Several months ago I took an outrageously expensive licensing class that I had to create some artwork for.  I thought I'd share some of that artwork with you today.  

Fabric Design with coordinating prints:

JulieFei-Fan_Balzer_CookingWithSpice_5A_WK1

Plates:

PLATES-FINAL-500

Children's Book Cover:

3BillyGoatsGruff

Wall Art:

YouAreEnough-wm

Gift Items:

ZipperedPouchDONE

Licensing is definitely something that I'm interested in.  However, I pretty much came away from class with the sense that my work is not really what people are looking for.  I'm very proud of all of these pieces but I think my taste is not mainstream taste.  C'est la vie.  I will simply keep working on creating art that I love!

Thanks for stopping by!

  • Why do you think your work isn’t what people are looking for? The minute I saw your plate designs, I was looking for a link to buy them. And I love everything in the last pic. I think you would find a market. What about Etsy?

  • What? Are you crazy! I would so love to buy your designs, but maybe not the plates. Too busy for my food. I want fabric in it though. Maybe you should try spoonflower and we can order it off of there.

  • The plates are amazing and I can see those designs on fabric, too. I used to work in an elementary school and the book illustrations are exactly what young kids love. Funny, friendly animals using simple shapes and bright colors. And can’t you see that fabric made into an apron with coordinating trim? I respectfully disagree with you, Julie, I think your designs have a niche. You go girl!

    Sorry you decided your work was not main stream enough. Although the main fabric print was okay (IMO), I absolutely loved everything else, especially the wall art (want it!!) and the gift items (want them, too)!!! If you are not main stream then I must not be either. LOL!!!
    You are so talented and you work hard enough to make a living doing what you love and what you are so good at!! I wish I had half your talent!!

    My favorite store is Desigual. Your designs would rock that store. Your designs would rock any store.

  • I have to wholeheartedly agree with the comments above. Your designs are fresh, like no other, happy, etc. when you consider some of the other “licensed” products that are out there, your designs rock! I love the book cover. I am always looking for “my inner child” and the goats make me want to draw funny faces too.

  • I would buy your phone case in a heartbeat. They are gorgeous. And your book cover is fantastic. A lot of this is subjective-everyone doesn’t like the same thing, but I wouldn’t give up on the idea.

  • Julie, I think your art Is VERY worthy of licensing and it is what the consumer would want. Have you looked at some of the items your counterparts are licensing? Your patterns are so intricate and at least for me visually pleasing. I would buy a plate or the wall hanging. If this is something you are truly passionate about, you should definitely pursue it.

  • Julie, get that crazy idea out of your head this very instant. Your work is nothing shy of awesome and amazing! I subscribe to numerous blogs of which yours is the ONLY one I read every single day. My prayer is that one day I might create a journal page I like nearly as much as yours. Not sure what licensing gives you that you don’t already have but I know this-you are a talent and a gift to the world.
    Now, go do some good art!

  • Julie, get that crazy idea out of your head this very instant. Your work is nothing shy of awesome and amazing! I subscribe to numerous blogs of which yours is the ONLY one I read every single day. My prayer is that one day I might create a journal page I like nearly as much as yours. Not sure what licensing gives you that you don’t already have but I know this-you are a talent and a gift to the world.
    Now, go do some good art!

    I was already planning with the Summer fabric and was excited to see where and when your stationery items would be available.
    Your work is unique and full of color and energy.

  • I would buy any one of those pieces. If the folks doing the licensing class gave you the impression that your work was not something most people would be interested in then I think they are the ones who have missed the boat. With as much exposure to everything that we have with technology these days people don’t want “mainstream” any more. We want “different”.

  • I’ll just be one more voice chiming in that I think your stuff is great–especially the wall art and the gift items. Fun, colorful, and positive–just what the world needs!

  • Though I don’t know how you would have time for anything else…follow your dreams! I was blown away by your designs. Perhaps there are many of us who are not mainstream…I know the comments are from your followers and other artists, but they are cutting edge as always, right? Maybe I am wrong since I am an artist too…I’m definitely not mainstream. I don’t know anything about licensing, but my guess is your name alone would carry it. You’re the best!!!

When I saw the “plates” I immediately thought, “Perfect fabric collection.” The children’s book cover is so awesome, I can’t even stand it. And the wall art? OMG, Julie! Girl, you need to get yo’self licensed ASAP 😉 That is all.

