News flash! Our Toy Residency 2021

Are you an art director in the toy/game market? Want to see what our artists will do during our weeklong LRS-artists only Residency happening the week of March 15th? Our artists will be making absolutely genius toy and game pitches based on my brand-new Make Art That Sells course, My Toy Pitch, that I’m co-teaching with our brilliant toy, game and children’s entertainment agent, Riley Wilkinson.
The My Toy Pitch course goes live in July, so my artists will be getting a jump on the course material early, creating what I know will be some extraordinary toy and game pitches for this hot market that’s looking for innovative ideas illustrated beautifully.
Contact us to view the live showing of the artists’ work in progress on Zoom during the Residency (and give feedback if you like), or view the final work afterwards.
–Want to be a guest VIP for the course? We would absolutely love to have you join us! Contact us!

Join me today at 12:30 PM ET for another great FREE WebinART. Meet our witty and charming illustrator Julia Christians.

 

I’m excited to invite you to join me TODAY at 12:30 PM ET for the next in our series of WebinARTs as I chat with our witty and charming artist Julia Christians, (‘memorizing song lyrics is my useless superpower’). She’s worked on a variety of fantastic book projects for Nosy Crow, Oxford University Press, Scholastic, and more. You’ll see why she is kept so busy with work commissioned by top publishers.

 

to join our FREE WebinART on Zoom
with our artist Julia Christians today at 12:30 PM ET.

 

Join me as I ask Julia about her process (“the three P’s: Photoshop, Pencils and Procreate”) her tips on working from home with two kids, how she stays sane, and we’ll view her gorgeous work. We’ll do a random giveaway of one of Julia’s fully-illustrated books for one of the viewers.

 

“I worked with Julia on a children’s book series and I am blown away with how well she captured the characters’ humor and all the energy she injects in the stories! Julia is an amazingly talented illustrator!”
Elisabetta Barbazza, Senior Fiction Designer, Nosy Crow

What’s That In Dog Years
(Oxford University Press)

 

Lilla: What question would you most like to be asked?
Julia: Do you really want all these puppies?
When I saw this brilliant piece by Julia, I immediately knew that I had to represent her. What I saw was hilarious and expressive characters, the ability to depict cinematic views (close-ups, medium shots, wide angles), rich textures and charming lettering (not to mention the hilarious text she wrote!) This is still one of my all-time Julia Christians favorites.

Lilla: If you weren’t an illustrator, what would you be?
Julia: I would be a dog trainer!

See the gorgeous work my artists have created for my classes. My courses are on SALE. Download your free Guide.

One of my greatest joys as an agent is being able to mentor my artists and also share that knowledge with our community at large on my course platform, Make Art That Sells (MATS), now in its 8th year. I’m even cool if I’m helping artists who are represented by other agents. Why not? What’s good for one is good for all.

I found all 20 of the most recent artists that we’ve taken on for representation in my MATS classes. Why? Because I’d gotten to know them and witness their evolving brilliance. Scroll down to see the work that my own artists have created in my classes (even after being represented by me), and you’ll get why I love teaching.

Meet Katie Vernon. See why art directors from Porsche to Anthropologie love to commission Katie.

Here’s why we went nuts the very first time we saw Katie Vernon’s work: We loved her original style and her mastery of watercolor mixed with a dollop of charming weirdness, and we think this is why so many art directors–from Porsche to Anthropologie–commission her work.

We put together a show of some of our favorite projects that Katie has illustrated, from books, to teepees, to giant maps.
