NOVEMBER LICENSING BULLETIN
         

Brand new this month are two wonderful new series of children’s art by Sophie Harding.  You may not know that our most successful volume prints over the last few years have been Sophie Harding’s dinosaur series of children’s art SPB 226 – 229 .  Also, as you will know, our volume range has a fairly rapid turnover of images and almost the longest-lasting pieces of artwork in the range are the very first ones we published by Sophie Harding all those years ago, featuring her jungle animals SPB 1036-1039 which still sell in great quantities.  To capitalise on this, we are delighted now to introduce two new series:  a series of Jungle Babies, being the cubs, calves etc. of the Jungle Animal series, and a range of Fashion Fairies as the big sisters to the smaller Fashion Fairies for little girls, which we published two years back. 

 

Have you looked at our Sedona catalogue of international decorative art, which is currently our most important collection of wall décor?  The catalogue illustrates several hundred images and we are publishing around 50 more this autumn.  From the licensing point of view, there has been great interest in Sedona artwork for projects like homewares, where there have been very successful ranges of kitchen items, throws and fabrics, stationery (where the more representational work has proved particularly popular) and for general household textiles.  If you haven’t looked at the work, which perhaps was a little advanced for the European market two years ago, it is just right for now and is very popular for us.

Six new artists are published within our Silver range this year:  Julian Askins, Patrick Bailey, Suzie Pibworth, Carole Ivoy, Gary Whinn and Don Tyler.  It is impossible to know which one to pick, but you can see a presentation for all artists in the online issue of In The Frame, which is attached to our website.  Particularly for this email, though, we wanted to show you some of the decorative designs of Don Tyler, which we think would translate very well to a number of non-wall décor products.
