As a licensed artist, working without an agent, far longer than the one I started out with, art agent stories always catch my attention. I have submitted art to a few of my top choices, (one three times) did hear back, but not as I had hoped. I am still looking (hopeful) for the best/right fit. I've enjoyed extraordinary success on my own, but only in a concentrated venue. It stands to (my) reason, that there is much more potential that could be reached if only I (or an agent) could manage to cover more markets/clients/contacts. Too much to accomplish all aspects of this business single handed, I find.<br /><br />Tougher to break in these days, I agree, Into Art Licensing and art agencies! Thanks, I enjoyed reading.J.