    Mainstream = boring.
    Work like yours will never be mainstream. Mainstream is the opposite of creative. Who wants mainstream stuff? Yuck!
    Your art is new, exciting, and very creative. People love your work BECAUSE it’s not mainstream. That’s the point of art!

  • I would definitely buy the wall art design if it was turned into a rayon fabric. That’s just the sort of thing that makes a really nice, drapy cover shirt or kimono shirt that I know I would never see anyone else wearing. I see a lot of your paintings that would make fabulous fabrics. Cotton or rayon preferred. 🙂

  • You are WRONG about people not being interested in your art pieces.
    Every one of the items in your post are beautiful, and if I actually saw the items for sale in a store, I would be stopping to check them out, and probably purchasing them.
    I think the problem is that the items are not out there for us to purchase.
    You are incredibly talented, and I would love to see your designs on quilting fabric.

  • Hi Julie,
    I just LOVE your work and would eagerly scoop it up. (I had to clean drool off my computer screen!) Tote bags? Messenger bags? Pouches? Fabric? Greeting cards? Yes and yes! And if I had a real cell phone I’d buy a cover for that as well. Don’t give up — remember that one size doesn’t fit all and neither does one taste!

I don’t know anything about licensing, but it sounds a bit constricting. Make your OWN store, your OWN rules and sell your goods to those of us who are swim in a different stream 🙂

Something for everyone and in a price range that anyone could afford as in a pencil. Who can’t afford a pencil? It would be even more fabulous if they were water soluble pencils! Art suppies! Stellar!

Your’s is fantastic…let me say FANTASTIC. I would buy anything you put out there. The book cover is absolutely wonderful. You can illustrate anything. Please re-think this.
    I am like others here I read your blog everyday and look forward to getting it, just to get the chance to Ohh and Ahh over your work!

  • Julie- your work is excellent. Put it up in your own Etsy shop. People will buy it. Talk to others who have done this successfully. Once you have a track record of selling it on your own, it should open some “mainstream” doors. Don’t give up!

  • Beautiful work, Julie! Personally I am very tired of the simplistic graphic design looks I’ve been seeing. They are so ‘same ole’ to me. You work has a lot of depth and I think there are lots of people who would be interested.

  • Hi Julie! I took the same class the first time it was offered. I wanted to let you know that you can totally let go of that idea that your work is not what people are looking for. It might not be what L.R. is looking for, but that doesn’t mean someone else isn’t.
    There’s a great group on Facebook called “Pattern Playground” where there are quite a few alumni from the class, and many of them have wildly different styles compared to what was praised in the reviews. You might be interested in checking it out. It’s very lively and encouraging, and there’s plenty of talk about which classes are good and which are not so good.
    One place you might want to check out is the artlicensingblog.com by Tara Reed. She has a lot of free articles and information as well as offering classes, and it might give you some insights about how you could find your place in the licensing world.
    If it’s something you want to pursue, don’t give up!

  • I like them. And you are right about creating what YOU like.
    By the way, I am listening to ALL of your podcasts while quilting (a new skill). I love the podcasts for themselves, but I have found that listening keeps me from obsessing or thinking too deeply while doing improvisational work.
    THANK YOU!

  • Did you decide you were not mainstream or were you told you were not mainstream? The examples you show above I think are pretty mainstream Julie. I don’t know if everything you do would work but I do believe your strong color palette and hand made patterns would work for more than you think. The perfect example is your fabric set above. Love that and the other examples too.

  • Auh hey whoa whoa whoa are you not the same person that always says (not word for word) “Art is Free” Art is about enjoying yourself and what your creating.
    Your always talking about being so busy are you so busy that you don’t have time to look around and see what other crafters are doing. What other artists and crafters are making?
    I see what I guess your not.
    Art journaling. Gelli plate printing. Stamp making.
    That’s what everyone is making.
    The class you took was probably just full of stiffy plain Jane people. That’s just that class those people. I doubt it had anything to do with you.
    I love reading your emails and checking out your blog.
    Trust me your work is very much in demand.
    Look at all the comments. I haven’t read any yet but I’m pretty sure that all of them are disagreeing with what you think about your art not being what people want.
    Geez woman I’d love to make art with you and I’d give anything to be able to take a class with you.
    Just wasn’t your day maybe but it’s definitely not your art nobody wants.

