And, because I am creating art to license it on products not to just please myself, I focus creating my art on what sells. In my case, the decorative flag industry is the core industry that licenses my art so for it I create vividly colored flowers, birds and butterflies which are big sellers of flags. Other artists, have found that their art is best suited for the fabric, or jig-saw puzzle or calendar industries so they create mainly for them. But, that doesn't mean that those are the only industries that license their art. Also that does not mean that artists only create art for their core industries.Joan Beirigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09354137719721177494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668465913284912052.post-80450367576557746982013-08-26T05:39:21.568-07:002013-08-26T05:39:21.568-07:00Except for the few top trends...do you focus a lot...Except for the few top trends...do you focus a lot on what sells when you sit down to create?

As always helpful and informative. ...Thanks Joan! As always helpful and informative. I always like to glance at what is on sale as well. Often it is just seasonal that is on sale, but when there are other things, I try to notice if there is a theme to what is put on sale, then I make a mental note to avoid that theme!
