wait!

I recently asked Tequitia to make a few images for children’s books. She pulled upon her childhood to create these images which I’m sure will blow you away as they did for us. I encourage you to contact us to assign her, as she will book up quickly.