  • Auh hey whoa whoa whoa are you not the same person that always says (not word for word) “Art is Free” Art is about enjoying yourself and what your creating.
    Your always talking about being so busy are you so busy that you don’t have time to look around and see what other crafters are doing. What other artists and crafters are making?
    I see what I guess your not.
    Art journaling. Gelli plate printing. Stamp making.
    That’s what everyone is making.
    The class you took was probably just full of stiffy plain Jane people. That’s just that class those people. I doubt it had anything to do with you.
    I love reading your emails and checking out your blog.
    Trust me your work is very much in demand.
    Look at all the comments. I haven’t read any yet but I’m pretty sure that all of them are disagreeing with what you think about your art not being what people want.
    Geez woman I’d love to make art with you and I’d give anything to be able to take a class with you.

  • Well I feel at this point, I am just piling on the praise. Your licensing work was impressive and delicious!! um, send me some plates? Yes, please. I would love to do licensing too and am afraid to even attempt an outrageously expensive class ~ do you mind telling us what class it was? Keep doing what you’re doing. Love your unique “non mass produced looking” style. Rock on.

This IS your market and somewhere, somehow in NYC there is someone with the licensing power to put you on the map…or er, on the store shelf as it were. You got talent girl. And energy. And you are in the right place at the right time. Go for it. Your stuff will sell, sell, sell…..don’t take the first response from an overpriced class as the final word. Find your Tooth Fairy. She’s out there and will guide you to mass marketing nirvana.

  • Totally agreeing with everything being said here. Your artwork stands out and is fantastic. I think you just have to find the right company to sell to who are forward thinking, artistic and is willing to stand out and be out of the box. It looks like there is enough people on here willing to buy so there definitely is a market out there. Keep plugging away Julie. I believe somewhere that a company will be right for you to licence your products with.

  • Julie I love your art and the freedom and colour – your work is an inspiration. The trouble is so many people are frightened of colour. When I was at uni, I was a very mature student and finished a few years ago I was always fighting the lecturers who found my colour was too much. They talked about the colour of nature and produced rust and browns with perhaps Indigo. I told them my garden was my muse and all the colours were there just look at the sweet peas and snapdragons. Julie do keep up what you are doing I have been bed bound for the last seven months as well as a lot of last year and your blog and bright informative videos have kept me going.
    The work you did for liscencing is commercial look at Kaffee Fassett and Australian Artist Ken Done they are very commercial and successful. Just because you don’t make the boring mainstream don’t ever let it stop you being who you are.

  • I’m so pleased to see that so many people managed to comment on this! They beat me to it….I was going to write you this: OH CONTRARE!! Your work is totally marketable in my universe. Who or what convinced you otherwise? They are wrong. I would purchase that zippered pouch in a heartbeat, Julie. Or the plates, etc. etc. Re-think all that!

  • Gosh, Julie – I would so purchase stuff with your awesome designs on them. Like a pouch – clear maybe on one side and that fantastic design on other Or design all around. Don’t know which world those folks live in that told you that? Kitchen towels, oven mitts, fridge magnets – all with that great wallpaper design – check.
    Keep at it, Julie! There is a world here that loves you and your creativity!

  • Dear Julie, I am not a commenter but I read MANY blogs. I take it all in. I find that I must comment on this post because I highly and most respectfully disagree with you wholeheartedly.
    If these items are for sale, I would like to know where… I would like to purchase the wall art and the storybook on The Three Billy Goats Gruff. I would also like to purchase the cell phone cover and the pencil bag in which I would be used exactly for my favorite pencils/art pens. I also would purchase both keyrings, pencils and depending if the plates are able to have food om them – I would purchase them as well. Short of not purchasing the fabric – and the only reason I would not purchase it is because I do not sew (not my cup of tea). Your art is phenomenal. If you put this online – perhaps it was that the storefront u used didn’t reach the right people!!!! I had to take the time to write this… You are an artist that I idolize. Just my two cents…. Not sure of this class or how you came to the conclusion that mainstream doesn’t like your work.. I bet you don’t have scientific proof of this!!!!! 🙂 I think if you took a poll – you would be very surprised at the results. Doe the class have a refund policy?
